Vehicle Description
With vibrant paint, four-on-the-floor, and proper V8 power, this
1965 Chevrolet El Camino has plenty of attitude. But when this
classic also has a comfy interior, it makes for an all-around
awesome cruiser.
Burnt orange sets the tone correctly for this El Camino. It has
added flair but doesn't cross the line at being too flashy. And
that's kind of the overall theme. It's an upgraded classic that has
power and poise, but nothing that takes it out of the realm of a
tasteful and practical cruiser. So the finish looks glossy in the
sunshine, but it's nothing too fancy that would make you afraid to
take it out on the road. The wheels are polished torque thrust
style units with a useful 17-inch size that lets you fit better
tires. And there's liner paint in the bed so that you can still
utilize the pickup's full utility. Good chrome, complete trim, and
doors that shut with confidence are all part of a quality
classic.
The black interior looks great against the dark orange exterior.
You can instantly tell this one is a blend of vintage style with
desirable upgrades. For example, you have a classic-style bench
setup, but now it's recovered with a plush velour and diamond
pattern inserts. Clean door panels, a smooth dash, and good
carpeting make this all quite inviting. There are even provisions
for R134a air conditioning (it will need serving to blow cold
again.) You'll love the performance feel that comes from the grip
of a Lecarra steering wheel, Hurst floor shifter, under-dash
auxiliary gauges, and handy tach.
Under the hood is Chevy's 283 cubic-inch motor. It has some nice
added flair with the polished air topper and valve covers. And it's
a nice piece of history because this was one of the largest V8s you
could get in an El Camino in 1965. But what you'll really like is
that it has upgrades for performance like an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, an Edelbrock Performer intake, and an upgraded aluminum
radiator to help keep it all tuning cool. It's a strong motor, and
the Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission gives you firm
control over it all. Plus, this one remains a good cruiser with
power steering, power brakes, and front discs.
Complete with owner's manual, service manuals, and maintenance
records. This is the practical classic pickup/coupe with all the
upgrades you want already in place. Don't miss this deal, call
