The owner provides no informtion on how well the El Camino runs and drives, but as with so much to do with this vehicle, the engine bay does present nicely.
The tri-power setup remains in place, and while it isn’t clear what sort of power the engine now produces, I think that an answer somewhere along the lines of “plenty” would be a pretty fair estimate. It has been bored and stroked, and with a 427 crank, its capacity has been increased to 414ci. The owner says that the original transmission and rear end remain in place, but the 348 that rests under the hood is date-correct, but not original. With 315hp on tap when new, this allowed the El Camino to accelerate from 0-60 in approximately 7 seconds, while a sub-15 second ¼ mile was also pretty easy to achieve.

When it was new, this particular El Camino wasn’t all about practicality. To me, these late-1950s pickups such as the El Camino and the Ranchero have spectacular styling, and even though I admit to having a strong leaning towards the blue-oval products, I can’t help but really love the styling of the ’59 El Camino. The external chrome and trim look to be close to flawless, while the same would appear to be true of the glass. It would appear that nothing has found its way into the bed since the restoration, because there isn’t a scratch or mark to be seen anywhere. The panels are arrow-straight, while the paint continues to hold a nice shine. In the decade since this work was completed, the paint has shown no signs of any deterioration.
