The 1964 El Camino was offered as standard with a 194ci (3.2-liter) six-cylinder engine with an output of just 120 horsepower, but at the same time, Chevrolet also offered several other more potent options, including another six-cylinder unit, this time the 230 (3.8-liter), with 155 horsepower.
The original 1964 lineup also included two separate 283 (4.6-liter) V8 engines (2-barrel with 195 horsepower and 4-barrel with 220 horsepower), but the V8 offering was eventually expanded with the addition of a 327 (5.4-liter) developing 250 horsepower.
The El Camino that we have here is as mysterious as it gets when it comes to the engine under the hood, as it’s now said to be flaunting a 350 (5.7-liter) unit paired with a 4-speed transmission.
Of course, this isn’t the original unit that came with the car back in 1964 when the GM brand built it, as the Craigslist seller says a previous owner repainted the car and eventually replaced the original unit with a 350.
The Chevy has spent plenty of time sitting in a barn, as the same owner who did the engine swap eventually parked it in storage at some point during the ‘80s.
The El Camino got a second chance when the current owner pulled it from storage, got it up and running, fixed some key parts, but then decided to park it in a barn for the second time.
Needless to say, this El Camino doesn’t come in its best shape, and there’s obviously the typical amount of rust, though, at the first glance, it looks like a worthy candidate for a restomod, which right now seems to be the most convenient way to go given the original engine is no longer there.
Parked in San Francisco, this El Camino with 150,000 miles (241,500 km) on the clock can be yours for $7,500. It’s said to come with a clean title.
