This 1966 Chevrolet El Camino captures the perfect balance between
muscle car aggression and classic utility, offering collectors and
enthusiasts a show-stopping blend of performance, comfort, and
craftsmanship. Finished in deep Burgundy Metallic with custom
pinstriping and paired with a sleek, upgraded interior, this El
Camino is a standout example of a classic built to be driven and
admired. Before we dive into the details of this stunning
Chevrolet's exterior, interior, and powertrain, we'd like to
introduce ourselves.
Smoky Mountain Traders is a premier classic car dealership located
in East Tennessee, specializing in muscle cars and vintage
vehicles. As a family-owned and operated business, we take pride in
offering one of the largest and most trusted selections of classic
cars for sale in the region. Unlike many dealers, we own 100% of
our inventory-we do not accept consignments-so you can buy with
confidence, knowing every car on our lot is hand-selected by our
team.
From the first glance, this '66 El Camino makes a commanding
impression. The Burgundy Metallic paint lays out smooth and glossy,
showcasing excellent body lines and fitment throughout. Custom red
and silver pinstriping accents add a tasteful touch of retro
artistry, while the polished chrome bumpers and bright trim
highlight the car's timeless Chevrolet styling. The bed area is
covered with a flush-fitting black tonneau cover, giving the rear
profile a clean, finished appearance. The stance is set perfectly
thanks to a modern wheel and brake combination-large billet
aluminum wheels wrapped in performance tires with Wilwood disc
brakes and red calipers peeking through for that Pro-Touring
look.
Inside, the El Camino offers a comfortable and tastefully
modernized cabin that still retains its vintage charm. The black
cloth and vinyl bench seat presents in excellent condition, pairing
comfort with durability. The door panels, carpet, and headliner are
all clean and well-fitted, maintaining a cohesive and
factory-inspired aesthetic. Up front, the dash features a mix of
woodgrain accents and modern digital gauges, blending classic
styling with up-to-date functionality. The custom steering wheel
and aftermarket stereo system add to the driver's experience, while
subtle upgrades like improved sound insulation and rear-mounted
speakers ensure that this El Camino is as enjoyable on long drives
as it is at local shows.
Under the hood sits a built 350 cubic-inch V8 that delivers strong,
reliable performance with that unmistakable Chevrolet small-block
sound. It's equipped with Edelbrock valve covers and intake
manifold, a 4-barrel carburetor, and polished components throughout
for both looks and function. Cooling is handled by an aluminum
radiator, ensuring consistent performance even in warm
conditions.
Power is routed through an automatic transmission to a durable
10-bolt rear end, giving this El Camino the muscle and
dependability to handle the road with confidence. Underneath, the
chassis is clean and well-detailed, showcasing a dual exhaust
system with Flowmaster-style mufflers that provide a deep, throaty
tone. The Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes and power steering offer
precise control and modern drivability, making this classic ready
for the open road.
This 1966 Chevrolet El Camino is a stunning example of a classic
reinvented for today's enthusiast. Its built 350 V8, Wilwood
four-wheel disc brakes, 10-bolt rear end, and Burgundy Metallic
finish make it as thrilling to drive as it is to display. Whether
you're adding to a collection or searching for a powerful,
show-ready street machine, this El Camino delivers the total
package-muscle, style, and quality craftsmanship.
