1966 Chevrolet El Camino

Description

Although the Harley-Davidson inspired paint is pretty amazing, the beauty of this 1966 Chevrolet El Camino is more than skin deep. There's also a performance small block under the hood and a nicely upgraded interior, which is all tied together in a package built for fun and practicality. It's amazing all this is at such an affordable price.

Just looking down the bright, shiny flanks of this El Camino, you can see that the money was spent wisely, because the sheetmetal is straight on this 50-year-old truck/car. Panel fit and body gaps are about what you would have gotten when it was new back in 1966, and it's always nice to see a Chevrolet muscle car that hasn't been dressed up in fake SS badges or stripes. Instead, this one earns its mean attitude through a paint scheme that will get you attention everywhere from the car shows to biker bars. The separation on the Harley-Davidson inspired two-tone looks particularly nice because there is a bright pinstripe boldly dividing the orange and the black. So people instantly know there was plenty spent on this El Camino. And just in case they weren't already convinced this was a cut-above classic, the bumpers and bright trim around the covered truck bed have a mirror-like shine. Finish it off with torque thrust-style Eagle Alloy wheels, and you've got the makings for one mean street machine.

The custom work continues on the inside. When you open the door, you're greeted to exceptionally comfortable late-model seating with a fold down armrest and individual comfort for two. This full deep black appearance is also seen on the quality condition of the carpets, door panel, and newer dash. Everything is within reach with the custom center console with cup holders that flows into the B&M performance shifter and then up to the upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with aux and USB connections for the most modern music players. When you slip behind the later model Chevy sports steering wheel, the full set of AutoMeter Phantom gauges is a big hint that there's something special under the hood.

The engine bay continues the great black and orange theme, but your focus will really be on the performance-built V8. This 350 cubic-inch motor has been upgraded with performance goodies that include a four-barrel carburetor, Weiand intake, Edelbrock valve covers, and long tube headers. But this monster motor is more than just about a ferocious growl out of the dual exhaust. It's backed up by reliable components such as an aluminum radiator and dual electric fans. So it stays cool in everyday situations, which is a good thing because it also has great anytime features like an automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.

You love an El Camino because it rides like a car and has the versatility of a pickup. You lust after this one because it has an outlaw appearance and the enhanced V8 to back it up. And with a price this affordable, you know you're not the only one who wants this, so hurry up and call today!
