Description
We are delighted to present an exceptional example of the 1987 El Camino SS Choo Choo Edition, a vehicle that stands out both for its rarity and pristine condition. This model, one of approximately 2,200 units converted in Tennessee between 1983 and 1987, remains a highly sought-after collector’s item. It is distinguished by its distinctive Choo Choo conversion decal, still prominently displayed in the driver's door jamb. With just one family ownership and a mere 76,455 miles on the odometer, this El Camino showcases outstanding originality and care.
Exterior Details
The exterior of this El Camino is finished in a brilliant factory white, which has been meticulously maintained to retain its exceptional condition. The paintwork is virtually flawless, exhibiting no visible rust or imperfections. The distinctive Choo Choo edition features unique front bumper, trim, and decals that set it apart from standard models. Both front and rear bumpers are in excellent condition, contributing to the truck's overall pristine appearance. The tires, size 215/70/14, have ample tread and are paired with original wheels that are free from curb damage. The rear cargo area and spare tire storage are both well-preserved, with the original spare tire still in place. The tailgate functions flawlessly and remains rust-free, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.
Interior Highlights
Inside, the El Camino boasts a classic blue cloth interior, which is largely original and in superb condition. The factory seat covers remain intact with no significant wear or damage. The original carpeting is well-maintained, free of major stains, rips, or holes. The dashboard is in pristine condition, without cracks or fading, and the gauges are clear and functional. An upgraded RetroSound Bluetooth digital stereo has been seamlessly integrated without altering the original dash, enhancing the driving experience while preserving the vehicle's classic look.
The interior also features original door panels in excellent condition, complete with intact door pulls. The headliner is like new, and a period-correct sunroof adds both style and functionality. All gauges are operational, though it is noted that the tachometer reads higher than actual. All other components, including the horn, stereo, wipers, power windows, and blower motor, function correctly. The factory air conditioning system is operational, blowing cold air, while the heater also performs well.
Mechanical Excellence
Mechanically, this El Camino is in outstanding condition, bolstered by a performance-enhancing 383 stroker engine. The engine bay is meticulously detailed, featuring upgrades such as a polished intake manifold, ceramic-coated headers, braided lines, and an aluminum radiator with electric fans. The vehicle has been driven extensively, demonstrating a smooth and reliable performance without overheating. The ride is tight, and the driving experience is exceptionally enjoyable, free from rattles or excessive noise.
The braking system functions optimally, providing smooth stops without pulling. The engine, adorned with true dual exhausts and Dynomax mufflers, produces a pleasing rumble at idle and cruising speeds. Recent upgrades include new air shocks and a new starter, further enhancing the vehicle's reliability. The El Camino's overall condition and performance reflect the meticulous care of its previous owner, a testament to their dedication to preserving this special vehicle.
This 1987 El Camino SS Choo Choo Edition is not just a classic car; it is a showcase piece ready for any car show or cruise event. Its condition and performance affirm the exceptional care it has received and make it a standout choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
