You're looking at a 1966 El Camino that came from California a few years ago. It was painted just before I got it. Although the paint job has no runs and is very shiny I would rate the paint job as driver quality, but not show quality. The transmission is thought to be the original 2 speed powerglide, which works well. The motor was completely rebuilt by Mike Lester, a man who's been rebuilding engines for over 40 years.The heads was completely gone thru as well as the complete block. It has new .040 over pistons, rings, bearings, seals, cam, etc. NO MILES since the rebuild. Being a California car there's hardly any rust. There is only one area of rust that I know of, which is behind the driver's seat next to the back of the cab = very small and an easy fix (see pic). I have parts of the chrome that goes around the back window, but I believe there may be a couple pieces missing. They are available thru Ebay. The interior needs completion. The A.C. is hooked up, but we did not charge it. The truck bed is lined with a rough coating to help protect the bed. In all for being 47 years old it's in amazing shape. Although it could be called a daily driver I could not, mainly because of the age of this truck. Compared to the work done there's very little left to make the truck a 30K+ show stopper. Of all of the years El Caminos were made this is my choice of the year made. I am not working on vehicles anymore because of my age and physical limitations. I don't plan on giving this vehicle away, but I do plan to sell this truck, so bid your best, and bid in confidence that I have not misled the condition in any way.This is a great representation of a 1966 El Camino and, hopefully will go to someone who will appreciate it for many years to come. Any questions please call Tom at 217-306-2821. The truck can be seen by appointment in Chestnut, Il. 62518. Thanks for looking!

Besides the motor rebuild we also replaced the drag link in the steering. The steering (power steering) is in very good condition now, and will need nothing.On Apr-11-13 at 13:21:28 PDT, seller added the following information: I HAVE TAKEN OFF THE RESERVE AND THE NEXT BID SHOULD ERASE THE RESERVE. BID YOUR BEST AS THIS EL CAMINO IS GOING TO FIND A NEW HOME AT THE END OF THIS AUCTION! THE NEW OWNER SHOULD BE THRILLED TO GET THIS ONE. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU.
