The engine compartment is clean and detailed, featuring polished, chrome, and billet aluminum components. This 496 c.i. big block was built to performance on the street. This has been an adult-owned and maintained example.





Closer inspection of the custom brilliant Silver metallic base/clearcoat finish will reveal a quality finish with a few minor flaws. This is an approximately 10-year old professional base/clearcoat paint job in very good condition. There are two locations photographed near the drip rail where bubbles have began to form. There are a small number of minor touch-ups as well. The body is straight throughout and is complimented by red pinstripes along the lower body edge. This is a good looking El Camino sports very strong mechanicals along with an older cosmetic restoration along with quality chrome and wheels.














The interior features full Super Sport (SS396) trim, including the doorpanels, dash, and steering wheel. The red vinyl bench seating is complimented by recently replaced doorpanels. The dash has been fitted with a custom gunmetal gray textured & clearcoated gauge bezel that houses full Autometer Carbon Fiber Ultra-Lite series gauges that include a 160 mph speedometer & 10,000 rpm tachometer. An Alpine CD sound system (CDA-9847CD) has been professionally installed as well, complete with custom moulded kickpanels & speakers.




We would like to extend a special thanks to the Dallas Love Field Frontiers of Flight Museum for their historical aviation backgrounds in many of our photographs.




This sinister stance is courtesy of 17-inch polished American Racing Torque Thrust wheels with B.F. Goodrich radial T/A rubber sized at 235/45 on all 4 corners.
