The El Camino was relatively popular in 1969, with more than 48,000 examples delivered. The 1969 El Camino you see here is one of those true-blue SS 396 pickups. A 327-cubic-inch (5.4-liter) Turbo-Fire version with 300 horsepower was introduced as early as 1965, while 1966 brought the 396-cubic-inch (6.5-liter) big-block V8 with 325, 350, or 375 horses, depending on model year. It's also a rare gem, with only around 500 units produced.īut the SS 454 LS6 wasn't the only beefed-up El Camino available through the years. Rated at a whopping 450 horsepower and 500 pound-feet (678 Nm) of torque, it turned the pickup into a 13-second car down the quarter-mile. The 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) LS6 V8 of 1970 is obviously the most iconic and desirable. Much like the Chevelle of the era, the El Camino was part of the muscle car wars and rolled off the assembly line with a few notable performance options. Mileage displayed may not be actual mileage due to exemptions.The El Camino soldiered on until 1987 as a version of the Chevelle or Malibu, but it's the 1964-to-1972 models that are sought-after these days.

Only 861 were made for the 1987 model year, which would also happen to be the final year for the El Camino (aside from a few stragglers that would be 1988s officially), making this an extremely rare find. Chevrolet would send out a number of partially finished El Caminos and Choo Choo Customs would transform them into the ultimate 80's sport utility pickup, complete with Super Sport graphics and a Monte Carlo SS front fascia conversion. The Choo Choo Customs El Camino SS is an order straight from Chevrolet. They would take on jobs from individuals as well as dealers, and even manufacturers. You may be asking: “What's Choo Choo Customs?” Choo Choo Customs was one of the very successful conversion companies from the 1980's, much like ASC (American Sunroof Company) and Centurion.
