This may be the most beautiful 1959 El Camino in existence.


Yes, this may be the most beautiful 1959 El Camino in existence. According to the owner this car was painstakingly restored over a period of 5 years, virtually nothing was overlooked. The paint, Porsche Guards Red, is as perfect as the body. The seat is a brand new Glide Engineering frame widened by 4 inches to fit this wide bodied muscle car. All interior spaces were insulated with modern materials and the headliner is backed with solid foam insulation. The power amp and CD changer are mounted behind the seat. The headliner incorporates a GMC console from a 2005 Denali Pick up and has dome lights. The steering column is from Iditit and features a column shifter with Lokar shift control cable. All glass is new and has OEM style power windows.Carpeting is expensive German "berber" style weave, trimmed in matching vinyl.

The Chassis was completely rebuilt. The engine is a .030 over 454 with dual 4 Barrel Carbs. Mallory distributor and ignition system. Early 700R4 custom built transmission. Front brakes are disc, drum rear.
