INTRODUCTION: The exceptional fit and finish on this El Camino is
sure to impress, that's why it's wearing a tuxedo: tuxedo black!
It's going to be a pleasure to drive too with that 396, power
steering and power disc brakes.
EXTERIOR: It's a real black beauty! It just presents itself very
nicely with its clean body, high gloss paint, and sparkling chrome.
The long panels are straight with no rust or damage showing. The
tuxedo black is polished to a very high gloss, smooth finish. Even
the jambs are glossy and have new weatherstrips. Upfront the
grille, bumper, and hood ornament have been replaced. The stainless
trim around the windows, gutters, bed opening, and wheel wells have
been replaced. The door handles, bow tie mirror and in back the
emblems, bumper, and tail lights were all replaced. The rally
wheels are 15x7s in front and 15x8s in back, and they are wearing
shiny trim and BFG tires.
INTERIOR: It has a very tidy interior, not to mention sporty with a
set of bucket seats and center console! In front of me is a mint
dash pad, all the chrome bezels have been replaced, the heater
control panel looks new and it has a new reproduction steering
wheel on a tilt column. That original AM/FM radio actually has
modern internals including Bluetooth. New dual speakers are in the
dash and wires are run behind the seats if you want to easily add
speakers. The center console has a working clock, the seats are
nice and firm, the seat backs are excellent. The carpet is fresh
and has reproduction mats. Behind the passenger seat is a new spare
tire and rally wheel with a new complete jack assembly. The
headliner, visors and mirror look like new too. Even the fuse block
was replaced. Not only is most of it new, it also fits right giving
you the feeling your sitting in a new 1966 El Camino.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Yup, that is a big block 396 engine sitting
there! It has the rectangular port heads and an Edelbrock Performer
aluminum intake. It also has reproduction chrome valve covers and
air cleaner. It is even detailed with reproduction GM hoses and
clamps, Delco battery topper and spring clamp cables. The
components look new like the fuel pump, pulleys, alternator, and
clutch fan. The power steering pump was replaced and it has the
correct remote reservoir. It also has a new and upgraded power
brake system with a dual master cylinder. It is very complete: the
squirters are hooked up and it has the glass bottle of concentrate
fluid. Overall, a very nice appearance!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the bed is rock solid, clean metal all
painted gloss black. The tailgate opens and closes properly and has
chrome hinges.
UNDERSIDE: Not sure how long it lived in California but it sure has
dry, clean metal under here. The floors, braces and inner rockers
look to be original and in excellent shape. The steering and
suspension has been rebuilt as needed. We replaced the idler arm,
the front springs and shocks appear to be recent and it is upgraded
with polyurethane swaybar bushings. The dual exhaust has been
replaced and has factory type mufflers. The brakes have been redone
and were upgraded with discs in front and the e-brake is hooked up.
The fuel tank was recently replaced too. Looking up at the motor it
is clean, you can see fresh freeze plugs and it is upgraded with a
high torque starter. Upgraded Turbo 350 automatic transmission, the
driveshaft has fresh u-joints and connects to a 10 bolt rear
end.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: This is an attractive ElCamino with some muscle and it
is in impressive condition. You CAN have a really good one without
breaking the bank!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
