Disclosures: "Air Conditioning blows cool only, not cold, may need a charge but not sure. Cruise control does not work. Drivers seat is stuck way back and is presently more suited for a taller person the way it is. I am 5'8" and it is a bit of a stretch for me, but not too bad. We are going to look into that and possibly have it resolved soon. Drivers seat side has the small hole shown in pic. The drivers and passengers side seatbelts work as they should. The 42 year old Original Clock still works but sticks occasionally until you touch the handle then it starts running again. The topper shocks are weak and will not hold it up by themselves, but the lid has a custom bar to hold it open, see pics." "Additionally, this is a 42 year old vehicle and though we try to accurately describe everything, there may be small details that we missed in our description. So if there is something specific you want to know, ask questions before purchasing." "Vehicle is sold in "as is, as shown" condition with no warrantees implied whatsoever."Note: "We currently have $40000. in classic car insurance on the car as we do drive it locally on some nice days and will until sold, so the miles may go up a little. It is also available locally and auction could end at any time should it sell here locally during the auction." "Successful buyer needs a $300 immediate down-payment via PayPal and balance must be paid in full within 1 week of purchase.""We accept cash in person, (bank to bank wire; The Safest Option"), and/or Major Credit Cards as partial or full payment. Note: (There is a 3% fee that is added to Credit Card Purchases that we personally process, this is the actual fee that we are charged.)""You may leave the vehicle in our care up to 3 weeks free of charge so you can arrange shipment or pickup, but the vehicle still must be paid in full within 1 week of purchase, no exceptions please. We can help you with shipping arrangements if needed.""This vehicle is being offered worldwide.""Thanks kindly for looking."History of the Fifth Generation El Camino (1978) The 1978 El Camino was produced in four trim levels: Classic, Black Knight (1978)/Royal Knight The optional 305 cubic-inch small block V8 was rated at 150 or 165 hp (112 or 123 kW), A new, El Camino was unveiled in 1978, adopting the new, more sharp-edged Malibu styling, and a one-inch longer wheelbase of 117 in (2,972 mm). The front end sheet metal and doors were shared with the Malibu, and the rear tailgate and bumper was shared with the Malibu station wagon. For the first time, though, the El Camino had a unique chassis – it was shared with no other Chevrolet. The front end featured a new single rectangular headlight design. The base engine was a 200-cubic-inch (3.3-liter) V6 that developed 95 hp (71 kW), except in California where, to meet emissions standards, the 231-cubic-inch Buick engine was the base engine. Two upgrades could be ordered: a 305-cubic-inch V8 with 145 hp (108 kW), or a 350-cubic-inch V8 with 170 hp (127 kW) that was only available in El Caminos and Malibu station wagons. It was not available on Malibu passenger cars (with exception to coupe and sedan Malibu 9C1 police vehicles). Among GM makes, at least, the era of bigness was fading into history, overtaken by a new age of efficiency and economy.
