29-Years-Owned 350-Powered 1966 Chevrolet El Camino 4-Speed

Description

Introduced for the 1964 model year, the second-generation Chevrolet El Camino was redesigned on the Chevelle platform, offering a longer wheelbase, improved ride quality, and a broader range of powertrain options than before. By ‘66, the El Camino wore a clean, squared-off design with subtle refinements, while maintaining its unique blend of passenger-car comfort and pickup utility. Today, these Chevelle-based examples are popular foundations for tasteful performance builds that combine classic styling with modern drivability.

This 1966 Chevrolet El Camino was reportedly purchased by the seller from its original owner in 1997 and has since been upgraded with a range of modifications aimed to increase performance and driveability. Refinished in Nassau Blue, this El Camino features a steel cowl hood and a black Line-X bed liner. The interior has been reworked with a Glide Engineering seat upholstered by Fast Ed’s of Gardena, California, along with AutoMeter auxiliary gauges and a column-mounted tachometer.

Power comes from a small-block 350 cubic-inch V8 reportedly fitted with AFR cylinder heads, an Edelbrock intake and carburetor, and Hooker long-tube headers. The engine is paired with a Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission with a Hurst shifter and a Lakewood scattershield bellhousing. Additional modification include Global West suspension components, QA1 coilovers, a CPP four-wheel disc brake conversion, and a set of classic 15-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels.

This 350-powered 1966 Chevrolet El Camino is now offered with a clean California title in the seller’s name.
