Never mind the auction clock is running out of time quickly, as what matters more is that this El Camino currently resides in the United Kingdom. The ride is now offered with a low reserve, but there’s an important caveat. That means the 600+ horsepower 416ci Chevrolet LS3 V8 from Mast Motorsport didn’t have many chances to flex its muscles out on the road. Just like any El Camino should, it presents itself in a rather impeccable condition because it has reportedly covered approximately 1,000 miles (1,600 km) since the work has completed.
Before the restoration and modifications, this was a one-owner-from-new, rust-free car that was stripped down and rebuilt to the current menacing looks and LS3 performance level. Better yet, the spectacular touches were the work of Aaron Kaufman, who was still the lead mechanic for the Gas Monkey Garage back then.Īpparently, this El Camino could even hold sentimental value as it’s one of Kaufman's final projects before he went solo and founded Arclight Fabrication. The thing is the modifications weren’t executed while hidden from the world no, this example allegedly featured in a couple of episodes from the renown Fast N' Loud TV show on Discovery Channel. This SS nose conversion includes headlight bezels and turn signals. The El Camino Store offers this unique, Super Sport nose conversion, for your custom project.
#1980 el camino ss upgrade
This particular 1980 El Camino was born more than four decades ago, so it’s only natural to see it go through several caring updates. The 1978-1987 El Camino is a great platform for a custom upgrade and stands out from the crowd. Yet, it easily makes just about any other car standing next to it a decidedly conventional apparition.īefore its dismissal, the fifth-generation El Camino arrived on the market sporting interesting engine choices under the hood (dear Lord, please let us forget the 350ci diesel) and in beloved trims, such as the Super Sport.
Entrusted to the loving care of automotive enthusiasts between 19, the El Camino series is a truly masterful fusion of automotive segments that barely have anything in common.
