Dealer notes

*** Vehicle located in NY - Zoom Classic Cars presents this American classic. This 1978 Chevrolet El Camino is a striking example of the first year of the fifth-generation redesign, offering a sharper, leaner look than its predecessors. Finished in a bold Fire Red with unique custom-painted pinstripe designs, this "gentleman’s pickup" perfectly balances vintage muscle attitude with daily-driver reliability. Vehicle Overview:• Mileage: 133,000 original miles.• Ownership: Current owner has enjoyed the vehicle for two years.• Location: Pearl River, NY.• Condition: Very good "daily driver" status with a clean undercarriage. Drivetrain & Performance:Under the hood, this El Camino features a classic small-block V8 paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. • Engine: 5.0L (305 ci) small block delivering a serious rumble through the exhaust.• Transmission: 3-speed automatic.• Performance: The engine is highly responsive, "soaring" when revved and providing plenty of power for modern traffic. Interior & Electronics:The cabin has been tastefully refreshed with a deep Burgundy interior that complements the Fire Red exterior. • New Components: Brand new seats and a stylish new steering wheel have been installed.• Gauges: All dashboard gauges function properly, a rarity for this era.• Audio: Upgraded JVC radio is installed (requires final wiring/connection).• Inclusions: The original factory steering wheel is included in the sale. Exterior & Wheels:• Wheels: Sitting on original factory rims wrapped in tires with excellent tread.• Paint: The Fire Red paint is accented by custom pinstriping.• Cosmetic Notes: As a daily driver, the paint shows its history with some imperfections visible in photos, including slight bubbling in spots and minor scrapes. Summary:While it has some honest cosmetic character, the solid undercarriage and refreshed interior make this a fantastic choice for someone who wants to drive their classic rather than trailer it. It’s a head-turner that sounds even better than it looks. Clean title in hand. Call Mike: 973-768-6426 Price does not include $0 processing fee
