1968 Chevrolet El Camino $32,500

Rare ELCAMINO, Numbers matching Fully Rebuilt 327 ROLLER EVERYTHING, 4-SPEED, PWR DISC FRONT, POWER STEER, R134A AC Car, needs recharge, I do not use it but had it fully functional. The car has been fully restored and well sorted. I drive this car 2-3 times a month on weekends. Thumbs up every time I drive it. It looks and sounds awesome.

With the handsome good looks of a Chevelle and the utility of a pickup, the El Camino offers the best of both worlds: performance and practicality. This 1968 Chevrolet El Camino has been built to further blur the lines that separate vehicles: performance, great looks, and comfort.

The bodywork is nicely finished and the workmanship is shown to great effect thanks to the beautiful bright red paint with black SS stripes ( Still 9 out of 10) , which look just about right on this racy truck/car. Gaps are good and a lot of time was invested in getting the body panels this straight when it was repainted a few years ago.

The Rhino Spray Finished bed is protected by a Custom Paint Matched Hard-Shell Tonneau Cover and the bed was refinished with gorgeous Oak Finish Planks that look warm and inviting, but also mean the bed is best used as the world's biggest trunk. Trim is bright and well maintained, with good chrome on the bumpers, a stock grille, and the trim around the bed is very nice, with no obvious dings or damage from use.

A Perfect Black Vinyl top is a rarely-seen option but it looks remarkably good on this upscale El Camino. The black interior is almost entirely replaced and features a pair of neatly upholstered black buckets with red stripes that seem appropriate. Carpets, Headliner, and Door Panels are reproduction pieces that look good and fit right, and the bucket seats make it feel spacious in the cab. A custom center console and a Hurst shifter, which features a carbon fiber shift ball for a high-tech look. Factory original gauges are joined by a column-mounted tach and auxiliary dials under the dash, and the wheel is from Budnik, and it works well the carbon accents. A/C in original and has been rebuilt. It is a nice touch in a car that's built to cruise, and you also get an AM/FM/CD stereo head with amp unit that really fills the small cabin with sound.

This El Camino has all the right stuff to make a first-rate hobby car. The engine is the original 327 cubic inch V8, which was fully rebuilt and runs extremely strong! It's got the usual upgrades including an aluminum intake manifold, Holley 4-barrel carburetor, FULL ROLLER Valvetrain, Electronic ignition, Ported Heads, and Long-Tube headers to help build Torque. The engine bay is extremely sanitary and clean, with a lot of dress-up items such as those chrome valve covers and air cleaner as well as a custom serpentine belt drive with polished accessories like the alternator and AC Compressor. The just rebuilt Muncey transmission is a 4-speed manual, Professionally Rebuilt by a GM Master Mechanic as well as a new clutch. The ElCamino drives like new and it snaps through the gears with authority. There's a recent Flow-Master Dual Exhaust System that gives it a great performance sound and the 12-bolt rear end that has 331 Posi - Street-Friendly Gears inside. Newly added are Classic SS Cragar Mags and Cooper Raised letter Tires all Brand New. With a great deal of money spent recently, this is a good, clean El Camino that's ready to drive and enjoy!
