Vehicle Detail
For Sale 1983 Chevrolet El Camino Diesel, YES a genuine Factory Diesel! Very Rare, less than 700 of these were ever made, even less survived as the original 5.7 350 converted Olds Engines were just awful. This one has the later DX replacement motor which is much more reliable. This El Camino was my daily driver before being parked for electrical problems. The electrical system needs to be replaced, an entire rebuilt harness would cost about $400, not including labor and ignition modification for the diesel. I believe this vehicle would start and run just fine, if the electrical problems were corrected.The body is pretty straight with some surface rust, but as far as I can tell no cancer type rust or salt erosion as this is a California Car, there is a dent on the Rear Driverside Panel, and some Blue paint as I was going to have the vehicle body fixed and prepared to paint. The front windshield is cracked and should be replaced. The Automatic Transmission is stock and ran fine, but needed to shift in to neutral on the fly to shift into the higher gear.I Recommend this vehicle to under go a COMPLETE RESTORATION as the interior including the dash board, seats and carpet, side windows and rubber moldings all need attention. I've owned the vehicle for about 10 Years, got it in running condition and drove it about 3 years before the electrical problems. The tires were just replaced before it stopped running and are in very good condition.Please be advised This Chevrolet El Camino is being sold in "AS IS" condition, with NO Warranty as to Vehicle's performance, driveability or condition. CHECK THE PICTURES Carefully! Feel Free to Ask Questions. Check Deposit and Payment Requirements BEFORE Bidding My research has indicated that production of the Chevy El Camino stopped with the last ones built in 1988 and these mid-80s vehicles are becoming very, very collectable and these factory Diesel El Caminos are very rare. How many have You ever seen in person? Shop Manuals are Included!!Winning Buyer will assume total responsibility for Picking Up or arranging for transporting and delivery of the vehicle.
