Due to the success of the Ranchero that Ford began selling in 1957, Chevrolet manufactured the El Camino for sale from 1959 through 1960. That initial attempt to compete with Ford was a failure, and Chevrolet abandoned the attempt due to the limited market. However, Ford continued to experience success and the market continued to broaden, so Chevrolet returned with an all-new El Camino for sale in 1964. It was here that Chevrolet established this automotive icon that spanned five vehicle generations.

First Generation (1959-1960)

While it's true that the its appearance in 1959 was in response to the success of the Ranchero, it's not the complete story. Harley Earl had the idea for one as early as 1952, and at some point after that moment, Chevrolet had been working on its design. However, perhaps the success of the Ranchero forced Chevrolet to introduce the El Camino for sale earlier than they would have liked. Regardless, what was a flop in 1959 became a legendary and coveted vehicle among modern collectors.

Second Generation (1964-1967)

When Chevrolet reintroduced the El Camino for sale in 1964, it was based on the Chevelle and thus substantially different from the two models at the beginning of the decade. Although the 1959-1960 models are the most coveted, these mid-1960s models provided the iconic El Camino imagery, imagery that has grown finer with time. The standard V8 that Chevy provided with these models was a 283 cubic-inch two-barrel carbureted motor that pounded out 195 horsepower. The optional engine had dual exhausts and a four-barrel carburetor that allowed it to crank out 220 horsepower.

Third Generation (1968-1972)

The third-gen model shared interior and exterior trims with the Chevelle Malibu, and it was at this time that Chevrolet really embraced the model's popularity with the muscle crowd. This is was evident in the high performance Super Sport (SS) that Chevrolet released alongside the 1968 Chevelle Super Sport. The following model year marked the first time that GM used the legendary Chevrolet 350 V8 in the El Camino. This focus on the big blocks continued throughout the third generation, and established the El Camino as one of the cornerstones of American muscle.

Fourth Generation (1973-1977)

For the fourth generation, Chevrolet redesigned it to match the Chevelle, which they were also redesigning. The distinct element of these model years is that while the vehicle grew in size, it is quite a bit lighter than the models that came before it due to advances in construction technology. During this period, the El Camino was also the last Chevy vehicle to sport the SS designation. The Chevelle had dropped it in 1973, and the Nova dropped it in 1976. However, unlike on those models, SS was an option package on the third-gen model, and it was quite common to have a higher-performing non-SS El Camino.

Fifth Generation (1978-1987)

In the 1980s, the muscle era was waning. American car buyers still loved their fast cars, but there was increased competition from imports providing better fuel performance. In addition, the growing popularity of compact pickup trucks was squeezing out the utility segment of the El Camino market. An interesting note is that Chevy sold 425 unsold 1987 models as 1988 models, making those 425 coveted as a curiosity.

Among enthusiasts, El Caminos are perhaps more popular today than they have ever been. Not too long ago, it was easy to find an one for sale, but that isn't the case any longer. An enthusiast's best shot at a hotrod with only a modest investment is to find one of those mid-1980s models, and "supe" it up. The true muscle El Caminos cost the proverbial pretty penny even in a state of disrepair.

Every classic car lover loves American muscle cars, and they can be illusive when your looking for a certain car, their are people out there who will take advantage of a person who is just learning the muscle car ropes, but I hope to help you with your hunt.

It's OK to let the seller know that your excited to buy your muscle car, but you should also let them know that their car is not the last one on earth, don't let a hard sell ruin your day, if your looking for a certain car, it's always best to look at quite a few before you make your decision.

Allot of this process will depend on what you plan to do with the car, if you want to restore it to drive around town in, it will be much easier to locate your perfect muscle car, this of course will depend on your knowledge of the restoration process.

If this is to be your first restoration, you'll need to start with a car that is in good condition, what I mean by good condition is this, look at the body panels on the car, such as the trunk floor, rocker panels, floor boards, and quarter panels.

Ask the seller to put the car on a lift so you can inspect the under side of it, if you notice any of the things that I have mentioned here, it will severely complicate the process of the restoration on the car, so you might want to look farther and find a better car.

Body panels aren't the only thing that need attention, you should also inspect the engine for leaks around the valve covers, oil pan, and intake manifold, not to mention you should always hear the car run, so be sure to ask the seller to fire it up.

Listen for any strange noises, such as knocks, clicks, bumps, and rattles look for the car to smoke excessively at the tail pipe, beware that if your looking for a cheap car to start with, you will have to forgo being to picky about some of these things.

I will tell you up front, the lees you spend when you buy the car the more you'll spend to restore it, this is not meant to scare you off, it's the honest truth on the subject, plan to spend about $10,000 to start with if you want a good project car to start with.

At the end of this article I'll give you some links to dealers on the web that I have done the research on, and I find them to to be trustworthy to do right on your purchase, now let's talk a little about the cars that are easier to locate parts for, up front these are the Camaro, and the Mustang.

Most of the parts for either the Camaro, or the mustang are fairly easy to get, unless your dealing with a very rare version of either car, such as a Yenko camaraderie, or a GT350 mustang, these can get pretty hard to locate parts such as engines for them.

I'd love to see you find the right muscle car for you, no matter what you plan to do with it, it's my only desire to see that you get the car that you want in the end, so both you, and the seller feel like you have gotten a great deal in the end.

You should always check these dealers out through the BBB, and the local chamber of commerce in the area that their located, this is usually a good place to start, these agencies aren't always the perfect solution either, they both depend a lot on membership of the company in their service.

Take what they tell you with a grain of salt, and do some of your own research on the issue, by talking to past customers, and the owners of the company that you want to deal with, and don't take no for an answer on your questions.

Ask where the car came from, why it's for sale, ask about the condition of the car, and let your mechanic, or restoration shop take a look at the car, once you have gotten all of your questions answered, you should be able to do the deal, and feel good abut it.
