1983 Chevrolet El Camino

In 1983 the 4.4 liter V8 was gone, leaving the 5.0 liter version as the only optional gas V8, and the standard engine was again Chevrolet's 3.8 liter V6 of 110 horsepower, though California cars got a Buick V6 with similar specifications. The sister Malibu sedan and wagon were discontinued after the 1983 model year, as was the Royal Knight package. The 1983 to 1987 El Camino was also offered as a cosmetic conversion through select dealers, completed by Choo Choo Customs of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
