This 1969 Chevrolet El Camino is finished in Garnet Red over a black interior and is powered by a replacement 396ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The seller acquired the car in 2011, and subsequent work has consisted of rebuilding the transmission, replacing the front bumper, and installing an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold, Hooker headers, front disc brakes, and KYB shocks. Additional equipment includes 14″ rally-style wheels, a positraction rear axle with a 3.08:1 gear ratio, power steering, chrome bumpers, and an aftermarket stereo.

The car is equipped with power steering, and work completed under current ownership has reportedly included installing front disc brakes and replacing the brake master cylinder, rear coil springs, and control arm bushings.

Additional gauges showing coolant temperature, vacuum, oil pressure, and amperage have been added. The analog clock does not work. The five-digit odometer indicates 98k miles.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed TH400 automatic transmission that was reportedly rebuilt under current ownership. A Thrush exhaust is fitted and exits forward of the rear axle.
