Rare 1959 Chevrolet El Camino Barn Find in good, original, unrestored condition offered by Gas Monkey Garage showing 60,765 miles (unable to confirm so listed as 160,765). The El Camino was introduced for the 1959 model year, Harley Earl had suggested a coupe pickup way back in 1952. The El Camino was based on an existing and modified platform, the new-for-1959 Brookwood two-door station wagon, itself based on the completely redesigned, longer, lower and wider full-sized Chevrolet. This El Camino was built with the 283 ci V8 & 3 speed manual transmission. We found this very good example having been stored in a barn for many years. We brought it back to the Gas Monkey Garage, installed a new battery and some fresh gas. We started it up after all these years and went for a test drive, it runs and drives good (made me want to go to the farmers market for a load of pumpkins!) This truck had been used by a country Gentleman and was well cared for throughout the years. The exterior has been re-sprayed the original color at some time in the past and shows some scratches and dings from normal use (see all photos). All exterior trim, grills, bumpers and even the hub caps are present and in good usable condition. The interior is complete with all dash & trim components present ( even the original radio). We ordered new carpet & kick panels to start the restoration process but plans changed with our schedule (we get more cars the same way when someone gets a car for a project and their plans change!) so now you have this rare opportunity to acquire a solid, good running & driving 1959 El Camino that’s suitable for a Classic Museum quality restoration, Kick Ass Hot Rod project, Advertising and Promotional use or just drive it like it is until you decide! If you’re looking for the iconic 1959 El Camino in good running condition you won't find a better example that’s priced to sell! Clear title in hand. This truck will be seen on an upcoming episode of the hit show Fast N Loud and the winning bidder will have the option of taking delivery on the show or we can assist with shipping logistics. We sell internationally as well as locally and will end the Auction when it sells. If you have less than 5 feedbacks please send your contact info by “asking seller a question” BEFORE bidding.
