This 1966 Chevrolet El Camino represents a beautifully executed blend of classic style and modern performance. Finished in Tuxedo Black with a red vinyl interior, this second-generation El Camino is powered by a rebuilt 396ci L34 V8 paired with a replacement four-speed automatic transmission, offering robust power with reliable drivability. The El Camino retains its original lines with a refinished Tuxedo Black exterior and a custom lockable tonneau cover. The pickup rides on staggered American Racing Torq-Thrust II wheels with 16″ Toyo Proxes S/T tires up front and 17″ Bridgestone Potenza RE-11A tires at the rear. Upgrades include front disc brakes, a Currie 12-bolt rear end, Air Lift rear shocks, and a quick-ratio steering box, enhancing handling and stopping power. The suspension has been comprehensively refurbished with new springs, shocks, control arms, ball joints, and bushings. The interior features a red vinyl bench seat, matching door panels, carpets, and floor mats. Factory amenities include power windows, power-assisted steering, air conditioning converted to R134a, a seven-position tilt column, and an AM/FM push-button radio. Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer flanked by fuel, voltage, engine temperature, and oil pressure gauges, with a “knee-knocker” tachometer for driver-focused monitoring. The 396ci L34 V8 was rebuilt and paired with a polished Holley 600cfm carburetor, with an older carburetor included in the sale. Additional upgrades include an Airtex mechanical fuel pump and a radiator replacement with hoses and belts. Routine maintenance such as fluid changes has been performed, ensuring reliable operation.
