Dick’s Classic Motors is proud to present this 1978 Chevrolet El Camino for sale. The El Camino blended the power of a muscle car with the utility and versatility of a pickup. This unique vehicle catered to a wide range of consumers, from car enthusiasts to contractors, offering both performance and practicality.
The interior of this El Camino is near flawless, with no rips, tears, or stains. It features comfortable bench seats and clean door panels, center console, and dashboard. The blue and cream vinyl interior is adorned with Chevy Bowtie emblems throughout the seats, adding a classic touch. The car is equipped with a Viper alarm system with remote start, and the upgraded JVC Bluetooth stereo with Rockford Fosgate 6×9 speakers ensures that you enjoy your favorite tunes with crisp sound. Not to mention, the air conditioning blows COLD, perfect for warm weather cruising. A tilt steering column allows for a customized driving position and provides a clear view of the gauges.
The fifth-generation El Camino features a smaller, sleeker design with sharp styling and a unique single headlight design. This Pastel Blue El Camino is in great shape overall, with a few minor chips, but no dents. One of the highlights of this generation is the new chassis, which was unique to the El Camino and not shared with other Chevrolet models. The truck bed is fitted with a soft side tonneau cover that matches the interior, adding to the truck’s overall sleek look.
Under the hood, this El Camino is powered by a 5.7L V8 LS1 engine, which fires up nicely and delivers excellent power. It inhales through a proper four-barrel carburetor and provides a smooth and comfortable ride. The El Camino is equipped with a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front slotted and drilled rotors for enhanced stopping power. With its Malibu chassis, this El Camino offers a car-like ride that combines utility and comfort. It rolls on American Racing rims with Yokohama tires (215/50R17 on the front and 235/50R17 on the rear).
