Underside photos reveal the fairly original chassis with the long tube headers visible along with a set of air shocks in the rear. Under hood shots show the attention to detail that was instilled in this car decades ago and reflected through the under hood mirrors. Interior pics reveal a nice, clean arrangement with a custom, period correct, 2-tone interior that shows well with a floor mounted Hurst shifter and a clean, solid, dash arrangement. He then installed mirrors on the underside of the hood to show off this work of art!Įxterior photos show an older respray in a custom metallic red color (originally, the car was 2 tone Red & White) that shows well enough with a few minor nicks & chips with a few small bubles behind The trim is mostly complete and in good condition with the rare “California” front bumper, there are minor nicks & dents in some of the trim as shown in the picks, mostly on the top of the bed rails ( see all 100+ pics ). Modified by the previous owner with custom paint and interior, American Racing wheels and a number of engine compartment improvements including a sweet 3X2 carb setup, long tube exhaust headers, Mallory Electronic Ignition and Chrome Air Horns to name a few. When I found this really cool 1st Gen El Camino “Show Car” in storage in the Desert Plains of Texas, I was excited! Stored for over 30 years, it was remarkably well preserved by the dry climate and limited exposure to the elements.Īfter bringing it back to the shop, we checked the fluids, hooked up a battery and an auxiliary fuel cell (the fuel tank had been removed and there appears to be a good, usable fuel tank included) and started it up for the first time in over 30 years! After adding brake fluid to the reservoir, the brake pedal showed signs of life and this El Camino moved under its own power for the first time in 3 Decades! And while this El Camino will run, it will need to be completely serviced and inspected as you would expect after more than 30 years of non-use before attempting to drive it for the first time to ensure safety and reliability ( due to our filming schedule, we cannot perform any additional work on the El Camino or build it for you). This means you can hit the Buy It Now button and own this sweet ride or take your chances and submit you best offer! 1959 Chevrolet El Camino Show Car fresh out of 30+ Years storage offered by Gas Monkey Garage with a Buy It Now price or best offer.
