Fully Restored 1969 Chevrolet El Camino Commands New Ford Mustang GT Money

Are you still sad that you can no longer buy a brand new ute? What if we told you that you still can? After all, the Chevrolet El Camino pictured has been restored, boasts a host of creature comforts, and is presented in near-new condition.

You're looking at a 1969 model, which puts it in the third generation. This was related to the Chevelle and GMC Sprint of the time. It was assembled in Missouri, Maryland, and a couple of plants in California (Fremont and Van Nuys), and for what it's worth, we (OK, I) think it's the best-looking iteration of this iconic model.

Chevy offered the third-generation El Camino with multiple powertrains. Most were V8s, but a couple of straight-six units were also available. This one uses a 383 stroker from Tri Star Engines and Transmissions, and is paired with an automatic transmission. The seller mentions a 2400 torque converter, B&M shifter, and a blistering output for such a ride: 430 horsepower and 460 lb-ft (624 Nm) of torque.

This Chevrolet El Camino was completely restored in 2009 and hasn't been driven much since. At the time of writing, it has just under 9,000 miles on it, so it's a brand new car. It mixes black for the upper body parts with orange for the lower parts and features multiple chrome trims. It rides on classic polished wheels and the interior is dark gray. The A/C is on deck and this is an audiophile's car, as it has a serious sound system.

Apparently, this old car doesn't need any work in the immediate future, so its next owner just needs to complete the transaction and put some gas in the tank before they can enjoy it on the open road. It's the kind of car that would turn a lot of heads, and we hope the person who buys it drives it constantly and doesn't just keep it in the garage waiting for a quick buck.

You can access the online listing at Garage Kept Motors here and see it from multiple angles. However, before we do that, we need to tell you how much this 1969 Chevrolet El Camino costs: $49,900. So, it’s quite expensive and costs as much as a brand new Ford Mustang GT S650. The latter has an MSRP of $45,460 for the 2025 model year, and the GT Premium Convertible costs about $10,000 more.

However, despite the high asking price, we believe this vehicle should have no problem changing hands for the asking price. The only thing it needs is for the right person to stumble upon the ad. So, are you that person?
