1985 Chevrolet El Camino

The El Camino has always lived in that sweet spot between muscle car attitude and pickup practicality, and by 1985 Chevrolet had the formula dialed in. Built on the G-body platform shared with the Malibu and Monte Carlo, these late-model El Caminos have become increasingly desirable thanks to their clean lines, balanced proportions, and shrinking numbers on the road today. Survivors and well-sorted examples like this one are getting harder to come by, especially with the right mix of performance upgrades and classic style. Under the hood sits a healthy 350ci V8 that brings the kind of torque and sound that made small block Chevys legendary.
