1959 Chevrolet El Camino – Rotisserie Restored, Original 348 V8, Show History

This beautifully restored 1959 Chevrolet El Camino marks the inaugural year of the model and is a standout example with an impressive local and national show pedigree. Rotisserie restored and finished in classic black and white two-tone, this El Camino is both a head-turner and a true driver.

A local legend, this car has won numerous trophies and plaques at shows across the country—including awards for Longest Distance Driven, thanks to a dedicated owner who wasn’t afraid to enjoy it on the open road. A large collection of show trophies and memorabilia will be included with the sale.

Under the hood is the car’s original 348ci V8, now topped with a 3×2-barrel carburetor setup and recently rebuilt in 2024. Included is a super rare factory air cleaner specific to this configuration (see photos). Originally equipped with a column-shift 3-speed, it now features a rebuilt period-correct 3-speed manual paired with a Borg Warner R10 overdrive unit, installed in 2023. A new clutch and resurfaced flywheel were also added.

Additional Features Include:

Power steering
Power brakes (recently rebuilt)
Vintage Air A/C and heat system
Black and white houndstooth interior – excellent condition
Newer Coker 14×8 whitewall tires

While the paint and body show very well, it’s not without imperfections—minor scratches, touch-ups, small dents, and a few bubbles and a crack on the hood are visible in the photos. Still, this El Camino is incredibly presentable and built to be driven and shown.

A rare opportunity to own a first-year El Camino with pedigree, performance, and style—ready to hit the road or show field.
