This is a beautiful custom 1987 El Camino. Unfortunately, I no longer have room for it in my garage, so I have to sell it.


The mileage listed is what currently reads on the odometer, but like all 1987 El Caminos, the odometer is only 5 digits and has "rolled over" back to zero after passing 99,999. The title to the vehicle indicates the fact that the odometer has exceeded its maximum threshold of 99,999. eBay lists this odometer notation as a "title problem", however any 1987 car with a 5-digit odometer is going to show this. The title is completely clear other than the notation regarding the 5-digit odometer.

There is no rust, and the paint is great. All of the chrome is also recently replaced. I've included close-up photos of the quarter panels to show the lack of any rust. 

Car has custom white powder-coated wheels and exhaust tips.

Interior was also redone with new carpet, new dash cover, new seat belts, and seats reupholstered in leather. The car has an in-dash head unit which has hard-drive navigation, Sirius satellite radio built-in, CD player, and hard drive for storing MP3s. It also has an alarm with keyless entry. A/C blows cold.

The car starts up, runs, and drives great.

The car was well-maintained and there are no glaring problems of which I'm aware. I need to sell only because I now have too many cars and therefore no longer have garage space for this El Camino. It's a shame to keep such a beautiful car outside, so I'd rather sell it to a good home that has space for it.

I've included lots of photos. In the bed photo, what you're seeing is a little bit of ice from a winter storm we recently had. Like I said, I ran out of garage space for this car recently, which is why I am selling.

It also has a spray-in bedliner which is color-matched to the paint job. This is pretty rare and looks cool.

When I was referring to all of the chrome being replaced recently, I was referring to the front and rear bumpers. The around the bed trim (which isn't actual chrome) is still all original, but is in good shape. The only part of the original bed trim that looked warn was the two rear corner pieces, and as a result I replaced both of those with fresh pieces about two years ago.

The only part of the original bed trim that looked warn when I bought the car was the two rear corner pieces, and as a result I replaced both of those with fresh pieces about two years ago. Now, with those two pieces replaced, all of the trim around the top of the bed looks great.


On Feb-04-13 at 05:09:23 PST, seller added the following information:

The car has factory electronic fuel injection.


The transmission is a 700R4.

The navigation/CD/satellite radio/hard drive head unit is a JVC KD-NX5000.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
