Up for auction is my father's rare 1959 Chevrolet El Camino. First year for the El Camino and unique styling for this year. Way nicer than the 1960 and later models. These do not come up for sale very often. This car was done about 20 years ago. Not a frame off or expensive restoration. Was built to be driven not parked in a garage all its life. Was given fresh paint and a decent interior. This car is NOT a show car, just a daily driver. But from what I have seen for sale for this year El Camino, it is very nice. 90% of the trim is original to the car, only replaced what was missing. I included pictures of some of the nicks and scratches that are on the car. Some bubbling on the rocker panels, and some rust underneath the car. Overall good paint, shows very nice. He had a fiberglass tonneau cover built for it, but can be removed easily. The skirts are not original to the car, so the fit can be a littler better, but still looks cool. Interior is in good shape, nothing fancy, again, this was done 20 years ago. Replaced the rear sway bar, fuel pump and tires. 4 new Hankook tires with about 60 miles on them. Starter may need to be replaced soon, but I am not replacing, I do not want to put any more money into the car, I want to stay married. Small Block 350 motor, runs strong. My father drove the car on Sundays, so it shouldn't have too many miles on it. Edelbrock Performer intake, and Edelbrock 650 carb. Turbo 350 transmission. As far as we know, the car has never been in an accident. Pretty straight car. My dad bought the car in Texas and was there(El Paso) for the last 20 some years, so we are assuming it has always been a desert car. I have posession of the car now, in Phoenix AZ. All in all this a great looking car that needs a little more TLC. Great as is, or can be restored to be a great show piece. Buyer is responible for shipping, I will be willing to drive the car to a local shipper here in Phoenix and surrounding areas.
