This is the El Camino Dream Giveaway, where classic American muscle meets pickup practicality—and one lucky winner is about to walk away with a fully restored big-block icon.

Picture this: garage door opens, and sitting there is a bold 1970 El Camino SS396. You fire it up, and that deep, unmistakable big-block rumble fills the air. This isn’t just another classic—it’s one of the most unique performance machines ever built, blending muscle car aggression with real-world utility.

Entries close tonight, April 23, 2026, with the winner set to be drawn on May 6.

Big-Block Power, Real Muscle-Car Presence

At the heart of this El Camino is a 396 cubic-inch V-8 rated at 350 horsepower. It’s the kind of engine that defined an entire era—raw, responsive, and built to move. Paired with an automatic transmission, it delivers effortless cruising with plenty of punch when you want it.

This example was sold new in California and has undergone a frame-off restoration on a rust-free body. It’s the kind of build that hits the sweet spot: clean, correct, and ready to be driven.

The Look, The Options, The Attitude

The SS396 package brings everything you’d expect—bold styling, serious presence, and unmistakable Super Sport identity. Inside, bucket seats and a center console keep things driver-focused, while features like factory air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, and power windows make it easy to enjoy.

Tilt steering adds comfort, and the overall package reflects a top-tier El Camino from the golden age of muscle.

This isn’t just a showpiece—it’s a car built to be experienced.

Why This One Hits Different

The El Camino has always lived in its own lane. Part muscle car, part pickup, all attitude. And in SS396 form, it becomes something even more special—a vehicle that delivers both performance and personality in a way few others can.

Whether you grew up around these cars or you’re just now realizing how cool they are, this is one of those machines that sticks with you.

Final Hours—Don’t Miss It

There’s no cushion left. No “I’ll do it later.”

This giveaway ends today.

Your entry supports children’s and veterans’ charities—and could land you behind the wheel of one of Chevrolet’s most iconic creations. On top of that, $21,000 in prize taxes will be covered for the winner.

More chances to enter. One car. One winner.

If you’ve been thinking about it, this is it.

Shawn Henry has spent years writing about cars, and it shows—not in a resume kind of way, but in how he talks about them. He's the type who'll notice the weird trim option nobody remembers and actually know why it mattered. At Backfire News, he covers pretty much the whole spectrum: off-road trucks and trail builds, performance cars, racing, and the collector market. He's comfortable getting into the technical weeds, but he never forgets that most people read about cars because cars are fun, not because they want a spec sheet. His beat runs from classic and collector vehicles to overlanding culture, modified performance builds, new automotive tech, and the industry news that actually affects what ends up in your driveway. Mostly, though, Shawn thinks the best car stories are about people—the builds they pour money into, the road trips, the communities that form around a shared obsession. That's the stuff he likes writing about, and it's what you'll find in his work here.
