Vehicle Description
We've had a bunch of El Caminos lately, and this 1967 example is
one that brings everything to the party: big block power,
overdrive, and that awesome paint that really makes it stand out.
It's probably too nice to work on weekends anymore, but if you like
collecting big trophies, the bed will certainly be able to carry
them home for you. Oh, and check out the very reasonable price!
At the foundation of that paint job there's a Black Cherry base,
but even with the wild graphics on top there's no denying the
muscle that lives underneath. It's led an easy life because the
sheetmetal is in great shape with no signs that it was ever a work
truck, although after all the money that was spent on the bodywork,
you'd expect any previous issues to be completely erased. The paint
is two-stage urethane, so it's durable and easy to maintain, and
the guys who did the work were consummate professionals because
it's absolutely spectacular in every way. The lines between the
colors are crisp, the breaks are laser-straight, and the final
finish was color sanded and buffed to an incredible shine. The
chrome and stainless trim is almost all new, and speaking of the
bed, it has been finished with a stunning oak floor that absolutely
transforms it from ordinary to wow! It's really hard not to like
this car.
The black interior features a pair of custom GS-1 high-back bucket
seats with 5-point harnesses and a beautifully finished instrument
panel that uses contrasting red paint to make it stand out. The
rest of the interior appears to be new, too, from the carpets to
the door panels, and that mahogany steering wheel warms it up
without looking out of place. Auto Meter Sport-Comp auxiliary
gauges keep an eye on the big block's vitals and the B&M
shifter manages a built 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. A
modern AM/FM/cassette stereo system with a 100-watt amplifier
really fills the compact cabin with sound but didn't require any
cutting in the dash. Power windows were added with switches neatly
stashed under the dash and, well, there's really not much to
complain about here; this car is every bit as spectacular as it
looks.
The engine is a 454 cubic inch V8 with an .030 overbore and more
than 500 horsepower on tap. Equipped with a Comp Cams mechanical
roller valvetrain, Eagle rods and crank, Speed-Pro pistons, the
bottom end is built for combat, while an Edelbrock Torker II intake
manifold and Demon carburetor handle the air/fuel mix. Supporting
gear includes a GM Racing distributor, a giant aluminum radiator
with electric fans, and a whole lot of chrome and polished
aluminum. The firewall is smoothed with a sheet of polished
stainless and all the accessories are chrome as well.
Ceramic-coated headers feed a custom Flowmaster dual exhaust system
with turn-downs just ahead of the rear axle, so it sounds
spectacular. The aforementioned 700R4 was built for the rigors of
the big block's torque and feeds a 10-bolt rear end with 3.73 gears
and an Eaton Posi inside. 2-inch lowering springs were used in
conjunction with Air Lift air bags out back to fine-tune the stance
and custom adjustable upper and lower billet aluminum control arms
keep it all centered and pinned down. 17-inch Torque Thrust wheels
look idea and carry staggered 205/40/17 front and 275/40/17 rear
performance radials.
This is one of the most incredible El Caminos we've ever featured.
Show-quality paint, a thundering powerplant, and that shockingly
affordable price all guarantee that this one won't sit for very
long. Don't hesitate, call today!
