1977 Chevrolet El Camino Additional Info:

You are viewing a 1977 El Camino by Chevrolet. This car has the sought after 1973 Chevelle "Laguna" front grill assembly. This is a great looking El Camino.
A little history on the Laguna:The Chevelle Laguna was produced from 1973 to 1976. The cars were distinguishedby the frontnose. The 1973 and 1974 front ends are the same except for the parking lights. The 74 has square parking light while the 73 has the better looking parking lights. The 75 and 76 lagunashave the more slanted nose. Dale Earnhardt Jr., on an episodeof AmeriCarna on Velocity built "El Laguna" using a 76 Laguna nose. These front ends were not available on the El Camino so they had to be "borrowed" from the Chevelles. These Laguna noses were difficult to find 25 years ago.
This car was built by the owner of the hotrod upholsteryshop, Bon-a-rues. The shop was housed next door to Betz Speed and Color.. a favorite hangout for all the local hotrodders.
The car in basically a stock chassis under an original factory red 1977 El Camino. The car starts and runs but not well. The engine smokes so itneeds rebuilding. I did drive the car and the transmissionshifts properly although I would not. It has rally wheels, caps and rings. The spare is missing although the tire jack assembly is there.
The interior is factory original but the entire interior would need restoring. The original carpets were red but appear to be beige now. The seats and door panels are cloth and it didn't hold up during it's storage. The glass and rubber are in excellent condition.
The paint is good and would probably touch up and polish nicely. The body is extremely straight showing no rust issues. The car was always here is Southern California.
This car is presently under a "non-op" status. There is a clear California title.
