1985 Chevy El Camino Super Sport real SS Z15 pkg

Chevrolet El Camino 1985 Description

PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION BELOW THOUROUGHLY!!I will do my best to describe the car in as much detail as possible, detailing what works and what doesn’t.This is a 32-year-old vehicle and is a driver, not a show car.It’s by no means perfect, but it is a good car that can be driven regular and be a driving project.Basically it’s a relatively sound car mechanically, with some cosmetic issues.
