DESCRIPTION
This 1966 Chevrolet El Camino sports a vibrant red exterior that demands respect on the road. A big block hood crowns the front end, giving this classic a muscular profile. Custom 18-inch wheels fill the arches, wrapped in 235/40ZR18 rubber up front and wider 275/40ZR18 tires in the rear for an aggressive stance. The coil spring suspension provides a balanced ride height, complementing the El Camino\'s unique pickup-meets-muscle-car design. Straight body panels and even gaps showcase the quality of the restoration, while the glossy-painted bed adds a touch of sophistication to its utilitarian roots.
Inside, black vinyl adorns the bench seat, creating a cockpit that\'s both classic and functional. A modern electronic gauge cluster brings contemporary precision to the dash, working in harmony with the original-style seats and interior panels. The updated Pioneer stereo system delivers crisp audio without compromising the vintage aesthetics-snug-fitting door cards, a taut headliner, and clean carpets round out the carefully restored interior. Air conditioning keeps occupants cool during summer cruises, adding modern comfort to this classic ride.
Powering this El Camino is a 283 V8 engine, mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission for effortless cruising. The engine bay houses several performance upgrades, including a K&N air cleaner, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and Edelbrock intake manifold. Long tube headers feed into a dual exhaust system with chambered mufflers, producing a deep, authoritative tone. An aluminum radiator with an electric fan efficiently manages engine temperature, while an Optima Red Top battery provides reliable starting power. Power steering and power discs up front offer confident control. The 10-bolt rear axle and added rear sway bar improve traction and handling.
