Time has been nice to this old El Camino, and we can always respect that. There are still several days left on the bid, but it’s sitting at $2,800 at the time of this posting (Update: It's up to $6,000 now). The listing states that the seller originally acquired it from his grandfather. Cars from this era aren’t typically preserved as well as this one, but it’s been in the same family for a long time. It only has 64,000 miles, and it presents spectacularly. This particular car is also equipped with power windows, air conditioning and an AM/FM radio. The package included hood graphics, the side decal, a front air dam, black grille, sport mirrors, tri-tone pinstriping, black quarter window moldings and a Royal Knight-branded glove compartment. They weren’t rare, and they were mechanically the same as any other El Camino of the time. It being a Royal Knight edition doesn’t mean much beyond the car’s aesthetics. The El Camino’s two-spoke wheel just has a few less buttons than the C8’s. If you were thinking C8 Corvette, your mind was going the same direction as us. The steering wheel reminds us of something very modern. Engine installations were: 267-cid V-8 engine. Total El Camino production was 58,008 units, again with no Super Sport breakout. The 1979 El Camino listed for 5,579 and weighed in at 3,242 lbs. It’s very red, and even comes with the Royal Knight-branded floor mats. Full-size Chevrolet passenger cars were downsized in 1977 and the mid-size cars received the same treatment in 1978. What actually is feisty is that interior. The speedometer went all the way to 80 mph. It had a raucous (read: sarcasm) 200-cubic-inch V6 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that made 94 horsepower and 154 pound-feet of torque. If you know your El Camino history, you’d know this 1979 model was built near the start of the end, the final generation of the Chevy car truck (or truck car, whichever way you like it). However, this Royal Knight is the El Camino of the moment over on Bring a Trailer, so let’s take a look. Then again, maybe you have the El Camino on your mind after seeing the new " Breaking Bad" movie trailer. ![]() In fact, chances are you don’t dream of El Caminos to begin with. The 1979 Chevrolet El Camino Royal Knight is probably not your dream El Camino. Feast your eyes on this perfect 1979 Chevy El Camino Royal Knight Lightly jousted with 64,000 miles on it
