Up for sale in the Houston showroom is one gorgeous muscle car, The 1966 Chevrolet El Camino. Chevrolet introduced the El Camino first in 1959 as a result of a suggestion from automotive great Harley Earl. The "Coupe Utility" was based off of the Brookwood two door station wagon, and offered a full sized pickup bed in a highly styled, low slung sedan body. The vehicle was an immediate success, outselling it's Ford competitor the Ranchero nearly 2 to 1. The second generation starting in '64 based the vehicle off of the Chevelle chassis, but initially did not offer the high horsepower Chevelle power plants. In '65 a slight facelift was introduced as well as the availability of more engines including a hot 350 HP 327 CI V8. This particular '66 model sports a 355 CI V8 backed by an Turbo 350 3 speed automatic automatic transmission. Equipment includes: Power brakes, am/fm/cd player, vinyl seats, seat belts and aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in performance radial tires. The vehicle is finished in an unmistakable coat of white which screams classic Chevy. Set it on a set of staggered 17" wheels and this is one monster little truck. The interior features clean with black vinyl upholstery, a bench seat, floor shifter, subwoofers, and seat belts. This vehicle would be at home at a local car cruise or car show. The car runs and drives very well and makes a sweet sound.
