1959 Chevrolet El Camino Red Hardtop 502 V8 5 Speed Manual

Description for Chevrolet El Camino 1959

Body Off Restored El Camino Restomod 502ci V8 508hp 5spd Manual A/C 4 Wheel Disc /// This exceptional first-year El Camino is a choice classic that combines 502 cubic inches of big block power with an upgraded performance suspension, five forward gears and captivatingly cosmic appeal! The beneficiary of a body-off, nut-and-bolt restoration, this Camino is a razor-sharp head turner that currently presents much better than original factory fodder. During the car's precise reboot, solid sheetmetal was massaged into great... alignment. Bright BASF base was sealed in Glasurit clear and dressed in professionally restored trim. And today, one close look at our high-resolution photos reveals a handsome payoff in the form of one slick Chevrolet resto-mod! Check the car's clean engine bay and you'll find 502 cubic inches of buff Chevy big block which, according to a receipt that's included with the car's sale, was sourced directly from GM Performance Parts. That impressive big block twists a tough Tremec TKO600 5-speed. At the front of the car, a factory sway bar leads trick drop spindles, tubular control arms and modern coil-over-shocks. Opposite that hardware, a massaged rear-clip features aftermarket lowering springs, CPP control arms and choice Bilstein shocks. A premium CPP steering gear is augmented with four CPP calipers, which clamp a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. And at the corners of the car, polished American Racing Torq Thrust IIs spin sporty Cooper Zeons. Peer through this Chevy's curvaceous greenhouse and you'll find an attractive Red Houndstooth interior. Modern power windows frame a broad bench seat. A jet-inspired dash hangs Dakota Digital telemetry above modern air conditioning and a short Hurst shifter. And in front of the driver, a stylish Lecarra steering wheel laps a tilting column. A rare exercise in gratuitous power and flamboyant style, this killer Chevy is a well-done classic that'll be a blast on the road and a hit at the show! Call, click or visit for more information.
