1981 Chevrolet El Camino

1981 Chevrolet El Camino – Grandpa’s Hot Rod | 350 HP V8 | Manual | Clean Title

This 1981 El Camino has a unique story and plenty of attitude. Originally owned by my uncle, I’ve had it for the past 10 years. I wanted a “Grandpa’s Hot Rod,” and that’s exactly what my trusted mechanic built for me.

Key Details:

• Engine: 350 HP V8 (from a ~2000 Camaro)

• Transmission: Manual with Pro-Matic floor shifter

• Odometer: Shows 60,000 (broken, mileage unknown)

• Clean title

• Drive: Rear-wheel drive

• Color: Blue (original paint)

• Condition: Fair overall, runs strong

Performance Features:

• Harley 4-barrel carb

• Camel back manifold

• Edelbrock air cleaner

• Dual exhaust – sounds great

• Cragar mag wheels for that classic muscle look

Notes:

• Runs and drives great — a true sleeper

• Interior and paint are original and show wear

• Very minimal rust for its age

• Not a show car, but a solid, fun driver with real muscle

If you’re looking for a cool project with a great-running engine and a vintage street rod feel, this El Camino is it. Clean title in hand.
