In its factory color of Marina Blue, this beautiful El Camino Custom is not just another pretty face. Under the
hood is its original 396 Big Block V8 managed by a 4-speed manual transmission. Rally wheels complete the
look. The new interior sports black bucket seats, column mounted tach and even an NOS clock. An El
Camino SS didnt arrive on the scene until 1968. This is Its equivalent in 1966. Call Jordan (612) 290-9299

INTRO/HISTORY:
Introduced in 1959 in response to Fords Ranchero, the El Camino has always been a popular classic and
when equipped with Big Block power they are formidable competitors on the street. This 66 is based on the
Chevelle Malibu and has equal amounts of class, style and muscle. Marina Blue is especially striking on one
of these and highlights those crisp lines perfectly. 1966 was the first year Chevy offered a 396 in the line-up
and this beautiful example retains its original. The 4-speed adds value and fun. Clean and clear title.

CLOSING:
A base model 66 El Camino featured a bench seat and rubber floor mats from the low-line Chevelle 300
series. This El Camino has the Custom package with an interior from the upscale Malibu featuring bucket
seats and carpeting. Well optioned Big Block 4-speed El Caminos from this era are highly sought after and
this one has all the right stuff. Chevelle had an SS in 66, but an El Camino SS didnt appear until 1968 which
explains why this one has all the same attributes except SS badging. This beautiful Elko is rare and desirable.
