A 1984 Chevrolet El Camino with a 5.0L V8 is listed on Cars & Bids with no reserve. See details on mileage status, modifications, condition, and auction terms.

A 1984 Chevrolet El Camino has appeared on Cars & Bids, offering a reminder of just how unique this model still feels decades later. Neither a traditional passenger car nor a true pickup, the El Camino remains one of America’s most recognizable “car-truck” hybrids — and this particular example is being sold with no reserve, meaning it will go to the highest bidder regardless of price.

The vehicle is located in Moses Lake, Washington, and carries a clean Washington title. The odometer shows 24,200 miles, but the listing is marked as True Mileage Unknown due to mileage inconsistencies recorded at several points in its documented history. The included Carfax report begins in 1990 and contains gaps, though it shows no reported accidents for the period it covers.

This El Camino belongs to the final G-body generation, the last chapter of the model before production ended in 1987. Power comes from a 5.0-liter V8, rated at 145 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque in stock form. However, the seller notes several modifications, including an Edelbrock 650 CFM carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, chrome valve covers, and MagnaFlow exhaust mufflers. No dyno sheet is provided, so any real-world power increase remains unconfirmed.

Visually, the car has been repainted in silver and fitted with 14-inch American Racing wheels, aftermarket headlights, and a fiberglass bed cover. Inside, it features cloth upholstery, air conditioning, manual windows, and a Pioneer head unit.

Still, the listing makes it clear this El Camino is far from flawless. Reported issues include scratches, dents, paint cracking, clearcoat failure, rust spots, hazy headlights, and corrosion underneath. The interior shows wear as well, with cracks on the dashboard, worn sunvisors, and a sagging headliner. Mechanically, the instrument cluster is listed as inoperable, the Check Engine light is illuminated, and the seller states the A/C does not blow cold. Additional faults include a non-working windshield wiper motor, a missing washer pump, a non-functional high-speed fan setting, and a driver-side speaker that does not operate.

One major detail for potential buyers is emissions compliance: the seller states the vehicle is not equipped with catalytic converters, which could make registration difficult in states with strict emissions testing requirements.

Even with its flaws, the combination of classic G-body El Camino styling, a modified V8 setup, and a no-reserve format is likely to keep interest high through the final hours of bidding. For enthusiasts, it represents the kind of old-school American oddball that simply isn’t being built anymore — and that alone may be enough to make this auction one to watch.
