1983 El Camino CUSTOM   A NEW CAR FROM BUMPER TO BUMPER


We have taken out all the stops, to make this build ride as smooth as a new Camaro.. A true full on frame restoration.


You’ll first notice the chameleon orange paint that changes slightly as you move around the car in sunlight or evening show time/cruise inn lighting. Google estimate for Chameleon Paint $12,000!


With safety in mind the entire front end was upgraded/replaced, sway bar, ball joints, idler arm, struts, rear drums, front disc brakes.


Black 17X8 rims holding 4 fresh tires. All chrome trim power coated black. Roll pan front and back bumpers with round (corvette style) brake lighting.


BLUEPRINT 350 cid = 357hp from Summit Racing.

4-bolt main, with a 30 month/50,000 mile warranty. The Engine is fully dressed with orange wire looms, tuned headers leading to a dual exhaust giving that chevy rumble denoting that cammed power you can expect from a Blueprinted crate. The automatic is a 700r4 upgraded by Rick’s Transmission. You’ll get great mileage thanks to the stock 2.50 rear ratio.


Open the door with the keyless entry to the newly upholstered interior, with full leather ELECTRIC 6 WAY bucket seats, fresh custom door panels, carpeting, and headliner that are all nicely coordinated and smell of a new car. No cracks in this dash. Just newly upholstered leather topping a fully DAKOTA DIGITAL dash. Added creature comforts of power windows, power locks, an AM/FM/CD stereo, and a VINTAGE A/C unit giving you ice-cold R134a air conditioning. GRANT tilt steering wheel.


The Dymo sheet from Summit is included in the paperwork, along with all the documents verifying every step in this 2 ½ year build..
