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..

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...

Anyone who asked me if the engine was the actual engine that came with the car was informed that it was not. The car is an original L78. The protect-o-plate, owners manual, and salesman`s business car has been with the car since it was new. it was ordered by Joe Corbo (name misspelled on pop as Carbo) from Dooley Brothers Chevrolet in Somerville, NJ. I can document at least 2 other owners besides Joe & myself. The car never left the area. It is not a fake as stated by mysterychevelle. If the pop decodes that the rear is dated after the delivery date, there was obviosuly a mistake made by Chevrolet. This pop is not a fake. Please. The current engine has the correct casting numbers and the pad has been restamped with the correct numbers. Again, this is an original, unrestored, L78 El Camino. The original owner, now in his late 60`s, is still living at the same address that is on the pop. He can tell anyone in detail, about how he got the car. He also had a 68 L88 Corvette that he ordered and took delivery of. He had a great sotry about how he had to go pick the car up at port. They couldnt get it started. he told them not to touch it and when he arrived, the hood was open and the windshield was black. I don`t think the L88 had a choke.

Thanks for posting and welcome to the site. I had bid on it and when I asked you if it was the orig. engine you were up front and told me the orig was long gone. Still a cool truck I would like to own.
