Description for Chevrolet El Camino 1978
This El Camino carries the rare Z16 Black Knight Package. There were approximately 1200 made before GM ceased production due to pending litigation associated with a copyright infringement. A quick Google search will supply you with this information.This is a complete original car that I received in trade a year ago. I was going to go through it and refresh it but I have three other projects in front of it so I wont get to this within a reasonable time. This car deserves attention. I currently use it for light hauling.
I have the build sheet and it confirms the Z16 package. The mileage shown on this is believed original and has not rolled over based on discussion with PO. I believe this is a 2-owner car.
The option list is extensive and includes:
- Tinted Glass
- A/C
- Door edge guards
- Sport mirrors
- 273 posi rear
- PB
- AT - 3 speed
- Tilt
- PS
- Gauges
- Light package
- Clock
- HD rad
Overall condition of body is respectable. There is rust and the rear bumper mount on the passenger side as well as a reinforcement plat under the axle need attention. With that said I would rate the frame a solid 8.5. The corrosion is minor but I disclose all I am aware of.
Quarters have had some work done it appears. bed is solid. Floor pans look good. Its had a repaint and some of the original graphics were not reapplied.
It runs and stops well and I have had it up to speed. It does burn oil but I believe it is valve seals. I have not done a compression check however.
I believe this is a numbers match car but do need to check engine VIN again to be doubly sure.
It is pictured with Ralley Wheels. These are not original, o not convey and are not for sale. It will come with the correct 14 inch package wheels.
This is a complete and unmolested project vehicle in the increasingly popular G-Body style. Its one of 1,200 and a car you can get in and drive. My reserve is fair and reflects the value of the trade I made for this car.
Hagerty shows this car valued at $9,400 for a base model El Camino. Though I feel those values are a bit high. The rarity of this vehicle associated with its completeness and drivability make it quite a value with my low reserve.
