Chevrolet El Camino 1977 Description

1977 Chevrolet El Camino SS Restored Performance Modified. Located in Wabasha MN. $12500. With thousands of dollars in receipts on this modified SS as well as it's known history this vintage Chevy complete with original build sheet has everything an El Camino could have to offer. A 1977 true SS this ride has been beautifully restored & performance modified over several years in the late 1990's. The history of the truck is this: Paul the current owner of the truck sold this new to a fellow named Pat at Yarolimek Motors when Paul was a salesman there back in September of 1976. Pat had traded in a 1975 El Camino. A few years later the dealership became Paul Busch Auto Center. Paul a personal friend of Pat's bought the vehicle back after Pat's passing in the early 2000's. The vehicle has been in Wabasha MN its entire life. In the mid 1990's Pat began a very extensive restoration/modification process. We have lots of paperwork for it documenting the truck at each stage of its life such as the build sheet inspection sheet invoice manual & a huge stack totaling thousands of dollars in receipts. Way too much to list some of the many many upgrades include a new GM crate 300 HP 350 CID engine. The new engine was ordered in or around '96 by Al the same guy who signed the inspection sheet back in '76 amazing he still works there today and remembers the '77 and is just another nice piece of history for the SS. Virtually every component in the engine bay and underneath this ride is new or rebuilt. We believe the truck had around 100000 miles on it at the time of the restoration. The custom Auto Meter gauges reveal the current odometer reading of 5940 miles. It has all brand new front suspension. New control arms and bushings. Gabriel HiJackers air adjustable on the rear. Has lots of chrome under the hood. Has braided lines throughout and underneath. Has stall converter. Has headers with flowmaster exhaust that sounds perfect. Has a rebuilt for high performance 3:08 rear-end with posi done professionally by Corvette specialists. All brand new brake system. Original wheels with Goodyear Eagle ST tires that are moderate. Bucket seats seat belts and carpet are from a 1992 Chevy shortbox pickup in excellent condition. That pickup was also Pat's. It was lowered and performance modified. He hit a deer and totaled the '92. He bought it back from the insurance company for the parts. It was a show-truck in it's own right and he wanted a part of that truck to go toward this new build he was about to take on. Pat was a gear-head and hotrod guy through and through. His heart and passion shows in his work. The El Camino has a B & M shift kit. Aftermarket power windows. The power door lock system is new in the box and not installed. Dash is painted grey and has a Pioneer cassette player with Blaupunkt speakers. The cubby hole behind the seat was not integrated into the new interior but does come with the vehicle.
