I got this car last year and have decided to sell it to get some capital for a business I am starting (also selling an awesome Honda CB750 for the same reason if you’re interested). That is why this beautiful car is up here with NO RESERVE. I really wanted this car as a long-term driver/project, as it is my favorite year of El Camino, but I am going to have to wait. Link here is to a video of the car  1967 El Camino 396   The El Camino is in perfect shape to be a useable project car. It runs strong and feels great to drive. After its warmed up car fires right up on the first try and the transmission feels tight and shifts clean. Power steering is working well, the steering wheel is easy to turn even when stopped or moving slowly. The things I have personally added to this great elco are the brand new caps and beauty rings on the Chevy rally wheels (from Original Parts Group). Car has 15 inch rally wheels in the back and 14 inchers in the front to give it a more aggressive stance and the correct sizes of caps and rings for both sizes. Brand new headlight bezels and trim in the front on the sides of the grill. Car is the original color for its paint code “RR”, which is Bolero Red, one of the most desirable colors for Chevelles and El Caminos of this era. As you can see in the pictures paint looks absolutely amazing. Some of the areas inside the bed have started to crack with age, but the car is still a total stunner and gets attention everywhere on the road. Interior is black with a leather bench seat, which is in good condition with few nicks and tears (see pictures). Black headliner is nearly perfect with no sags or rips. The black carpet does not have rips, but has started to fade from age/sun and is kind of brown in some areas. Car is an original 396. I am not sure if the engine in it now is the original, but it is definitely a big block. According to the previous owner it was rebuilt 10,000 miles before he sold it to me. (I’ve put a couple thousand on it since I bought it last year.) It runs strong and sounds completely beastly. Has a stock carb and still has enough speed to scare yourself. Transmission is a turbo 400 and feels clean when it shifts, no lag etc. I had the steering column totally rebuilt less than 100 miles ago so it does not feel sloppy when you’re shifting from park as most old automatics tend to feel. Bottom of bed has bed liner in it to keep away the bed rust El Caminos are so infamous for, but it looks awesome as well. The black against the red really pops The issues I would love to fix on the car are that it leaks oil, not sure from where, but for your driveways sake you will probably eventually want to get that fixed. It is not enough to affect the cars drive ability but it will leave stains when parked. Also the car needs some electrical work, as the taillights, gas gauge, dash lights and high beams do not work. Low beam headlights work well and selector switch (by your feet to switch between high and low beams) works fine. This wasn’t an issue for me as I have another car and only drove the El Camino around during the day, but it will at some point need to be addressed. The previous owner installed a kill switch that is actually pretty cool. It is under the dash and the car will not start without the switch being on. Probably the most clever theft deterrent I have ever seen. However, I think that it may be the culprit on the electrical issues, it has never caused the car to stall or malfunction, it’s just a hunch. It seems to me a new wiring harness would quickly fix all of the issues at once, but I have simply run out of time to install one myself. Car has a Kenwood Stereo with CD and AUX input, Two Kenwood speakers in the back behind the seats. It’s not currently hooked up to power because I disconnected it trying to hunt down the taillight/dashlight problem, but speakers and antenna are wired to it and stereo works great Has gas-a-just adjustable shocks in the rear to increase or decrease the height of the rear. This El Camino is all around a great car and would be a great addition to a classic car collection or a first step into classic muscle cars. The ‘67 just hzas so much personality and this car is no exception. Feel free to email me with questions about it. If you are in the southern California area I encourage you to come by and see it in person, you will not be disappointed.
