1986 Chevrolet El Camino

Description

This 1986 Chevrolet El Camino represents one of the final years for the legend. So a well-presented and affordable example is always a terrific find. And when you learn it has a loaded A/C interior, an overdrive transmission, and solid numbers-matching V8 power, you really start to think of just how much you can enjoy this Chevy.

These final generation El Caminos seem to stay in demand because they have one of the sportiest designs of any generation. The unibody car/truck look looks particularly nice with the way the rear pillar can take the time to flow down into the bed behind it. And the rear looks like a pure custom machine with the frenched license plate, tail lights in the bumper, and the way the tailgate almost seamlessly wraps into the overall design. And while this is a true classic, it also likes to remain useful. So you have a thick bed mat, bed rails, and a proper tow hitch. In fact, the overall theme feels like a vintage Chevy that also likes to be driven and enjoyed. So you get a stock and clean style with the body lines, dark blue paint, factory wheels, and chrome bumpers. All of it has a pleasant driver-ready style so that you could basically be taking this El Camino out every day. And when you do, you just know every classic fan who has to settle for a crossover will be jealous when they see you.

The loaded interior reminds you that this is a truck with sedan levels of comfort. The pillow-top cloth seating is amazingly plush. You can choose to seat three across or fold down the armrest for individual comfort for two. You have all the best factory features like power windows, power locks, cruise control, and cold-blowing air conditioning. You may choose to upgrade to a modern stereo or update a few trim pieces, but from day one it feels quite inviting and it's also set up to be a nice driver. You have factory features like a tilt steering column and round gauges with tach. And there's also a nice full set of auxiliary readouts to keep you better informed.

Under the hood is exactly what you want to see. It's the numbers-matching 305 cubic-inch V8. We love these small-block powerhouses because of how hardy they are. So while it already has an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, it's exceptionally easy to upgrade and source parts if you want to take it further to the next level. But we already like this one for the way it represents a solid cruiser. It fires up readily, idles smoothly, and makes a smooth tune from the newer exhaust. It's a smooth runner that's set up to be an easy all-day cruiser with features such as power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive.

Complete with owner's manual, this is a true cruiser and a true classic. So you know you want to hit the road in this final-gen El Camino. Call today!!!
