Much like showroom, extremely clean surfaces starting with the swing of the doors revealing the door panels utilizing smooth padded vinyl in deep maroon, molded plastic in excellent condition which houses the door pull, power windows, power locks and side view mirror joystick. Aluminum snowflake bowtie badged wheels are wrapped in Good Year Vector rubber on all 4 corners. I've always loved this year El Camino with its in bumper taillights, and curved rear glass, and this one the bumper on back and that rear window are just pristine. The hood has a rear facing scoop, and in back the bed on this example is lined with a rubber liner and has nice chromed rail bars to easily batten down any unwieldy cargo, bungee cords not included! Badging is all near perfect, and even the door handle notes its “Designer Series”.
A limited number of El Camino SS (this one included) had aerodynamic-ground effect style side exhausts with rectangular chrome exits, which are just for looks. In addition to the aerodynamic nose treatment that was the primary styling feature of all El Camino SS's, all vehicles received graphics on the fascia, doors and tailgate, and a small chrome train logo above the glove compartment door. LOW original miles 17,775 and it definitely looks and runs like it.ĭonning the Choo Choo SS appearance package add on from the dealership, this black beauty sports exacting gaps of straight steel panels, and save for 1 drive belt, is an ALL ORIGINAL car/truck. Someone from GM thought that was a good idea, and hence the EL Camino was born, although technically the Ford Ranchero beat them to it (1957 as opposed to 1959) but hey it's a great story! For consignment a Choo Choo Custom version of the El Camino right out of a second owner's garage, very much like the first owner who would disconnect the battery each time after it was driven, and put it back into the A/C garage. The concept of a truck like car came from a farm woman in Australia who wanted a truck to haul hay on the weekdays, and a car she could drive to church on Sunday. In fact, Elliot was so impressed by Bradley's custom El Camino, he insisted that Mattel use it as a model for the first line of Hot Wheels toy cars (The Fleetside). This El Camino should be fully restored or at least properly maintained for years to come, and if you want to make it yours, then you should check out the ad here, but not before telling us what you make of it in the comments area down below.Rumor has it that Mattel's Elliot Handler (the 'el' in Mattel), spotted designer Harry Bradley's El Camino in the Mattel HQ parking lot and commented, “Those are some hot wheels,” coining the new name for Mattel's line of toy cars, Hot Wheels. The chassis is “ complete and undamaged,” the seller says, though “ newer exhaust system components are noted.” Power is supplied by the original 5.0-liter V8 engine, which is bone-stock and works in concert with an automatic transmission. Matching carpets, two-spoke steering wheel, brown and tan dashboard complete with the five-gauge analog instruments, steering column-mounted automatic transmission shifter, HVAC controls, original AM radio, and other things are on deck too. Tan vinyl upholstery decorates the cabin, on the split-bench seat, center armrest, and door cards. Minimal wear can be seen in the bed, and on the door handles that show light patina.

It can be yours for $14,900, has 26,577 miles (42,772 km) on the odo, and is said to be unmolested, and well taken care of.Ī tan on tan example, with dark brown accents on the lower parts of the body, it is in “ excellent condition overall,” the vendor says, save for “ some scratches and minor marks.” The original ornaments and logos are still here, the windows are clear, and don’t have any cracks or discoloration, and the chrome bumpers, and 14-inch wire wheels, wrapped in 205/75 tires, are in good condition too. Take the 1986 El Camino pictured in the gallery, for instance, which is advertised on GarageKeptMotors for a very decent price.
