Vehicle Description
A coveted big block, 4-speed El Camino, this highly-optioned
trucklet is a concours restored classic that's won multiple
national awards. Looking for a choice collectible that puts a
unique spin on an old school favorite? Take a look at your next
obsession!
Assembled at GM's Fremont manufacturing facility in December of
1965, this fully sorted Elco mixes a coveted 396/4-speed drivetrain
with a roster of factory options. During the car's ground-up,
concours restoration, completed by Whitehall Auto Restorations of
Hopkinton, Massachusetts, its body was completely disassembled and
massaged into a laser-straight canvas. Once the builders attained
better-than-factory panel alignment, correct Sandalwood Tan 2-stage
was accented with fresh trim that includes optional bumper guards
and an optional remote outside mirror. And presently, this Chevy
rolls as a stunning classic that complements multiple Antique
Automobile Club of America awards with a roster of Vintage Chevy
Club of America honors.
Glance under this Malibu's mirror-slick hood and you'll find 396
cubic inches of dressed big block that follows an L34-specific "EF"
assembly stamp with a correct 3855961 casting number. Behind that
360 horsepower mill, a tough Muncie 4-speed hangs a Muncie (P)
assembled on October (10) 14th (14) build stamp behind a correct
3885010 casting number. That transmission twist torque to a
requisite GM 12-bolt, which pushes a fully rebuilt suspension
that's so fresh it still features bright, reproduction tags. Turns
come courtesy of factory power steering. Stops are provided by
power-assisted drums. Aluminized exhaust threads cast iron
manifolds and aggressive turbo mufflers. And at the corners of the
car, 14-inch steelies twist 7.75-14 BF Goodrich Silvertown
whitewalls around optional wire wheel covers.
Naturally, this El Camino's thorough restoration included the
installation of a correct Medium Fawn and Light Fawn interior. Firm
bucket seats, featuring optional power adjustment for the car's
driver, stretch correct materials under deluxe belts. An ornate
dash frames rebuilt telemetry above factory Cruise Control, factory
air conditioning, a Delco AM/FM radio and a 6,000 RPM tachometer.
Beneath that dash, a polished shifter rides a stainless-trimmed
console, which parallels 2-tone door panels that front optional
power windows. And the driver spins an attractive Chevrolet Rally
Wheel around a tilting column.
Wrapping an excellent restoration around an athletic drivetrain,
this national award-winning Camino is a desirable, well-done
collector car. In the market for some cool muscle that's exclusive
AND unique? This Chevy is your kind of classic!
