DESCRIPTION
Here\'s a firecracker: a red El Camino with a 383 stroker and a 4-speed! Excellent fit and finish, it has received a detailed ground up restoration and is looking like a knockout. Also fitted with air conditioning, power steering and 4 wheel disc brakes, it is ready to be driven. The original protect-o-plate and owner\'s manual are included. This truck is proof that you don\'t need to spend over $100,000 on a classic to have fun and look cool too!
EXTERIOR: Simple yet striking with the perfect stance! Looking down the side of the body it is absolutely straight as an arrow. All the body panels are nicely aligned, and the gaps are above average. The paint has been applied with great attention to detail then brought to a shiny and reflective finish. All the chrome trim and bumpers have a lustrous shine. It has dual side view mirrors. It\'s sitting on a gorgeous set of 17\" American Racing special edition chrome 5 spoke mags. They are wrapped in a set of Hancook radial tires that are a litter fatter in the back.
INTERIOR: Completely refinished and ready to cruise! It\'s gonna be a heck of a lot of fun throwing around that 4 speed manual shifter. Rare bucket seats and a console. The headliner, sun visors, rearview mirror, door panels, bucket seats, center console, and carpeting have all been replaced. The optional dash pad looks fresh and even the glove box liner was replaced. The metal portion of the dash has been painted a slick black and it has a full array of Auto Meter Phantom gauges to monitor the engine vitals. The rosewood deluxe wheel is a nice touch too. The dome light is working as well.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Performance built 383 stroker! The engine has a bunch of upgrades including a Holley double pumper carburetor, aluminum intake manifold, GM performance aluminum heads, serpentine belt drive system, MSD ignition, and long tube headers. It is equipped with power steering and power brakes. A Fluidyne Aluminum radiator with electric fan keep the power plant cool. The squirters are hooked up. The underside of the hood, fender wells, and firewall have all been neatly painted satin black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Open the tailgate and the jamb is painted slick just like the body. The latches were replaced, and it has chrome hinges. The metal bed is shiny, rust free and is painted as slick as the exterior!
UNDERSIDE: It looks like it has had a frame off restoration! The steering and suspension look new: ball joints, center link, tie rod ends, shocks, springs etc. It\'s equipped with a four wheel disc brake system and the emergency brake is hooked up. Nice long tube headers with a full dual exhaust system and Flowmaster mufflers that sound amazing. The gas tank was replaced and has new hardware too. The builder added an external electronic fuel pump. Looking up at the fresh 383 stroker motor everything is clean and proper; it has a high torque starter. The Muncie 4 speed manual transmission also looks fresh. A rebuilt driveshaft leads back to a 12 bolt rear with a chrome cover. The frame and floors are rust free, smooth metal with a neatly applied semi-gloss black paint.
SERVICE: Our lead mechanic thoroughly inspected this truck and installed the idle return spring, repaired the reverse lights, repaired the horn, tightened the steering wheel, replaced the speedometer cable, and replaced a high beam headlight.
If you think twice about the opportunity to own a beautiful and desirable classic like this you will likely miss your chance. It\'s got the performance, it\'s got the look, and it\'s got the 4 speed manual transmission. Only thing it still needs is a new owner...
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car\'s condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
