For Sale: 1966 Chevrolet El Camino in Mesa, Arizona

This 1966 Chevrolet El Camino is a true street machine cruiser. You see the custom style everywhere including paint, bucket seat interior, and overdrive transmission. Plus, you'll really love lifting the hood because you're likely the only one around who has a Chevy with fuel-injected Hemi power. Oh yes, this is a bow-tie with Mopar muscle!

The purple and black is the kind of full custom application that's going to get a lot of attention. The two-tone utilizes a bold pink with graphics as a divider. And the full pinstriping package adds custom artful lines all around the car - including custom flames on the large tonneau cover. The full package has a smoother style with painted bumpers, sport mirrors, deleted trim, shaved door handles, and a lowered suspension. Sleekness also means added polish. The billet grille and clear headlights put a bright face forward. And while the Billet Specialties wheels add to the brightness, they also have a 16/18 inch front/rear forward-leaning stance to declare this is a powerful pickup.

The interior continues the custom treatment that also has a driver-ready attitude. Those bucket seats have plenty of bolstering that ensures this full custom is fully comfortable. And there's an instant feeling of a driver's car with the three-spoke sports steering wheel, center console, and upgraded gauge package. The custom door panels, headliner, dash, and carpeting have been done with the coordinating gray. Plus there are good comfort features like power windows and an Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo with USB and Bluetooth.

The engine is always going to be the big talking point of this "Hemino" and so it's great to have such a show-ready style under the hood. There's a terrific look with smooth purple inner walls and plenty of polished components. And beyond the shine is the substance of a well-built motor. It's a 392 cubic-inch Hemi V8 topped with an electronic fuel injection system for added power and consistency. We're not the only ones impressed by a Chevy with a Hemi, because it appears that Don "Big Daddy" Garlits signed the intake! The V8 is a strong runner that makes a nice tune out of the dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. Plus, power steering, front disc brakes, and a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission make this a good all-around driver.

What's really nice about this El Camino is its overall driver-quality and driver-ready presentation. After all, it's a powerful and unique classic, and so it deserves to be out there being both shown off and enjoyed. In fact, with the distinctly 90s-level style and upgrades like overdrive, we bet you're thinking about going to some Radwood events that may be many hours away. So if you love something absolutely distinct, you know you need to call today
