The El Caminowas first produced in 1959 ABOUT 2nd Generation El Camino: In our research we found El Caminos had a limited production - in 1965 total of 34,724 produced. Production of 1964 El Camino Total 32,548 and the 1966 El Camino Total was 35,119, with the 1967 El Camino Total of 34,830. Finding a 1965 in this solid excellent condition is like finding a high quality gem. Chevy introduced the second generation El Camino based on the Chevelle model that lasted only until 1967. The '65 El Camino received a body upgrade to match the Chevelle model for that year. The front end was shaped like almost like an arrow, or "V", which gave the Chevelle a sleeker, more aerodynamic look that fed into the muscle car appeal. Chevy at last offered a more powerful 396 cubic inch V8 engine (6.5 liter) with a horsepower rating of 325 to 375 for the 1966 El Camino, so the 386 V8 in this '65 was an upgrade made by an owner to this 1965 El Camino. So much fun to drive as a muscle car.

The series depiction on the VIN plate does NOT have the meaning as the Fisher Body Number plate. The Vehicle Identification Number plate (VIN) has similar information to the trim tag such as the model, year, and assembly plant. One difference is the last six numbers relating to the assembly plant sequence as opposed to the trim tag's Fisher Body sequence and the series will designate a 6-cyl (odd third digit) or V8 (even third digit) on the VIN plate where the 3rd digit on the trim tag does not. About the production sequential starting number: The sequential starting number for the 1965 Chevelle was 100001 at all U.S. Chevelle assembly plants. Each assembly plant sequenced Chevelles of all series/models without regard to specific series / models. For example, if a series 13435 station wagon followed a 13667 Malibu convertible, the sequence number would be one unit higher for the wagon. It's also entirely possible to have the same sequence number from all five 1965 U.S. assembly plants with the only difference between the VIN's being the plant code. Production at the Kansas City plant exceeded 100,000 units sometime in mid to late June so the VIN sequence from that time frame to the end of production would be 2nnnnn for the Kansas City plant.

TIP: Make sure you look atall thequalities this has to offer you- read all the written information in ad and coming along with us on a virtual tour through videos. ----- Remember the good ol' days ... with this 1965 El Camino you own a piece of the past. So popular, models were built to scale as collectibles They're often referred to as cars, trucks, and sometimes even "crucks" - but we think of them as just really cool. The Chevy El Camino: Aname that comes from the Spanish word that defines the road or the path. She is built on the A-body platform (as were all '64-'87s). This El Camino was a combination of the raw performance and handsome styling of the Chevelle / Malibu, while offering vehicle buyers the utility of a pickup truck - all in one awesome beautiful and functional package. First introduced on October 16, 1958, Chevrolet began to sell a car-truck hybrid that it called the El Camino. It was inspired by the Ford Ranchero that had already been on the market for two years. The 1959 El Camino was a combination sedan-pickup truck built on the Impala body, with same "cat's eye" taillights and dramatic rear fins. What made this introduction of the El Camino a legend in the auto industry was thatit was born and bred at an especially exciting time in America -- right in the middle of the birth of the muscle car wars of the '60s.

For years, farmers in Australia had been using vehicles called Utes to tote goods and equipment back and forth from farm to market. Allegedly the story goes the idea came about in the 1930s when a woman wrote a letter to Ford Australia - asking for a vehicle that could carry them to church on Sunday and take the pigs to market on Monday. This simple request eventually led to Ford's creation of the Ranchero for U.S. markets, and the El Camino followed two years later.

We invite and welcome your input, opinions, comments, and questions. Let us know - just contact us, thanks! NOTE: We like to show you all of the details we noted so we use close up photos as much as we can. You will see we include many close up photos in our ads — with close up photos be aware that things you normally you would not see at all - like the tiniest lint or spec of dust in close up photos the lint or dust will appear magnified, huge, but just dust. When you're looking at the vehicle in person you do not usually even see any of the lint or dust. So as the saying goes, excuse our dust <wink>. Even though this vehicle was only given a cursory cleaning prior to the photo & video shoot, this vehicle and its condition and state of readiness at all times showshe has been pampered by her owner. It will be dulycleaned prior to your pickup or shipment to you. Some photos in this ad, because of lighting conditions, may appear unclear or appear to have shadows. No matter how many photos we try and do show, the vehicle always looks better in person. You will absolutely love her when you first see her! ----- Comments Knobs, levers, headlamps, horn, wipers, tail and signal lights, etc have been checked by Team Vehltor® and also an outside vehicle service company inspected this vehicle — things on this vehicle are in proper working condition, no worries! (If we found something anywher, see NOTE below and red text.) Interior: Exceptionally well done inside, most of it's like new. See mention and photos of some pitting on chrome on center console. Otherwise all chrome on the entire vehicle is outstanding and appears like new. Seats, door panels, dash, glass are all in excellent condition. Please review the ad text description in all areas and captions under the photos for known details about condition of the interior. Exterior: Exceptionally clean and solid in every way - all around, underneath (see all photos). One tire has the slightest spot of dry rot starting on the inside, the other three none was noted (quite common if your car sits for long periods of time in balmy Florida, or maybe parked near a heat vent while stored). Please review the text description for more details about condition of the exterior. Overall the exterior looks like new. NOTE: #1) APPEARANCE ITEMS: There are a couple paint blems, again they are shown in blem area below. #2) Tiny scratch in one chrome trim piece (see blem area) Anything we mention noted - you can see it in blem areas section. #3) Passenger side vent window chrome trim deteriorated in one corner, trim needs replacement (see blem area). Mechanically: The engine fires right up, runs so smooth. Pump the pedal twice and away you go. The mechanic who inspected this 1965 El Camino comment was "over all nice ride". Indeed she is. Just a couple things were noted that need attending. A couple small leaks were noted mechanically: see the mechanic inspection PDF for the entire report - oil seal and pan gasket needed; transmission cooler and output shaft seal on the transmission seeping. One starter bolt should be replaced. Back up lights do not work, high beam dash indicator not working (high beams themselves work great). 4-way flasher knob will not depress (steering wheel trim from the sport steering wheel prevents it from being depressed for 4-way flashers). Otherwise ready for the road. Just fill it up with gas and this rocket will soar to high speed smoothly!! Enjoy the Vehltor® Virtual Video Tourâ„¢ as you accompany Team Vehltor® on a road test and experience this fantastic vehicle out on the open road. Other than mentioned items nothing else known is needed. Please review description for other details. ----- BLEM AREAS SECTION Touch up on nick if you choose, but as you can see all blems are hard to see, this El Camino is beautiful and clean in every way. Absolutely in amazing condition. Or, simply don't worry about it, none of the appearance items affect functionality in any way.
