A Chevrolet El Camino is much more than a pickup / coupé commercial vehicle. Have that special rebuilt specimens proven many times. The El Camino series was built between 1964 and 1987 and the older the vehicles get, the more popular and sought-after they are. This applies to modified vehicles as well as serial specimens for restoration. And the last generation (MK5) also had the most interesting engines under the hood and came on the market in popular equipment such as the Super Sport. And this particular El Camino dates from 1980 and unfortunately there is hardly any information about the changes. But the vehicle is off the air Almost N 'Loud known. A TV tuning show on the Discovery Channel and on DMAX. And even Aaron Kaufman is personally responsible for the special vehicle. Before leaving, he was the chief mechanic for the Gas Monkey Garage.

So the El Camino might even have sentimental value as it was one of Kaufman's last projects before he did Arclight Manufacturing founded. The vehicle is complete restauriert and rebuilt and has one under the hood LS3-V8. Since it was completed, it has only driven 1.600 km. That means that the over 600 hp 416ci Chevy LS3 V8 from Mast Motorsport hasn't even run in properly. And the Restomod classic is now being auctioned in Great Britain with no reserve price.
