Vehicle Description
When the plans were still on the drawing table, the El Camino was
given a specific objective - combine the convenient utility of a
pickup truck with the refinement and road manners of a passenger
car. Over the years, the second half of that equation would evolve
as far as Chevy was concerned and a figurative merger with just any
car would no longer be enough - the El Camino would soon move in
stylistic lockstep with the revered Chevelle and become a bona fide
muscle car, as this 1967 Chevrolet El Camino so ably
represents.
As a '67, this El Camino closed out Chevy's second generation of
the model, marking the occasion by undergoing a facelift that
paralleled the Chevelle, while adding a new grille, front bumper
and trim. The Nantucket blue exterior shade on this classic Chevy
strikes a nice balance - it's a thoroughly vintage, yet vital
looking shade that works well in this setting. Clear tinted glass
surrounds the cabin and combines with body alignment that's very
much on point to give this El Camino a road-ready appearance. Its
doors open and shut smoothly and the body contours running along
its sides are noticeably level as they transition from front fender
to door to bed area. There are a couple of nice additional touches
in back to add to this El Camino's singular look - a circa 1965
"fuel injection" is positioned on the tailgate as a reference to
what sits below the hood and an LED bulb illuminates the rear
license plate. The signature woodgrain taillight panel was recently
replaced, so it's looking particularly strong.
Things are looking downright impressive inside the doors. A very
comfortable split bench seat sits at the center of the interior,
looking well-padded and showing little sign of wear as it looms
over an expanse of clean black carpeting. The dash area is a
tasteful blend of factory and aftermarket components, with the set
of still clear factory gauges joined by their newer counterparts
positioned directly below, while a fresh-looking dash pad runs the
width of the cabin. An underdash air conditioning system has also
been added to the mix, and it's in top form to keep you and your
passengers nice and comfortable while on the road. An
AM/FM/cassette player sits at the center of the dash to provide
your personal soundtrack while the chrome panel just to the right
of it looks particularly sharp. The bed area in back is another
strong suit - it offers quite a bit of storage space between the
inner wheel houses, and the stainless-steel trim ornamenting its
walls is a nice added touch.
This '67 really represents the muscle car-oriented evolution of the
El Camino well. A 383-cubic inch GM ZZ V8 sits in the engine
compartment and it's an absolute visual show-stopper, featuring a
dazzling array of chrome and billet parts. It's got plenty of power
to back up its look - a full 425 horsepower worth- and sounds great
as it sings through its Flowmaster dual exhaust. An FI tech unit
has been added to up both adjustability and all-weather
dependability, while a Ron Davis 4-core aluminum radiator sits up
front, along with dual electric fans, to keep temperatures in
check. This El Camino has the ride quality to go along with its
exhilarating power, as it features a fresh suspension with sway
bars in both front and back, as well as Eibach lowering springs to
give it a custom, road-hugging stance. This well-restored classic
rolls on a set of 15" American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with
billet center caps, sporting Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires.
Looking very sharp and wielding some serious power, this 1967
Chevrolet El Camino offers the opportunity to put a coveted but
seldom seen classic in your garage. Call today!
