History of the Generation

The 1987 Chevrolet El Camino belongs to the fifth and final generation (1978–1987). This was the last year the iconic “car-truck” hybrid was produced before being discontinued. Production had moved to Mexico in 1985, and only 13,743 units were built in 1987 — the lowest production year in El Camino history.

The 1987 model featured updated front-end styling while retaining the classic El Camino proportions and utility. It was the last year to offer the full-size spare tire mounted under the bed and the traditional swing-down tailgate design.

This generation is highly regarded by collectors for its blend of classic styling, V8 power, and everyday usability. The 1987 model holds special appeal as the final chapter of one of America’s most beloved nameplates.


Performance & Fuel Economy

The 1987 El Camino came with a 5.0-liter (305 cubic inch) V8 engine, producing approximately 150–165 horsepower and 240–260 lb-ft of torque. This was the largest and most powerful engine available in the final year of production.

Fuel Economy (approximate, period estimates):

  • City: 13–15 mpg
  • Highway: 17–19 mpg
  • Combined: 15–16 mpg

The car is equipped with a TH200-4R 4-Speed Automatic transmission with Overdrive, power steering, and front disc brakes — making it significantly more comfortable and drivable than earlier El Caminos.


Condition & Modifications

Exterior:

  • Medium Gray Metallic paint with good overall shine
  • Chrome trim in good condition
  • Newer spray-in bedliner (very practical upgrade)

Mechanical:

  • 5.0L (305 ci) V8 runs well
  • A/C blows cold
  • Power windows, power steering, and front disc brakes all function properly

  • Everything on the car works as it should
