Re: eBay '66 L78 El'Camino
Very nice ride, good color. Did you notice how the tail gate was in the down position for the vintage drag racing photo? Every little bit helps!!!!

Re: eBay '66 L78 El'Camino
Mythbusters killed that myth. At least mileage was better with the tailgate in the upward position because of the turbulence it created.

Re: eBay '66 L78 El'Camino
It does not state that it still has the orig engine so I asked the seller. He informed me it is all dated and stamped correctly but the orig engine is long gone. Neat truck..

Re: eBay '66 L78 El'Camino
Another example of the Scum that is out there!! and another example of how we must all read between the lines, ask all the questions, do our homework and not get taken in by emotion! The add says NUMBERS MATCHING... I had been in contact with seller for days, exchanging pictures and docs., etc.. and no mention about the restamped Block, though I had already concluded it was fake from the pictures.. so then when asked straight out.. yes., you get that answer!! Trans is not original either.. Rear is not original.... but oh wooppie!!! another USED TO BE car that we should all pay top $$ for.. NOT!
 Numbers Matching, the new name = Numbers Recreation like the clones out there.. I am sure some NUMBER matches another NUMBER on this car though...

I need to see that episode of mythbusters as I surely thought more turbulence with gate up as evidenced by the whirlwinds moving light items about in the bed. When the gate is down, things seem to stay put. I am taking a 1200 mile trip soon and was planning on leaving my tailgate home!! Whats the facts here? Oh, by the way, cool elCamino. My first Chevy was a '67

Re: eBay '66 L78 El'Camino
Noticed he was running A/Stock from the vintage pix. That surprised me. I thot that his truck would be too heavy to run that class. What was the weight of a '66 El Camino w/ an L78?
