Description : Gateway classic cars of Nashville is proud to digitally present this 1978 Chevrolet El Camino SS Black Knight. Ok hold on tight as a lot of good information is coming your way. This is one serious car, truck? Let briefly talk about the incredible look of the car. The Black paint on this 1978 El Camino looks like the paint is still wet! The black paint is accentuated with a pin stripe that is three shades of brown tan and taupe and this color combination is carried on to the hood where a pair of fire breathing dragons give a hint to the beast under the hood. The 350 cubic inch small block that is strapped to the frame has about 3,000 on it since a fresh rebuild and it looks it and better yet can be felt with instant response with the slightest touch of the throttle. This small block has all the right goodies bolted to it, let start at the top. A Holley four-barrel Carb. On top of an Edlebrock performer intake allow the engine to pull in fresh air and fuel. A pair of Hooker long tube headers let it exhale with little restriction. MSD supplies the spark to wake the beast via a Blaster 2 coil and MSD distributor. All this power is then sent to the Muncie 4 speed manual transmission that has a firm shift that lets you know in an instant that you are in gear and it is ready for more power. I drove this car in the video and can tell you it is fun to drive and the ride and handling have not been forgotten. Until I spent 10 minutes gazing at the bottom of this sweet ride I did not know that all the body bushing had just been replace and the sway bars updated with Hotchkis components. Ok, a couple of words about the interior, it is as nice as the rest of the car. Also the car/truck comes with a copy of the built sheet and window sticker that has a final price of 7,996.10 ! That was a LOT of money in 1978. I could go on and on, but running out of room. This El Camino will not last long, call with questions.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
