From 1983-1987, Choo Choo Customs, in cooperation with GM, built the final generation of the El Camino SS. A true rarity 35 years later, the El Camino SS borrowed heavily from the '80s Monte Carlo SS aero package that saw use in NASCAR racing.
So it is a big hurrah to announce our first sighting of a final El Camino SS on RYNO.
This example from 1985 is touted for its patina, solid body and originality. The original SS decal package was removed.
Standard was a low-horsepower V-6. The 305ci V-8, like this example has, was a factory upgrade and claimed to be original to this vehicle.
There are no published records as to how many El Camino SS vehicles were made from 1983-1987.
If restoring a classic car from the 1970s has become too pricey for your budget, these 80s-era Chevys, especially ones with classic lineage like the El Camino SS, could make a great project for you.
