4360-PHX 1966 CHEVROLET EL CAMINO
Gleaming in a vibrant turquoise finish, the 1966 Chevrolet El Camino blends utility and classic styling in one impressive package. Bold chrome accents frame this vehicle's distinctive body lines while rally-style 15" wheels with center caps and beauty rings give it proper road presence. A soft bed cover adds practicality without sacrificing the clean, muscular profile. Lip moldings adorn all four corners, complementing the window surrounds and .....
grille trim. The 215/70R15 BFG Advantage all-season tires complete the balanced stance of this American classic, showing off its unique dual-purpose design as both truck and car.
The black interior combines function with comfort through its vinyl and cloth bench seat. A Grant steering wheel adds a custom touch while the column shifter gives easy access to gear selection. Audio comes from an aftermarket RetroSound radio equipped with modern USB connectivity. Black door panels create a unified look throughout the cabin, while the intact headliner features a fully functional dome light. Climate control is managed through the factory AC panel, and additional Iequus gauges monitor vital engine functions including temperature, voltage, and oil pressure.
Muscle comes from the believed-original L30 327 cubic inch V8 producing 275 horsepower. Recent mechanical work includes new rod and main bearings, timing chain installation, and an upgraded high-volume oil pump. The modified 2004R automatic transmission features an electronic torque converter controller for improved performance. Power transfers through a 10-bolt rear axle with fresh 3.36:1 ring and pinion gears and new axle bearings. Handling is enhanced by tubular upper and lower control arms both front and rear. The dual exhaust with glasspack-style mufflers creates a proper V8 rumble. The original 3-core factory AC radiator has been fully restored in 2024 for optimal cooling.
