Have my freshly refurished 1986 El Camino Conquista up for sale. Several pages of pictures of the building of this car can be seen at:

Here are some of the particulars:
Shaved the side trim and removed the bumpers. Fiberglass front tucked bumper and fiberglass rear roll pan with stock tail lights and recessed fold down license plate holder with custom hidden receiver hitch behind.
Black Line-X professionally sprayed in bed liner.
2 month old paint: PPG base coat/clear coat paint, COLOR: 2000 Chrysler Champagne (light gold)
Aluminum head GM crate motor, 350ci. COMPETITION CAM roller rockers, STREET & PERFORMANCE built '85 Corvette TPI unit, S&P wiring harness ('93) IROC TPI computer ('92) with mild chip. New TPI tubes, polished fuel regulator, filter, fittings, and stainless bolt kit, chromed plug wire separtors, K&N filter, full length HOOKER headers with FLOWMASTERS, ROCK VALLEY stainles steel tank with fuel pump inside, complete MSD ignition, MARCH polished aluminum accessory brackets, polished aluminum pulleys, polished SANDEN air conditioner compressor (r134) much more. Solid 325+ HP 400ft lbs torque, all at 16mpg city 19mpg hiway. approx 75K miles.
'94 Z-28 4L60E automatic overdrive transmission with G-FORCE mount. 3:42 gear AUBURN posi-trac differential.
HOTCHKIS PERFORMANCE suspension: tubular upper control ars and rear trailing arms, ply urethane bushings, heat shields, 12" conversion front disc brake assembly, ENERGY SUSPENSION sway bars, KYB shocks AIR LIFT rear spring/airbag system, EIBACH 2" lowering springs, 16X7 AMERICAN RACING wheels and NITTO tires.
Stock tan interior with 60/40 split bench seat, new head liner, dash, visors, window felts. Power steering (performance steering box) power windows, locks, brakes, tilt wheel with GRANT wooden wheel.
While not perfect, this car is very nice and can be driven anywhere at anytime. I bought this car some time ago with the mechanics already done. I can not take credit for the excellent choice of parts and the outstanding job of assembly that was done by the previous owner. It all looks and works like the factory SHOULD have done it. It is NOT A HOT ROD by any means, but a very dependable, reasonably economical vehicle that has been built to drive every day without problems, and look good doing it.
Tires are about 50% or better, with most of the wear being on the outside of the front tires. Even though all the wheels are the same size, the front and rear tires are different sizes. This negates any rotating that should be done to keep this from happening to the front tires.
The front carpet could stand to be replaced (about $150 cost) due to some wear in a couple of places. While the seats are not torn, the driver seat does show signs of wear. It was my intentions to replace them with wrecking yard bucket seats at some point.
I have a lot of money in this car, it has served me well, but it is time to move on. I can ask a $million$ dollars for it, but the bottom line is this:
$10K gets the car. No less will buy it, I've done been down that road and I still have the car. It's worth every penny I want for it and if you have ever been in the car building hobby, you know for a fact there is just no way you could ever build the car I am selling for what I want for it. But then I guess that's why we wait for someone like me to come along with this kind of car...so you can get all the car for half the money.
Give me a call...I have your El Camino here waiting for you....PACO RITTER....TEXARKANA, ARKANSAS
I can be reached at 903-277-5172 (cell) I work in a noisy area often times and may not be able to hear my phone. Leave a message, I will call back ASAP.
