1986 Chevrolet El Camino Choo Choo Customs – 68,000 Original Miles – 5.7L 350 Crate Motor!

Choo Choo Customs of Chattanooga, Tennessee, was famous for giving the El Camino the aggressive visual identity it always deserved, transplanting the iconic aerodynamic front fascia from the Monte Carlo SS onto the utility chassis. This example features that distinctive fiberglass nose piece, specific SS graphics, and integrated sport side mirrors, all finished in a deep gloss black. The body panels present beautifully, retaining straight lines and a mirror-like shine that reflects its meticulous, accident-free history. Underneath, the chassis remains remarkably clean, unmarred by harsh winter environments or road salt.

The cabin is a true time capsule, reflecting the strict standards of its sole caretaker. The seller notes that this interior was kept strictly off-limits to smoking, drive-through food, and beverages since day one. The plush dark blue cloth upholstery on the optional bucket seats shows minimal wear, separated by a crisp center console housing the floor shifter. Factory equipment includes power windows, power door locks, a tilt steering column, power steering, and power brakes, ensuring modern road manners accompany the vintage aesthetic.

While the original 305-cubic-inch V8 left enthusiasts wanting more in 1986, this example has been treated to the definitive period-correct upgrade. Power is now provided by a recently installed 5.7-liter 350ci crate engine, transforming the driving dynamics with a healthy 300+ horsepower. This upgraded powerplant pairs seamlessly with the automatic transmission, offering snappy throttle response and effortless highway cruising while retaining a stock-appearing engine bay.

For the collector seeking a rare, highly documented G-body that bridges the gap between show-car preservation and muscle-car performance, this Choo Choo El Camino is ready for its next chapter.
