Is it a car? Is it a truck? It's an El Camino! These coupe utility vehicles were produced by Chevrolet from 1959-1960 and then again from 1964-1987. It was designed in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero and was based on the Chevelle platform. With these cars you get the style of an iconic muscle car with the usefulness that comes from having a pickup truck. This nice 1965 has belonged to the current owner for 3 years and has no history of accidents. The body is all rust free and painted in a nice bright Red paint. The bed is in good shape and has a nice tonneau bed cover in place. The original style chrome bumpers are in great shape and have a nice shine. It wears all of its original style trim as well which is all straight. The glass is in good condition throughout and is slightly tinted. It has a great stance and rides on a set of highly polished out custom 5 spoke wheels with new tires.
This Elky is powered by a smooth running 350ci V8 that is fitted with a new Holley 4 barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, finned Edelbrock valve covers, and a chrome alternator. That is then paired with a 4 speed manual transmission that transfers power back to the 10 bolt rear end. The AC system in it is all new and it blows nice and cold. It also has power brakes and power steering making it a very comfortable driver. The suspension system has all been gone through and it has new shocks throughout with air bags in the rear. It cruises down the highway well taching around 3,000 rpm at 70mph. While you're out and about if someone gets in your way the custom train air horn is sure to get their attention and utilizes the air tank mounted in the bed.
The interior is in good shape and it has a comfortable bench seat. It features Black upholstery with Gray cloth inserts. The dash is pretty much all stock so to avoid cutting it up the AC vents are mounted underneath as is the aftermarket Kenwood AM/FM/CD/Aux stereo. In front of the driver sits a stock style 3 spoke wheel with bowtie horn button and an added tachometer. Additional gauges have also been mounted under the dash.
This is a great driving El Camino that also shows well. The odometer shows 43,005 miles and it is ready to go!
