Could be

from what I understand the SS for an El Camino was not aval until 68 but any engine size could have been ordered in 66.

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!!!!

[COPO_Anders]

Mythbusters killed that myth. At least mileage was better with the tailgate in the upward position because of the turbulence it created.

Wow!! I remember Dooley Chevrolet from my younger years riding with Mom and the AM radio on. We cruise somerville every Friday night ion the summer..always 200 cars or better

Al, for a minute i thought it was a laffin car, nice camino though.did Bill see it yet?

That's a pretty nice car. A friend had a 360hp 66 in that color a few years ago, but it had the doggie dish hubcaps on it. He sold it to someone in the US.
That trophy photo shows it with a set of aftermarket wheels on it. I haven't seen those for years. Does anyone remember what the brand name was? Rader comes to mind, but that may not be.

Ron... I haven't seen it, but I keep hearing about it. I'm not really into 66 Caminos, but this looks like a good one.

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..
