Vehicle Description
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
