1984 Chevy El Camino: V8, Auto, A/C, Power Windows & Locks, Completely Original,

Description

1984 Chevy El Camino: The Chevrolet El Camino was GM’s response to the success of the 1957 Ford Ranchero. The idea of a car-based light duty pickup or coupe utility had been played around with prior to World War II but it seemed to have been forgotten until the 1950s when the success of the “gentleman” pickups like the Chevy Cameo indicated that the market was ready for an even more car-like pickup truck. By this fifth generations introduction in...1978, the big block options were long gone. The most powerful engine available was a 350-c.i. V-8 that made 170 hp. The base engine was a V-6 that started at 200 cubic inches and was later enlarged to 229 – a welcome change as the 200 made only 95 hp whereas the larger 229 made 115 hp. A 267-c.i. and 305-c.i. V-8 came and went in the mix as well with the 267 making more torque but little more power than the V-6. Both three-speed and four-speed floor-shift manual transmissions were available. Fifth generation El Caminos are an inexpensive way to buy a collectible that is both practical and a certain attention-getter.This classic El Camino just came into our inventory and is one impressive G-body. This Chevy sold new in Denton, TX and has never left the state over the last 35 years and 3 owners. Even more impressive are the 71k miles showing on the odometer and the folder of service receipts that back them up. Although the utilitarian aspect of having a car that can haul a load in appealed to most, some still preferred to purchase an El Camino with some “sporty-ness” to it. The rally wheels definitely offer a sporty look to the interior and the factory tachometer and bucket seats do the same for the interior. This El Camino drives great and everything works like it should. It did have a slow a/c leak so we recently installed a brand new compressor, evaporator, and dryer to ensure it blows cold for years to come. A complete list of options includes; Original V8 Engine, Auto, Power Steering & Brakes, A/C, Power Windows & Locks, Factory Tach, Bucket Seats, AM/FM/CD Stereo, Center Console Storage, Cruise Control, Cloth Floormats, Tilt Steering, Tinted Glass, Chrome Bumpers, Chrome Bed Rails, Rubber Bedmat, Full Spare, 14? Factory Rally Wheels, and Thick Douglas 205/75/R14 Tires! If you are looking for a rust free, low mileage, well documented, and strong running El Camino we think you will be impressed with this classic Chevy.
