Here’s a chance to pick up a stylish early El Camino that blends classic lines with driver-grade usability. This 1960 Chevrolet El Camino is offered by a long-term owner and features a clean title, solid body, and an overhauled V8 under the hood. It’s listed here on eBay and located with a private seller, ready for its next chapter.
Finished in white over a mostly original interior, this El Camino stands out as a survivor that hasn’t been over-restored or heavily modified. The seller notes it’s not the original engine, but the V8 has been overhauled by a mechanic who was part of an estate, suggesting it’s been kept in good running shape. It’s said to still be drivable, though not used regularly, and might benefit from some light recommissioning depending on how far and often you plan to drive it.
Inside, the El Camino retains its original bench seat and even the factory A/C vents, though it will need a compressor to bring the system back online. That could be a straightforward upgrade for buyers looking to make it more comfortable in warmer weather while keeping the classic look intact. The automatic transmission adds to the cruising appeal, and the overall vibe of this El Camino leans more toward honest survivor than show queen.
As one of Chevrolet’s more distinctive body styles from the era, the 1960 El Camino combines full-size car comfort with truck-like utility, all wrapped in iconic ‘60s sheet metal. These are getting harder to find in complete, uncut condition—especially with decent interiors and a clean title. This one may not be concours-perfect, but it presents a solid starting point for a restoration, custom build, or simply an enjoyable classic to drive and appreciate.
Looks like the chrome is all there. The bumpers are straight. Sheet metal looks straight. The interior is concerning, but an overall solid looking car provided the floor and frame are OK. I think it’s worth quite a bit more than the current bid of $10,100
I always like looking at the background in these photos, trucks, buses, motor homes as a screen around the perimeter. Wonder if they’re gonna sell off the rest of the collection?

Me too, before I even look at the feature car I’m checking out what’s in the background. I wanted to know where this “private” seller is cause I love his yard. The 1969 Chevrolet Caprice, and what looks like a 1970 Chevrolet infront of it and possibly a 1947/48 Cadillac in front of that. Then the station wagon in the background. Very interesting stuff.
I thought Chevy skipped 1960 for the El Camino
57 “items” listed for sale, some interesting stuff!
WOW! He’s got the stuff that’s for sure!
If the emblems are original this was originally a 348 car. One with factory air is really rare. Looks like the makings of a good project.
This is a great survivor.. Would take a few parts and time with the interior and maybe a quick paint job to make it a very unique show or cars and coffee truck for someone who likes something comfortable to drive around in.. NO need for a fancy trophy winning restoration,, Just something you can have fun with!!!
Angel, I know you’re gonna want the Caddy, so I’ll take the truck instead. Reminds me of the truck I bought from a friend of my Mom for $200 in early 1970. Phylia told us that the truck ran and drove okay, but it wouldn’t pass inspection as it had flinstone style floorboards and the bed pan as well.
The truck itself was toast, but what was under the hood was
the main attraction. 348 cubic inches of early rat motor with
3 deuces on top. And all this raw power was handled by a factory 4-speed tranny. Very rare for a truck like this. That’s
when I knew I had to try and save it. Since it ran and drove,
my Mom and I drove the truck while my sister drove my Caddy home. Well, Mom mashed the gas too hard and dumped the clutch a little too soon and the truck shot forward squawling and smoking the rear tires as we left her friend’s house. That scared my Mom and she never drove my
truck again. After the 1970 tour was over in August, I set about getting it ready to sell. I took it to Wherry Welding where I had new floors and a bed pan put in. I had them drill 8 holes in the bed so the rainwater would drain out when it rained. While the seat was out, my Mom and sister recovered it In black vinyl along with the door cards and dash pad. Once we got it all together, I used the truck to carry band equipment on weekends while I was in school. It was ready
for paint when I sold it in ’71. A kid I went to school with wanted the truck and brought his Dad to see it. They took It for a test drive and when they came back, dear old Dad had a
BIG smile on his face. I wanted $850 for the truck, but the guy’s Dad gave me $950 on the spot. I saw my truck again
in the Fall of ’71 after I sold it. The kid I sold it to had it painted butter yellow with ET msgs and a bed cover along with those optional bedside rails. When I saw it, I sure regreted selling it. Sure wish I could buy this for real. I’d build another like it if I could.
what about those 69 impalas?
Has the incorrect Impala upholstery and steering wheel
Also, someone added the Impala stainless lower dash with the Ac vents still attached
