This 1969 Chevy El Camino is a professionally done mild custom treated to a frame-off restoration with ton of new parts. Not only does this Chevy look awesome but she drives the part as well.
In a truly thorough restoration, the body should be removed from the frame in order to gain access to all areas of the car. This El Camino was disassembled to a bare shell and the body of the Chevy was removed from the frame and was media blasted down to nice clean bare metal. A nice new bed was fitted as were real quarters and the body was reassembled and worked back to its current state. After lots of blocking and sanding, it was time for a nice two stage paint job which was followed by more finish work. All of the trim, chrome, glass, and rubber is brand new and cosmetically, the Chevy stands tall.
Before the body was dropped back on the frame, the frame was completely refinished and then fitted out with all new suspension and brake components. There are 3-way adjustable Competition Engineering shocks on all 4 corners, new springs, and tubular control arms. The steering column has been rebuilt and the steering gear box is a tight new 605 unit. A polished master cylinder pushes fluid to an upgraded front disc/rear drum set up that has good feel a stopping power.
The motor is a 468 CI with all new internals, electronic ignition, an 850 CFM carb, Edelbrock Performer intake, Keith Black pistons, "Howard’s Cams" cam shaft, March pulleys, Holley fuel pump and Hooker headers. Cooling the motor is a 4-core aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. The motor is a runner and the rebuilt Turbo 400 with a reverse valve body and mild shift kit give it nice action. Holding the show together in the rear is a freshly built 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 Auburn gears. The Chevrolet is ready to lay down rubber at will, but makes for a great cruiser as well.
Whether you are looking for a super clean show car, or a mean cruiser for the streets, this car has it all and is ready to roll.
