This custom truck was built by combining body and interior components from a 1987 Buick Regal with the cargo bed, chassis, and drivetrain of a 1986 Chevrolet El Camino. The vehicle was acquired by the late owner in 2008 and was subsequently repainted in its current black finish. It features a sculpted hood, a fabricated tailgate, and a tonneau cover along with GNX-style 16″ wheels. Inside, the cabin houses a split-bench seat trimmed in gray cloth accompanied by an AM/FM cassette player, air conditioning, and cruise control. Power is provided by a 305ci V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, and further equipment includes front disc brakes, power steering, and a dual exhaust system. This modified El Camino is now offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of an estate with a window sticker and owner’s manual for the Buick Regal along with refurbishment photos and a clean Connecticut title in the name of the late owner that lists the car as a 1986 Chevrolet.
The bodywork from the Buick Regal was modified to incorporate the cargo bed and fitted over the El Camino chassis as part of the initial build. A tailgate utilizing the rear panel assembly from the Regal was fabricated before the vehicle was finished in black. GNX badging, a sculpted hood, fender vents, body-color bumpers, dual side mirrors, and a tonneau cover are further details. A scratch on the right quarter panel and wear in the bed are noted.
GNX-style 16″ cross-lace wheels wear chrome trim rings and are mounted with 245/50 BFGoodrich Comp T/A tires. The vehicle is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The split bench seat is upholstered in gray cloth and features a fold-down center armrest. Equipment includes an AM/FM cassette player, air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows.
A two-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a tilt column and frames an 85-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 26k miles. A mileage inconsistency is noted in an April 2024 entry on the Carfax report, and total mileage is unknown.
The 305ci V8 is equipped with a K&N air cleaner assembly. The Carfax report states that the starter and fuel filter were replaced in April 2024, and the carburetor was rebuilt in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is equipped with a dual exhaust system.
Photos from the modification process are included in the sale along with a window sticker and owner’s manual from the Buick Regal.
The Carfax report for the 1986 El Camino displays the aforementioned mileage inconsistency and lists history from an initial entry in May 1995. A Carfax report for the 1987 Buick Regal is presented in the gallery and shows that a junk title/certificate was issued in November 2016.
The car is being offered by the seller on behalf of an estate.
