The love transcends this anecdote, for the style is so unique for the year, mostly in the rear. Those horizontal cat eye fins designed by Bob Cadaret are the perfect blend of fierceness and elegance.
In any case, any ’59 Chev is a bucket list car for me. Unfortunately, this 1959 El Camino for sale may have already kicked the bucket. I am positive there are plenty of folks who would love to resurrect this coupe truck.
With about 22,000 sold in its debut year, ’59ers are growing rarer and rarer. While I am a fan of restorations for rare rides, I don’t see that being the case for this rusty ride. The seller notes it was an original six cylinder automatic, but the motor and tranny are long gone.Īside from the missing running gear, it does look to be fairly complete. The dash appears to be all there, minus the radio. The steering wheel isn’t original though.
#1959 EL CAMINO SEAT FULL#
Who can name the car it’s out of? Though its got most of its goods, a full restoration is definitely necessary. That seat has been gobbled up by mice and the door panels are hardly a shade of their former selves. Much of it seems to be a surface concern, but then we see the floor behind the seat is completely gone. Other notable areas surround the headlights, tailgate and rear quarters. Once you dive in don’t be surprised to find a few more problematic spots. Is it going to end up with an LS? Probably. Hell, clearcoat and go, right? That survivor look is all the rage, right? For $4,500 is this 1959 El Camino for sale the right starting point for your next build? Heck, once you get it moving you can even haul your own parts! And in this case, I’d say that’s the right move. Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly.

It does not store any personal data.Chevy 348 V-8 with 4 bbl carb. Sherm owned this El Camino 28 years and if I remember right his brother owned it before him. In 1994 Sherm paid around $10,000 and had the El Camino stripped and painted and it was not a great job. In 1998 the interior was restored and the upholstery looks good. Does not have the vent window cranks? From 1994 till now 520 miles. You will not believe how nice that 348 runs. While driving it I noticed that the steering has a tight spot in it. I found a little rust underneath the bed. Im think about selling it just like I found it. It will not be long before I do the service and safety check. I have the radio and some other trim things but not much. You do not find these much any more especially with a 348 that runs great. If youre interested make me a good offer or I will not sell it. Im really thinking about fixing it up and keeping it for a driver. Although the 19 El Camino had low sales, the combination design would come back soon. Youll like this, I thought I would see if the wipers work and yes they do, but I could not get them to shut off. Second generation (1964-1967): In their second attempt to compete with the Ford Ranchero, Chevy brought the El Camino back in 1964, this time using a Chevelle platform. This new generation had a more practical design than the first.
