Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is pleased to introduce this 1978 Chevrolet El Camino. Out the gate you notice this El Camino has an aggressive look, fuel-injected V8 power, and an interior loaded with the right comforts. So when a package like this is also so affordable, it's a deal worth checking out.

You know this one is special from the moment it comes into view. The Silver and Purple two-tone paintwork has a vibrant unparalleled style. And you can tell they took their time with the full color theme in the details like the way the teal pinstripe separates behind the door to give you a Chevy bow tie strobe stripe. The custom style continues with details like the deleted badging and the later-style front clip. Plus, the cowl hood, dual exhaust tips, and Torq Thrust alloys with a larger rear set give this quite a sporty attitude. We can understand why there would be extra investments in customizing this El Camino. These final-gen cars/trucks were already distinct cruisers with details like the flying buttress B-pillar and a license plate that almost looks like Chevy frenched it into the tailgate at the factory. It's a sharp-looking classic that has an overall, driver-ready style. After all, the liner paint protecting the bed is there to remind you that an El Camino can also be a useful pickup.

The upgrades continue inside with a full Super Sport makeover. You have a driver-focused attitude with high-back bucket seats, a center console in-between, a sporty red-trimmed dash, an SS steering wheel on a tilt column, and a full round gauge package with tach. It's also built to be comfortable with power windows, power locks, an AM/FM/CD stereo, and provisions for factory air conditioning. It all makes for the kind of custom classic that you can just feel wants to hit the road.

Under the hood is an upgraded 350 cubic-inch V8. We love the C4 Corvette valve covers because it fits well with this era of this motor's throttle body fuel injection system. It makes for a powerhouse that fires up readily and makes a nice tune out of the dual exhaust. As a true cruiser you also have easy driving features such as a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide modern tires.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing.

No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.

When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.

Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.

To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.

With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
