1967 chevy el camino12/21/2023 ![]() ![]() On back is a 4-speed Saginaw manual transmission, which throws power to a 12-bolt rear axle. Topping off the mill are a pair of aluminum cylinder heads and actuating the valves is a Comp Cams. ![]() There are aluminum ribbed valve covers and a Weiand intake manifold on top and on top of that is an QuickFuel 4-barrel carburetor. Within a fully restored engine bay in flat black, sits a gleaming red/orange painted GM 350ci V8 which has very recently been rebuilt, and it looks the part. Ladies and gentlemen please rise for a standing ovation for the interior! The black headliner is tear free but displays sagging and some notable folds. A modern AM/FM radio has been added as well as a small tachometer to the driver's left, all in working condition. It is made up of a fine mixture of padded black vinyl, black paint, silvery anodized aluminum and a peppering of black textured panels. The original dash sits proudly in front of the buckets and is also amazingly clean. Door panels are black as well, and again very clean just like the seats. These buckets flank a black plastic console with plenty of chrome highlighting around the edges as well as around the fully chromed shifter. A shiny black vinyl for the bolsters surround wide tuck and roll black inserts, and this all presents extremely clean in bucket format. Opening the doors you will have the pleasure of feasting your eyes on the recovered and redone interior. Keep it simple stupid, (KISS), is the rule of the design for this car which shows very nicely on its exterior. ![]() 15-inch-deep dish rally wheels with smooth bowtie chrome caps are on all 4 corners and are wrapped with Yokohama staggered width blackwall radials. The bed of this vehicle is lined with black painted ribbed steel and has no rust or major dents and is topped with a shock assisted black vinyl tonneau cover to keep your load secure. Front and rear bumpers as well as the front grille present nearly new. Plenty of chrome trimmings lining the top of the bed and defining the cabin glass has been newly polished, also on the interior of the wheel wells, and all is in very nice mirror-like condition. The Tuxedo Black respray is very nice and deep, and has just a few very minor scratches and paint chips here and there, but nothing major. Wonderfully preserved straight steel panels with well minded gaps make up this car like pickup. Some confusion may arise as to how this truck was born due to the existence of 2 trim tags, but regardless of original iteration, this truck is ready to haul home the trophies along with hauling ass. A fresh rebuild on the 350ci V8 and Saginaw transmission, purchased by our consignors in 2016 and driven a mere 4 times during their ownership, all the while being safely tucked away in the garage when not in use. We offer up for consignment, a fully restored and slightly hot rodded 1967 El Camino from the bow tie company. After dropping the axe on the original model GM decided to bring it back in 1964 as version 2 which lasted until 1967. It could have been the new flamboyant wings of full-sized Chevys or perhaps the Ranchero's hefty stake in the market, but after just 2 years and 36,409 El Caminos produced, Chevy dropped the axe on the model. The El Camino was built on a modified Brookwood station wagon platform. GM flirted with coupe-type trucks such as the Chevrolet Cameo Carrier and the GMC Suburban Carrier in 1955, but they went all-in with the El Camino for the 1959 model year. The El Camino was a direct challenge to Ford's Ranchero, a utility coupe dominating a previously untapped market. ![]()
