This Black Cherry beauty, a modified 1985 Chevrolet El Camino, boasts a Corvette-sourced 350ci V8, modern upgrades, and enough flair to turn heads at any cruise night. Despite its impressive pedigree, including a $15,950 sale at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2024 and a $15,500 sale at GAA in 2019, the El Camino couldn’t pull in more than an $8,000 bid on Bringatrailer.com—failing to meet its reserve price. It seems the market wasn’t quite ready to put its money where this truck’s rumbling exhaust is. Perhaps bidders were too distracted by the paint’s “clouding,” or maybe they just didn’t know a deal when they saw one. Either way, this SS-style hauler proves that even the coolest rides can have a tough time on the auction block when buyers are bargain hunting. Classic car values may fluctuate, but this one’s worth is clearly in the eye of the beholder—or under the hood.
