About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Tri-Power engine isn't original to the car. Body-off restored. Very good paint. Even gaps. Orange peel around the windows. Detailed, nearly spotless engine bay. Very good underbody. Nearly spotless interior. Fresh and gorgeous, if not exactly as it came from the factory.

Market commentary

An El Camino has never been practical, either as a car or as a truck, but nowhere is the contrast more apparent than in 1959 with the gullwing rear fenders flanking a nearly useless bed. Little features like the wood bed floor only add to the odd juxtapositioning. It does make a statement, though and that is reflected in the price it brought.
