![]() This Chevrolet El Camino is an outstanding bespoke muscle car, upgraded with a higher-revving modern LS3 V8, custom coachwork, and a modernised interior with greater comfort and refinement. It was last serviced in August 2020 at 1,734 miles, when it received a full inspection, plus an engine oil and filter change.The most recent MOT test was on, at an indicated 145 miles since the restoration, which resulted in a first-time pass with no advisories.All items are brand-new and working perfectly. The Pro-Classic bucket seats have Alcantara thigh and back insert panels to keep driver and passenger more secure when cornering at higher speeds. The interior is unmarked and shows only the slightest signs of use commensurate with just over 2,000 miles since the refurbishment.All of the brightwork is also in superb order, as are the wheels. Its paintwork remains in truly excellent condition, following the restoration completed just over three years ago.Pioneer head unit with pop-out display screen and reversing camera, DAB digital radio and phone connectivity.1000-watt sound system with custom cabinet installation (2x Alpine amps, 4x 8in mid-range, 4x tweeters, 1x subwoofer).TMI Products Pro-Classic leather and Alcantara bucket seats.Custom bed cover with bespoke drainage design.Custom 17” steel wheels with Nitto tyres.Ridetech coilover suspension front and rear.Transmission ‘Sport’ mode with accelerator kick-down.Gearstar Stage III 4L60E overdrive transmission.Accompanying the car is some photo documentation of the build process, plus a copy of Classic American from May 2021, which profiles the car in full, as shown in the gallery. ![]() For the transmission, a GM 4L60E four-speed automatic was chosen, which enabled ECU control of shift points and speed, and even hooking up a ‘Sport’ button. In place of the original straight-six, this El Camino is now fitted with a GM Performance 6.2-litre LS3 crate engine, producing up to 525bhp.The colour was also changed to its current dark green hue from the original 1960s Chevrolet palette. The bodywork was subtly changed with six inches taken out of the length behind the rear axle, and the exterior lines and interior mouldings around the loading bay all modified and smoothed accordingly.More than £120,000 was invested in the build, and the seller is confident there is simply not a better El Camino available in terms of condition and specification. ![]()
