1986 Chevrolet El Camino

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to present this 1986 Chevrolet El Camino by Choo Choo Customs, a vehicle that embodies a unique blend of style and performance. This particular model, with its striking gray exterior, is a testament to the exclusive partnership between Chevrolet and Choo Choo Customs, a collaboration that spanned from 1983 to 1987, producing less than 5,000 of these cars. During this period, Choo Choo Customs focused on enhancing the El Camino with a series of cosmetic upgrades that set it apart from its contemporaries. The standout features include an aerodynamic front end, a Monte Carlo SS-inspired design, and distinctive graphics and badging that highlight its designer series pedigree. The 1986 model year was particularly special, with fewer than 1,000 units produced, making this El Camino a rare find for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Each Choo Choo Customs El Camino was uniquely crafted, and this is evidenced by the driver's door jam re-certification decal, which lists the vehicle's sequential build number, year code, and the last six numbers of the VIN. This attention to detail underscores the exclusivity and authenticity of the vehicle. Under the hood, this El Camino is powered by a 305 cid V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, offering a driving experience that is both powerful and smooth. The interior is equally impressive, featuring a red cloth finish that complements the vehicle's exterior aesthetics. Comfort and convenience are at the forefront, with features such as air conditioning, an AM/FM radio with a cassette tape player, and power amenities including power brakes, power locks, power steering, and power windows. The inclusion of cruise control and a tilt steering wheel further enhances the driving experience, while custom wheels and performance tires add a touch of flair and improved handling. This 1986 Chevrolet El Camino by Choo Choo Customs is not just a vehicle; it is a piece of automotive history, representing a unique era of design and craftsmanship. Its limited production run and distinctive features make it a coveted addition to any collection, offering a blend of nostalgia and performance that is hard to find in today's market.
