1985 Chevy El Camino Super Sport real SS Z15 pkg

1985 Chevrolet El Camino Super Sport Additional Info:

PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION BELOW THOUROUGHLY!! I will do my best to describe the car in as much detail as possible, detailing what works and what doesn’t. This is a 32-year-old vehicle and is a driver, not a show car. It’s by no means perfect, but it is a good car that can be driven regular and be a driving project. Basically it’s a relatively sound car mechanically, with some cosmetic issues.

Basics

• 1985 El Camino SS (true SS with Z15 package, as verified by a copy of the dealer invoice (included; costs $50 from GM heritage center)

• Original CA car from S&J Chevrolet in Cerritos, only recently relocated to TX

Mechanical

• 305 V8 with 4 bbl carb

• 3 speed automatic

• 45K on odometer; Carfax looks like it’s rolled over, so assume 145K

• Car runs good. It has served as a weekend driver and even daily driver for some periods of time without any major issues. Never failed to start or stalled on me in the 3 yrs or so I’ve owned it.

• New working A/C. All A/C components replaced (compressor, condenser, etc) and switched to R134A.

• All accessories work: Power windows, power door locks, wipers, stereo

  • Window washer doesn’t work

• Brakes and steering function properly

• Not perfect though

  • Idle seems high

  • Occasionally, check engine light comes on when starting if its sat for a few days. Goes off after about 5 minutes

  • Rarely, it runs after shutting off for about 10 seconds

  • Slight oil leak, appears to be from main seal.

Interior

• Restored at some point in the past

  • Newer black carpet

  • Reupholstered seats

  • Door panels and dash recovered in black vinyl

  • Newer headliner

  • Newer plastic trim in black

• I’ve added:

  • New seat belts

  • New door sills

  • New window and door lock switches

  • Monte Carlo SS steering wheel and dash trim

• Gauges work

  • Except temp gauge

  • Has aftermarket temp gauge below dash

• Dash lights work, replaced with LED bulbs

• Interior light works, replaced with LED bulb

• Issues to be aware of:

  • Horn, but has aftermarket wireless horn

  • Passenger door vinyl pulling away from door panel

  • Windows are loose and don’t seat right in the channel all the time. Need to pull off the door panel and adjust.

  • Tear on side of driver’s seat

  • Defroster button on dash is not connected. El Camino does not have a rear window defroster.

  • Purple-ish tint on quarter windows is peeling

Body

• This is where the most issues are. There are LOTS of small dents, dings, scratches and peeling paint. The car had a cheap repaint at some point in its life. There is what appears to be a small crack in the header panel. The headlight bezels and grille have peeling paint.
