#CHEVY EL CAMINO CAR FOR SALE UNDER 5000 DRIVERS#
Air shocks were also incorporated, which allowed drivers to compensate for heavy loads. This comprised of a new front bumper, grille, and trim. This trend of growing engines continued over the next few years, culminating in a 396 V8 big block rated up to 375 hp.Ĭertain Chevy models received a refreshed design in 1967, the El Camino included.
The second-generation variant leaned more toward practicality but also had the option of packing a 327 cubic inch small-block V8 rated up to 300 hp in 1964.Ī year later, a performance version of the V8 was available that pushed it up to 350 hp.
With the Ranchero still selling well, Chevy brought back the El Camino on the proven Chevelle platform. It could have been the new flamboyant wings of full-sized Chevys or perhaps the Ranchero's hefty stake in the market, but after just 2 years and 36,409 El Caminos produced, Chevy dropped the ax on the model. The El Camino was built on a modified Brookwood station wagon platform. GM flirted with coupe-type trucks such as the Chevrolet Cameo Carrier and the GMC Suburban Carrier in 1955, but they went all-in with the El Camino for the 1959 model year. The El Camino was a direct challenge Ford's Ranchero, a utility coupe dominating a previously untapped market. Is it a truck, or is it a car? We'll try to answer that question in this post. In the history of the automotive world, no car has evoked the existential stoicism of the Chevy El Camino.
