Randy!  He drives an El-freakin'-Camino!  That's like the Cadillac of cars! 

--Earl Hickey

Built on the Chevelle chassis for 1969, powertrain options are nearly limitless, the utility body is ready for hauling while the car chassis makes for a comfy cruiser.  We’ve got one of the nicest ones you’ll find here--a 502ci powered, smoothed and straight midnight blue stormer with creature comforts everywhere.  You can tell a lot of love went into this build!

Start outside.  You’ll notice a startling lack of adornment for a custom vehicle, but it’s not so stark that something looks amiss.  By and large the emblems were shaved, the tailgate was smoothed, a cowl hood was added and the monotone paint looks great against the Intro wheels.  What trim is on the car is perfect from the window frames to the bed rails to the new grille, most of which is NOS due to the lack of El Camino trim that’s available.  New lights and lenses and new glass, new chrome door handles, mirrors and hood inserts are in place, as well.  The bed is as smooth as the sides of the truck, which is difficult to accomplish given its utilitarian nature--things simply bang around back there.  Obviously someone spent a lot of time getting this body in order and it shows.

Underneath you’ll find clean, original floors.  Unusually, all of the sheetmetal is original other than the cowl hood--you won’t find that on many of these!  The frame-off job was a thorough one, smoothing the panels and installing all new and rebuilt components.  You’ll find an F41 suspension underneath with Hotchkis sway bars, boxed lower control arms, HD springs and KYB shocks.  GM disc brakes up front bring you to a stop while Nitto NT555 tires, 235/45/17 front and 255/45/18 rear wrap around Intro wheels for your contact patches.  An AGR power steering box points the car where you want it to head, a 700R4 transmission provides fuel efficiency for the 502 up front and a rebuilt 12 bolt out back puts the power down.  Three-chamber Flowmasters rumble up the soundtrack without being obtrusive.  There’s a new fuel tank and fuel and brake lines, as well:  This truck was built to run.

GM’s 502ci crate motor lives under the hood, prepared for any road you throw its way.  Rated at 450hp, the big mill has a couple locomotive’s worth of torque in a docile enough package to drive every day.  Ceramic coated headers send spent gasses rearward while a Holley mixer up top send in new fuel.  An HEI ignition lights the mix while a HD radiator keeps temps in check.  The A/C system works as it should and is restored to factory new appearance.  There’s a new Optima battery in the corner and fresh hoses, belts and wires for worry-free motoring.

Inside you’ll be sitting in comfort surrounded by new upholstery, custom touches and a whopper of a stereo.  Plush bucket seats with new covers and reworked foams sit you front and center.  Stare straight ahead at the Covan carbon fiber-look dash holding a full compliment of real carbon fiber Auto Meter Ultra Lite gauges.  They’re subtle and trick all at the same time.  The center console looks like new and features a new shift lens marking out the 700R4’s four speed shift pattern.  There’s no radio in the dash, but fear not--this car ROCKS.  More than $4,000 worth of sound equipment sits on behind the passengers, starting with a Pioneer Premier head unit with a remote control hub inside the center console.  Upholstered panels hold 5 1/4" Diamond components, 4 1/2" Diamond coaxials, two 6.5" JL Audio subwoofers and an Alpine PDX4.150 high power amp.  Dynamat coats the interior for better acoustics and reduced heat.  Adjust the sports wheel on the tilt column to your liking, notice the fresh door panels, armrests, headliner, carpet, dash pad and chrome pieces and head out for a cruise!

El Caminos aren’t for everyone.  You have to want something unique rather than the run-of-the-mill.  You need to be social, as El Camino owners stick together like family.  You’ll want to take a drive for the drive’s sake.  If this sounds up your alley give us a call.
