Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

348 250hp 4 barrel with Tri Power added, 4 speed, P S, P B, heater, pushbutton radio, skirts, dual outside mirrors, spinner wheel covers, whitewalls. Restored like new. Sills and door bottoms filled, but well. Good paint, chrome, upholstery, underhood and chassis. Coolant outlet has leaked and is covered in residue crystals. Engine is a little oily from use but could be detailed back to nearly showroom condition.

Market commentary

It is hard to imagine a much better El Camino than this, with its flying saucer roof and seagull fins not to mention the thumping great truck motor under the hood. Purists might scoff at the Tri Power intake, until they open the hood and are captivated by the sight, or dusted at a stoplight. It is one of the few bargains at the Salmon brothers collection sale.
