1980 Chevrolet El Camino

This 1980 Chevrolet El Camino is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. The El Camino was Chevrolet's answer to Ford's wildly popular Ranchero. Brought out in 1959 and based off the Impala platform the first El Caminos were much bigger and many say nicer but did not sell as well as the Ranchero and production ended just one year later. Just 4 years later though it would return and it seems as if Chevy got their stuff together finally with production going clear into 1987. This 1980 is a great example of what a lot of people are doing with these. First they find one that the body is in decent condition and drop a small block in it. This El Camino fits that bill to a t. Gone is the original 305 and in its place is the classic go to piece, a small block 350. This one has only 15k miles on it which is just getting broke in. The Corvette inspired valve covers are a nice touch versus going the normal chrome which needs constant maintenance. Backing that crate motor is a 200r4 transmission which complements the small block nicely. The exterior has been treated with a top notch paint job. The clear coat is in excellent condition and shines as if it was new. The custom chrome trim all around really sets the paint color off and is a very subtle custom touch. Both bumpers are in excellent condition and compliment the rest of the custom trim. A set of Corvette rally wheels finish off the exterior and really brings it all together. Open the door and you will see an interior that is a lot sportier than most El Camino's. The bucket seats are in great condition with the leather still soft with no signs of wear or cracking. The dash is all original and unlike most is not cracked and broken. The tan carpet completes this very clean interior. Options on this 1980 Chevrolet El Camino include, AC, AM/FM, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Leather, Tilt, Seat Belts, and Rally Wheels wrapped in Radial Tires.
