This cool classic 1966 Chevrolet El Camino presents itself well.
The white paint still has its shine and looks sharp with the racing
stripes. The aftermarket rims add character while keeping the
stance correct for the age of the car. All the badges are in the
correct places, and there is a spray-on bed liner in the back. In
the rear, under the bumper, is a bolted-in tow hitch assembly, and
to the left and right are chrome tailpipes that stick out just the
right amount.
The interior is blue with a secondary color of gray. Two gray
bucket seats come from a more modern vehicle and are in decent
shape. On the floor in the center, in front of the seats is a
floor-mounted Winter Performance Sidewinder shifter. A custom
steering wheel is installed along with a Sun Tach tachometer on the
steering column. The dashboard gauges are original, but there is a
tri-pod set of gauges bolted underneath to keep a better eye on the
engine's performance. An older-style aftermarket SANYO radio is
mounted in the dashboard with AM/FM/Cassette. Below that is the
temperature control cluster, and rounding out the interior is a
spare tire behind the passenger seat.
Under the hood sits a 350 Tune Port Injection V8 mated to a 700R4
4-speed automatic transmission, which connects to a 12-bolt rear
axle. The front suspension is equipped with A-arms and coil-overs,
and the rear suspension handles business with coil springs, shocks,
and a set of traction bars. For slowing things down, the El Camino
is equipped with power front disc brakes and rear power drum
brakes. Fifteen-inch American Racing wheels sit at all four
corners. For rubber, the front uses 225/70R15 Cooper Cobra Radial
G/T tires, while the rear is fitted with 275/60R15 BFG Radial T/A
tires. For a nice old-school rumble, the Chevy is equipped with
stock-style manifolds, dual exhaust, and chambered mufflers.
