Hi, I have been looking off and on for an El Camino to purchase. I ran across a Craigslist post that listed an 85 El Camino Limited Edition. This piqued my curiosity, and invested some time researching this. From the GM Heritage Center to all sorts of blogs and such, there is no reference to this package. Now I did find out that starting in 85 until the last production year in 87 GM shifted manufacturing to Mexico (ugh NAFTA). I was so enamored with the pictures that were posted, it is a two-tone blue exterior (light on top and sides, dark below the door molding and rocker panels. I hemmed and hawed for weeks over this, and I decided I should at least look at it up front. It was about a four hour trip each way, and just got back home. Sure enough, the interior woodgrain had a Limited emblem, and it kinda reminded me of the Cadillac emblem style. The driver's seat was power with three way positioning, like a Cadillac would have, the passenger seat was just a fold back. The cloth was velvety to the touch, and had more cushioning than any El Camino seat that felt as comfy as a Cadillac. Guy who owned it purchased from the original owner who only drove it into a small town and back before he had his license suspended due to age. Odometer shows about 64,000 miles and was assured that was its actual mileage. It runs and drives, but had been stored for about a year before he purchased it. There is some work that needs done, but nothing major on the surface.
My first question to the group, is if anyone has ever seen or heard of a Limited Edition package that was offered for this year model. If so, is there any available resource to support it? I have a lot of pictures that I took, so if you want to verify anything I can send by PM or email, let me know.
