1987 el camino ss
1987 Chevrolet El Camino SS Description:
1987 El Camino SS 48,6xx milesThis is a nice old el camino that runs and drives strong. Looks great for a 31 yr old car. They're getting snatched up, examples like this don't come along everyday.
Drivetrain:
Completely rebuilt original 305 motor (just drained the 500 mile oil).
200r transmisson shifts great. Fresh trans-fluid flush and filter, has a small leak around the speed sensor, and linkage needs new bushing - neither is annoying enough to fix right now.
Brand new edelbrock carb
edelbrock performer intake
crane 1.52 :1 roller rocker arms
new water pump
Hooker full length headers
Pypes 2.5' inch dual exhaust with x pipe crossover
dual exhaust Crossmember
All Aluminum Radiator
160 deg thermostat
Airbag helper suspension
Newer KYB shocks Front and Rear.
Newer brakes
268 grind cam -
Stainless steel water hoses and billet aluminum adjustable billet thermostat housing
New MSD type HEI distributor with remote blaster coil
Issues:
There's a bit of a rpm drop when putting into gear - I suspect the converter, otherwise drives great
The new carb could use some refined tweaking-- runs great but I'd want to use a sniffer to be sure it's perfect.
The oil pressure gauge sender has developed a slight leak
The o-ring around the sensor in the transmission (speed sensor?) has a slight leak.
AC is complete but not charged, I was going to convert it to use the newer stuff.
Exterior:
No rust,overall really straight, good looking elky. 1987 was last year for them in production
a few slight dings along the side of the body, otherwise pretty straight for being 31 years old.
Has new 15" 60's profile tires and corvette 8" rallye (rally) rims - the front passenger side center cap and trim ring are gone - got swiped at the HD
The previous owner must've towed it behind an RV, as it has a driveshaft disconnect cable by the rdiver seat that will disconnect the driveshaft from the rear end via a coupler.
In addition to the class III hitch in the back, he also welded two 2" receivers in the front - at the cost of the front valence.
The bumpers have a bit of a lean for some reason - I think to fit the hitch.
There's a golf ball sized ding in the driver end cap
A tiny bit of clear coat peel on the front of the hood
Bed is scratched up but not rusted or badly dented.
Windshield is cracked but passed inspection in May
Interior:
Carpet has stains but intact overall - still has the curtain in the rear and what looks to be the original spare.
Some stains and couple small burn holes in the seats. Driver seat side has a small rip
Dash console has one small tear above the gauge pod area
Alpine tape deck -great for relivin' 1992
Needs a headliner.
Gauges all work and console is overall great shape
the plastic surrounding the Parking brake release has cracked and you have to hold it to pull
Great car - but it's a long running project and it's time to get rid of it.
We may be interested in a PARTIAL trade for a nice running recent model pickup.
Preferably along the lines of a long bed taco or nice z71 (no ford, sorry) AND no more than 5k max on trade .
