The Chevrolet El Camino is a Coupé Utility vehicle, effectively a blending of a Pickup truck and a Saloon body, that was produced by Chevrolet between 1959–60 and 1964–1987. Introduced in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero, its first attempt, based on the Biscayne's B-body, lasted only two years. Production resumed for the 1964–1977 model years, based on the Chevelle platform, and continued for the 1978–1987 model years based on the GM G-body platform. Although based on corresponding General Motors car lines, the vehicle is classified in the United States as a Pickup. Chevrolet introduced a longer El Camino in 1968, based on the Chevelle station wagon/four-door sedan, it also shared Chevelle Malibu exterior and interior trims. A three-speed manual was standard with all engines, and a four-speed or automatic was optional.

First registered in the UK in April 2010 and declared manufactured in April of 1969, this El Camino Pickup is powered by a small block V8 engine, documented as a 5200cc engine. The vendor describes the engine as having performance modifications which include racing cylinder heads from Summit - mated to a transmission from a ‘350’. Other features include power brakes and power steering. The El Camino has also been the subject of customisation of the exterior. The American Racing ‘Torq Thrust’ – style alloy wheels really promote the ‘street custom’ style of this Chevy. A custom paint job in a Bright Green Metallic paint with Black racing stripes evokes the stripes offered on Chevrolet’s ‘muscle car’, the Chevelle SS model of 1969, all in-keeping with other modifications on this late ‘60s custom El Camino, from the ‘golden age’ of the American car. Offered with a V5C.
