Up for sale in the Louisville showroom is one Beastly muscle car, this 1966 Chevrolet El Camino. Chevrolet introduced the El Camino first in 1959 as a result of a suggestion from automotive great Harley Earl. The "Coupe Utility" was based off of the Brookwood two door station wagon, and offered a full sized pickup bed in a highly styled, low slung sedan body. The vehicle was an immediate success, outselling its Ford competitor the Ranchero nearly 2 to 1. The second generation starting in '64 based the vehicle off of the Chevelle chassis, but initially did not offer the high horsepower Chevelle power plants. In '65 a slight facelift was introduced as well as the availability of more engines including a hot 350 HP 327 CI V8. This particular '66 model sports a 327 CI V8 backed by a 3 speed automatic transmission, and has been given the Pro Street that is popular among the street scene crowd. The Silver Metallic paint is in excellent condition. The bed of this Pro Street Ute has modified with large wheel tubs, so that a nice set of â??steam roller â??slicks can be added if you decide to go racing. The Weld Drag Lite wheels finish off the look. Inside the El Camino is clean and kept basic look which just added to the race ready look. This vehicle would be at home at a local car cruise, car show or even at the drag strip. Equipment includes: power steering, am/ radio, vinyl seats, seat belts and aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in performance radial tires The car runs and drives very well and makes a sweet sound.
