1966 REAL L79 HIGHLY OPTIONED EL CAMINO CUSTOM!

1966 Chevrolet El Camino

THIS IS A GENUINE LOW MILEAGE HIGHLY OPTIONED L79 EL CAMINO CUSTOM. THIS CAR WAS BUILT 9/4/65 BEING ONE OF THE FIRST 66s ACCORDING TO # STAMPED ON THE PAD, FI0004EB. 2.O2 461 HUMP HEADS 4SPD POSI REAR ALL ORIGINAL WHEN I GOT IT IN APRIL OF 2012. LONG STORY SHORT SHORTLY AFTER GETTING IT, I TOOK IT TO SOMEONE WHO I HAD BEEN FRIENDS WITH NEARLY 20 YEARS TO HAVE SOME WORK DONE. HE'S HAS AN EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF RARE RIDES AND WAS THE ONLY ONE I TRUSTED TO WORK ON IT. I HAD TOWED TO HIS SHOP IN INDIO CA WHERE AFTER SITTING THERE FOR NEARLY 8 MOS. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR BACK AFTER HE KEPT CHANGING THE LABOR FOR BASICALLY DOING NOTHING MORE THAN AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT, THE ONE IT HAS NOW WHICH IS A 66 327 W HUMP HEADS. STILL HAS ORIGINAL 5 BLADE FAN AND DEEP GROOVE PULLEYS. WHEN HE GOT IT I HAD ONLY DRIVEN A FEW TIMES. BUT AFTER GETTING IT BACK I NOTICED A WEEK OR TWO LATER SOMETHING WAS OFF FROM BEFORE. SO I LOOKED AND THEN NOTICED THE ORIGINAL M22 AND 3.73 OR LOWER REAR END HAD BEEN SWAPPED WITH A NON POSI 3.08 AND AN M20 ALONG WITH ALL THE ORIG. SMOG EQUIP DELCO 61 AMP GENERATOR ORIGINAL POWER STEERING PUMP, 6 QT L79 OIL PAN ORIG. RADIO AND EVEN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WITH A HIGHER MILEAGE PITTED ONE. THE ORIGINAL REFLECTED AS DID EVERYTHING ELSE THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR JUST TURNING 23K. YOU CAN STILL SEE SOME OF THE BLACK FROM THE FACTORY BLACKED OUT GRILL. THE CAR WAS BUILT IN FREMONT WHERE I KNOW THAT AROUND 6 OF THESE L79 EL CAMS WERE BUILT AND ARE DOCUMENTED. SO, TO SUM IT UP IT'S A VERY STRAIGHT EARLY 66 L79 FREMONT BUILT BLACK PLATE LOW MILEAGE EL CAMINO. BEING THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DESERT IT HAS JUST A LITTLE RUST ON THE PASSENGER FRONT QUARTER AND THE REST IS SURFACE. THE PIC IS FROM WHEN I FIRST GOT IT AND BASICALLY THE SAME OUTSIDE APPEARANCE. ALSO HAVE ORIGINAL BLOCK AND HEADS ALTHOUGH CRACKED IT IS FIXABLE AFTER SENDING PICS TO BILL LOWE, FORMER NASCAR ENGINE BUILDER. CAR NEEDS A FEW THINGS TO BE HIGHWAY SAFE. CURRENT ENGINE RUNS GOOD AND WITH MY SCHEDULE I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME ANYMORE CAR HAS APPROX. 200 MILES ON REBUILT M20 LINKAGE NEEDS ADJUSTING THOUGH. UNDER CARRIAGE IS REALLY CLEAN AS IS ALL THE TRIM CONSIDERING ITS AGE AND REFLECTS THE MILEAGE. JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED I DON'T NEED TO SELL SO PLEASE NO LOWBALLERS, NOT LISTING JUST TO MOVE ON. OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU HAVE THE M22 3.73 LIMITED SLIP POSI, AND BAGS ETC. YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF HAVING A $70-80K FACTORY L79 AFTER BEING RESTORED. L79 NOVAS AND CHEVELLES ETC. GO ANYWHERE FROM $90-120K LOW MILEAGE RESTORED. ANY QUESTIONS CALL 760-285-6308 THANKS! PICS ARE AS I FOUND IT AND AFTER GETTING IT HOME THAT DAY. WILL LOAD MORE PICS LATER, AND TITLE IS CLEAR.
