1978 Chevrolet El Camino - New 409 V8 and 9" Ford Rear Axle

Description for Chevrolet El Camino 1978

1978 Chevrolet El Camino Listed below is an overview of the new parts and highlights of the car. Mechanically everything on the car is new and has been replaced or rebuilt if necessary. The car itself has just over 104. 00 miles on the odometer. but it only has 1. 00 miles on the new powertrain. A large portion of the car’s original build sheet was found during the rebuild; it was built in Fremont. CA and sold by a dealership in Las Vegas. NV. From there it has spent its entire life in Tucson. AZ and it is currently a 3 owner car. This car is free of rust and body rot; the only thing it needs is a nice paint job and you will have a great show piece or leave it as is and it will remain a great sleeper. Outside of a paint job it will need a front end alignment from a good shop and the headliner needs to be re-glued (it holds but loses some adhesion when it’s cold). I have not had the vehicle on a dyno so I can not say what the horsepower is at the rear wheels; the engine itself is rated at 400 horsepower. Vehicle is being sold is as is. no warranty. Buyer is responsible for the cost of picking up the vehicle or making arrangements for the vehicle to be transported. Deposits are not refundable. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I will do my best to answer.
