Chevrolet El Camino 1967 Description

You're looking at a 1967 Chevrolet El Camino with a numbers-matching small-block that can give the big boys a run for their money. Yes, hat's right, his 'lil hauler has the legendary L79 under it hood, nd a Muncie four-speed...And you thought you were just attracted to this one because of its good looks. This is really the holy grail El Camino. This hot '67 is only one of five L79 El Caminos currently listed in the National L79 Registry, nd this one is truly the prize. It was sold new in Oregon and spent nearly 45 years in that area, ith all of its original components. Then in 2012 this Chevy was given a complete frame off restoration from the ground up. That's why the bodywork looks straighter than even any Tuesday car that came out of the Fremont, alifornia facility. On top of that is fresh paint that takes GM's iconic shade of Marina Blue, ut gives it a much more modern and deep shine than the factory ever could. Even the truck bed shines with a look-at-me quality. This transformation back to factory fresh would not be compete without the chrome and stainless trim being in immaculate condition, n everything from the wide grille, o the ribbed rear end that can make a tailgate still look like a Chevelle. The final touch gives you a nice choice between large Torq Thrust style wheels, n modern low-profile tires, r original-style painted steel wheels with bright bow-tie hubcaps and Firestone Wide Oval redline tires this El Camino comes with both!The moment you open the door, ou'll swear it's 1967, nd that's for a very good reason. The complete restoration included putting the factory interior back to original spec. The black vinyl bench has the kind of cushioning that feels like no one else ever sat here before. The wood-rimmed sports steering wheel feels ready to be warn-in by a loving caretaker. Even the heat/defrost controls glide with ease. It has the kind of atmosphere that you know you'll love resting your right hand on the shifter and watching the needle rapidly climb on the extra wide speedometer.As we've mentioned before under the hood is the numbers-matching, R code, 79 327 cubic-inch V8 motor. But it's not just the block that's correct in this exceptionally clean engine bay. That's the original Holley 3806 carburetor sitting on top of a Winters intake that feeds factory-spec 462 heads. Are you starting to get the picture on this one? This El Camino has one of those legendary factory underrated engines with an advertised 325 horsepower. It was a feared package even by the big blocks in the 60s, nd today it's a sought-after collectable that offers a wicked exhaust rumble. It only gets better with the original Muncie four-speed manual transmission, acked up by a factory-installed 12-bolt Positraction rear end running a versatile 3.55 ratio. As expected with this level of restoration, he suspension has also been rebuilt correctly, ncluding Saginaw steering gear, nd rebuilt drum brakes with boxed control arms, nd correct spiral shocks. Now you can be confident in driving this classic even with its pristine original appearance.In a cared for car like this, t should be no surprise that it comes with plenty of documentation such as the original warranty card, wner's manual, nd plenty of restoration receipts.
