Black Plate Special
1965 Chevrolet El Camino
This killer 1965 Chevrolet El Camino is a fresh arrival from Fremont, CA, and still has its current CALIFORNIA BLACK PLATES and registration along with a California title!
This car was originally made in the Fremont Plant, and spent its whole life soaking up the California sun and dry, arid climate!
A few years ago, the original Ermine White finish on the car was professionally redone in a period correct Artesian Turquoise Metallic over the original straight, rust-free, and rot free body panels, and it shows wonderfully today as you can see in the 85 EXTRA LARGE photos and the walk-around video of the car.
HERE IS A VIDEO LINK FOR A WALK-AROUND OF THE CAR:

There are the typical small little marks like stone chips, little scuffs, and other miniscule blemishes every car that has been driven will get, but NO damage, NO disrepair, NO large scrapes or key marks, NO dents or divots, and nothing that takes away from the overall show-quality appearance of the truck as you can see in the photos.
I HAVE NOT FORMALLY DETAILED THE CAR!
I want you to see what a REAL, non-photoshopped, honest car looks like, so all I do is wash them, wipe them down, and spray them off with Turtle Wax QUICKSHINE spray. Imagine how amazing this thing will look when you get it home and really lay it out! WOW!
Gaps are remarkably good, thanks to having all the original panels intact, and fit and finish of everything from the doors to the tail gate is exceptional.
Glass on the car is in great condition, with no cracks, chips, splits, or issues, and all of the rubber weather stripping, felts, scrapers, and seals are in great shape as well, thanks to a lifetime of indoor storage and care in the California air.
Factory bed trim, side trim, mirrors, tail light trim, and rear window trim are either clean chrome or have been professionally polished.
Grill is in great condition, and is bright and shiny too.
Front and rear bumpers are in great shape appearance-wise, but the very underside of both shows flaking and marks in spots. Nothing you can see while looking at the car, but when it is up on a lift, you may notice it.
The car has THE PERFECT STANCE thanks to a combination of lowering springs, performance shocks, performance sway bars, and recently rebuilt steering and suspension components from front to back.
It looks so nice that it actually won the GOODGUYS DEL MAR Sponsors pick for BEST 60's at the show a few years back, as shown in the magazine artice photo attached, and the GOODGUYS WINNER decal in the windshield!
It has an exceptionally good ride, that allows for soaking up bumps and still lets you have fun in the corners without excessive body roll.
Billet Specialties supplied the VINTEC 18” show-polished rims on the car, and they look so good that Billet Specialties used THIS EXACT CAR in the advertisement for the VINTEC wheels in catalogs and media worldwide! The rims still shows wonderfully, and there MAY be a mark or two if you really start digging, but I am going to call them close to perfect at all four corners.
They are wrapped in Michelin ZR rated radial tires size 225/40ZR18 up front and 275/40ZR18 out back, and all tires are in damage free condition with at least 70% of the useable tread life remaining on them.
Power drum brakes at all four corners are perfectly dialed in, and you can jam on the brakes full-force and it stops on a dime without any pulling, wander, stabbing, or excess fade.
Power steering is so easy that ANYONE can feel at home behind the wheel.
Originally born a CUSTOM V8, the car is currently equipped with a GM 350ci motor that was application-built for the car. It is a 4-bolt main, and equipped with a Holley Manifold, electric choke on a 600cfm Holley carb, HEI electronic ignition, Accel SuperCOIL, chrome high-flow water pump and pulleys, and Headman Headers mated to a custom-made dual exhaust that sounds AMAZING from the driver seat and even better from the curb!
The motor is dressed with just enough show-polished goodies like billet ball-milled air cleaner and valve covers to make it sparkle at a show, and you’ll want to show it with the hood up thanks to the clean firewall, fender tubs, and finished hood underside.
Power gets to the 10-Bolt conventional rear axle via a 350 Turbo Transmission that is geared to be fun off the line, but still allow for 65mph interstate cruises without taxing the powertrain. I have had the car up to a GPS verified 90mph, and it rips right along, and it also has more than enough power to smoke the tires with a press of the go-pedal!
Shifting is smooth and easy, with no jarring shift-kits to deal with.
Power comes on smooth and fluid in any gear, and the kick down settings all work like they should too.
The car starts and idles cleanly, has a great rumble to it, and the electric choke makes it easy to be drive-away ready no matter if the car is hot or cold.
Snick it into gear, and just enjoy the ride. There are NO known issues with the cars performance and handling, and it is simply point and shoot to whatever destination you are trying to reach.
The car DOES NOT GET HOT, even in our horrible Florida humidity! I have been stuck in beach traffic for 45 minutes going to a cruise night, and not even ONCE did it show signs of getting steamed up! I just drove it from Fort Myers to Tampa, FL for the NSRA show last weekend, and it went 2.5 hours up AND back without any issues whatsoever!
I have probably put about 350 miles on this car myself since it arrived from California, and it is just a blast to take out on the highway, or cruise downtown with.
EVERYONE loves it, and it gets more thumbs-up and waves than you could ever ask for!
Inside the car, all of the interior was redone back when it was painted, and it still shows wonderfully, and damage free, to this day.
A medium turquoise dash pad matches the door panels, kick panels, and reupholstered split bench seat. All of the material is in exceptional condition, with no rips, tears, or seam pulls.
Carpeting is in very good condition, and clean and damage free all the way from the firewall to the back wall.
Side seat trim is polished to a gleaming shine.
Factory gauge cluster is in great condition, and everything appears to working like it should in the gauge department too, except for the speedo being about 7mph off from GPS, which is common on most old cars.
17,566 is what the odometer says, but the car is sold as mileage EXEMPT with the current California title.
All of the switches and functional items in the car work as they should, like the headlamp switch, wiper switch, turn signal control arm, and high beam switch.
12V socket is intact and shows that it is providing a charge to my phone, but the cigar lighter does not get hot.
Heater/Fan controls work like they should, and direct air at multiple speeds to the correct locations.
Side vents work like they should.
A RetroSound audio system provides AM/FM/USB/MP3/Streaming audio capabilities from a classic looking head unit, and it sounds good enough to make singing to your favorite tracks while cruising the boulevard fun!
Glovebox works like it should, and has a functional lined interior as well.
Wood rim steering wheel with Chevy center logo looks great, and is fit to the factory column with functional gear selector arm and indicator.
Headliner is solid, clean, and undamaged, and has matching dual sun visors and a functional dome light too!
Door pulls, window rollers, arm rests, and Chevy door panel trim all look and function wonderfully.
Doors themselves are clean, rust, rot, and issue free all the way around, and don’t sag or droop on either side.
Door jambs and inners are in clean, exceptional condition, and remember that the car HAS NOT BEEN FORMALLY DETAILED by me! I just wash them, wipe them down with Turtle Wax QuickSHINE spray, and let you see what the car REALLY looks like! No photoshop department with me.
Bed is solid, straight, and issue free, and has been covered with a light coat of RHINO LINER since the car was painted to make it useable and water resistant too. It is solid, rust, rot, and issue free, and the tail gate is exceptioanlly clean as well. The RHINO LINER is a thin coat, and could be easily media blasted away should you wish for a painted surface to match the color. I was even thinking that a tonneau cover would look kind of cool too!
This is a head-turning, great driving, and EXCEPTIONALLY straight and solid California car that is ready for a new home.
It has been safety checked, and is ready for you to fly in and drive home wherever you want to take it.
