I needed tuition money for my sophomore year of college and I had more money in the engine than the rest of the car, so I put the 283 back in and sold the Camino to one of my buddies. I put a mildly built ’69 Chevelle 300 hp 350, 3 angle valve job 1.94 heads, Chet Herbert solid lifter can, Edelbrock Torker with a 650 cfm Holley. In high school I bought a ’67, 283 3 spd overdrive ElCamino. Have any of you owned a second-generation El Camino? Would you keep this car the way it is, or put the rebuilt 327 back in? How about the cap/topper: yea or nay?Ģnd gen. The current 350 runs and drives great, according to the seller. I would change engines asap back to the original 327, but that’s just me. The original 327 cubic-inch V8 was replaced by the current 350 V8, but the original 327 was rebuilt and it comes with the sale. There are actually two engines that come with this El Camino.

With the rest of the car being so clean, I expected to see a clean engine compartment and a couple of hours of detailing might have helped to kick up the value a bit. The seat is another thing that throws me off, is that original? I can’t imagine that color or pattern being original vinyl, but they say that this vehicle is all-original.
#66 CHEVY EL CAMINO FOR SALE WINDOWS#
I know, it’s the little things that turn me on, but I’m an options guy and I think that it’s cool to see power windows here. Another amazing thing for me to see is power windows on an El Camino of this vintage! I have never seen power windows on a Chevelle of this era, ever, and seeing them on a “truck” is amazing. They say that this is an all-original one-owner car which is pretty amazing. I’m not sure if I would leave that “canopy” or topper/cap on there, would you? The bed has been covered since the 1960s and it’s in perfect condition, according to the seller.

#66 CHEVY EL CAMINO FOR SALE DRIVER#
They say that this is a barn find / unrestored project / daily driver and I’m not quite sure which of those descriptions best fits this good looking El Camino. The seller mentions that the paint is showing some cracking in spots and it has a new tailgate included due to the original one being dented. Hagerty is at $18,000 for a #3 good condition ’66 El Camino with a 327 so there may be a long way to go on this auction. The seller doesn’t mention the condition of the body at all so you’ll have to ask them and/or try to set up an inspection if that’s a concern. This one looks great in the photos but they’re pretty small so it’s hard to tell what the details look like or see the condition of the body. Even though the next-gen cars are by far the most popular, the second-generation cars are my personal favorites. This is a second-generation El Camino and they were made from 1964 to 1967. This one-owner 1966 Chevrolet El Camino can be found here on eBay in Vancouver, Washington with a bid price of just over $7,600. Coming onto the market a couple of years after Ford’s Ranchero, the El Camino lasted until 1987, several years after the Ranchero was sent out to pasture.
