1969 Chevrolet El Camino -- Description

Thoroughly well configured and packing plenty of power, along with an ultra-sharp looking exterior, this 1969 Chevrolet El Camino is one of those rare classics that can effortlessly motor to a local car show and cruise away with some hardware while providing a top notch driving experience along the way. This is an outstanding representative of Chevy's revolutionary half-truck/ half-car model and it also features a well-thought out, comfortable interior boasting a killer sound system. El Caminos... were designed to combine the functionality of a truck with the drivability and appointments of a car and this Chevy maximizes the aesthetics on the model's one of a kind form. It's decked out in a great paint job - the Hugger Orange color it wears was a signature shade back in its era and was voted one of the coolest colors of all time in a study conducted by collector car insurance company Haggerty. It's in fine form, with a consistently slick texture and a deep shine. The muscle car sensibilities are obvious here - when viewed from the front, the Chevelle-like appearance will strike you right away - and the aggressive cowl scoop on the hood seems right at home in this setting. The functionality aspect of the model is no mere novelty, as the rear cargo area is long and broad, with plenty of space between the wheel wells, and a rubber mat lines its floor. With the exception of the modified hood and a set of jaw-dropping aftermarket wheels, the car is in stock configuration and the collection of chrome it wears is in excellent condition. Inside, you'll find a very nicely equipped, fresh-looking interior sporting its original black hue and benefits from a number of inspired upgrades that blend nicely with surrounding stock elements. A pair of Pro Car bucket seats take their place at the center of the cockpit, showing no marked signs of wear as they straddle a fully custom center console that puts a collection of speakers in perfect position as they pair with a subwoofer cabinet mounted behind the seat to fill the cabin with the sounds of an AM/FM/stereo with Bluetooth and iPod connectivity. Farther back, a set of nicely integrated control switches sit with easy reach of the driver. A stout aftermarket steering wheel is now perched on the column and just beyond it the instrument panel carries a full complement of new digital gauges. The sight of skilled workmanship never grows tiresome, and that's just what we have here. A 350 cubic inch V8 is underneath the steel cowl hood, supplying plenty of smooth, dependable power. It's fed by a 4-barrel Holley carb stacked on an Edelbrock intake manifold, with electronic ignition on board to maximize all-weather dependability. The potent engine sits in a well-maintained compartment and has received a number of new components to increase its dependability, including its timing chain and cover, rear main seal and oil pan gasket. Behind it is a 3-speed automatic TH350 transmission that's shifting in top form, while at the front of the engine bay you'll find a sizable, 3-core aluminum radiator that's accompanied by dual electric fans to keep operating temperatures in check. Four-wheel power disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors that work in tandem with a new booster will supply all the fade resistant stopping ability you'll need as this well-configured classic cruises on its set of 17" Ridler wheels. If you're on the hunt for a distinctive muscle car that features a great combination of smile-inducing power, interior comfort and magnetic curb appeal, you need to see this 1969 Chevrolet El Camino.
