1985 Chevrolet El Camino Super Sport — True Factory SS with 305 V8 and 700R4 Why This Car Is Special The 1985 Chevrolet El Camino Super Sport occupies a specific and well-documented place in American automotive history. By 1985, the El Camino was in its final years of production — Chevrolet would discontinue it after 1987 — making this generation increasingly collectible as a genuine survivor of a body style that no other American manufacturer has replicated. The car-based pickup concept, first introduced by Chevrolet in 1959, reached its most refined and fully equipped form in these mid-1980s A-body examples. What makes this particular 1985 Chevrolet El Camino Super Sport worth paying close attention to is the factory SS designation itself. The Super Sport package in 1985 was not a performance upgrade in the traditional muscle car sense — it was a factory appearance and trim package that included specific exterior graphics, SS badging, sport suspension tuning, and a front air dam. Chevrolet did not offer the SS package to every El Camino buyer, and finding a documented factory SS example with the original drivetrain intact is meaningfully different from finding a base El Camino with SS emblems bolted on later. This car is the real thing. The VIN on this vehicle encodes that it was assembled at the Fairfax, Kansas plant, which was one of the primary assembly locations for the G-body El Camino during this era. The model year and plant codes confirm this is a legitimate 1985 model year production vehicle, not a title year discrepancy. 1985 was also the first year the El Camino came standard with the 700R4 four-speed overdrive automatic transmission, replacing the older three-speed TH350. That transmission upgrade was significant for drivability — the 700R4's overdrive fourth gear drops engine rpm noticeably at highway speed, making a 40-year-old V8 truck-car genuinely comfortable on the interstate.
