The practical muscle car? The truck that hauls more than cargo? It's hard to describe the El Camino but this 1978 example is an excellent example of one of Chevy's better ideas. Nicely preserved it's a future collectable that you can enjoy right now. Finished in sinister deep black paint this El Camino has apparently never worked a day in its life instead being treated as a cool daily driver and later a collector piece by only a handful of dedicated owners. The paint job is fairly recent and looks fantastic but it's clear that the bodywork was ultra-straight before any of the work began. The chiseled flanks of the late Elkys neatly balanced the need to carry cargo and still maintain car-like proportions and few will argue that the SS package on this one doesn't make a great-looking truck. As the photos will attest the bodywork is straight the paint buffed to a high shine and aside from some shaved badges the overall stock appearance was maintained. Even the bed is neatly refinished and the lack of any serious scuffs or dents suggest that it has probably been used as the world's biggest trunk rather than a cargo bay. Thanks to a brand new seat cover for the bench seat the interior looks fresh and inviting. Items like the door panels and dash look so good that you might suspect they're replacement pieces but it appears that they are 100_actory original. The same is true of the carpets which have not been crushed by years of foot traffic and age. The Z15 package also includes a complete array of gauges including a tachometer and this Elky also offers goodies like A/C a tilt wheel remote mirrors and cruise control so it's ready for a cross-country jaunt. The original AM/FM radio remains in the dash which should tell you something about how untouched this trucklet really is and it remains a pleasure to drive under any conditions. No matter where you go Home Depot or the local cruise night you're sure to get admiring glances and positive comments. The engine is a 350 cubic inch V8 that makes all the right sounds thanks to an aggressive dual exhaust system. With a great muscle car feel the engine delivers a big dose of low-end torque befitting a truck but cruises at high speeds without complaint. The engine bay is tidy and nicely maintained with evidence of the original engine enamel still clinging to the block and the original air cleaner up top. Routine maintenance has kept it in top operating condition and clean living certainly doesn't hurt. Just in case you still want to use it as a truck air shocks in back help keep the body level. Handsome Rally wheels are always the right choice and wear staggered BFGoodrich T/A radials all around. This is a very neat muscle truck that already has a loyal following.
