The first car my twin and I ever drove was our uncle's El Camino ('66 or '67?), out in his yard. It wasn't an SS, but did have the 396 in it. Loved that car. We'd borrow it from our aunt after uncle passed away, we'd cruise the neighborhood trying to look cool and pick up chicks (never did LOL). The car burned rubber like crazy.
The old "bootlegger's box" - glad to see they kept it and didn't smooth it over. Great looking El Camino and with that engine, it'll haul in more than one way. Thank you High Octane Classics, Super Shane, and Mr Magnante ~ Chuck
this was a common car in my high school 79-82. 1500 bought you a plain jane straight runner, 3800 got you a cherry one with a bigger engine. i drove a 68 maroon camero. 1800, bought with my own money at 16.
Hope you feel as good as you look Steve! Lots of faceless no names out here that are extremely happy to see you out on the Battlefield doing what you love man .
Yup, 1967 model year with the VIN (from the HOC website) for the win: 1 for Chevrolet, 36 for Malibu V8, 80 for pickup delivery body, 7 for 1967 model year, K for Kansas City, MO assembly, and the rest is the production sequence. The Kansas City MO assembly plant was also called "Leeds Assembly" and operated from 1929 to 1988. It was only recently demolished. No tag, can't brag, so we don't know how this one was originally. "El Camino" is Spanish for "The Way" or "The Path".
1967 was a special year @ Chevrolet- New Camaro, New C-10, Last year (BEST Year) of the C-2 Corvette and a one off style for the Malibu/Chevelle/El Camino...
I would rather have an old-school GM Big Block than any LS. I've always preferred mechanical over electronic in vehicles. And the older I get. The stronger my feelings get about it. These modern vehicles have too much unnecessary technology. They seal everything up so you can't fix anything. They just want you to waste and replace. They're just disposable appliances. Modern vehicles may expel fewer emissions. But they're causing 10 times as much pollution. All the plastic and electronic parts that don't last and aren't repairable end up in landfills. Meanwhile old cars like this are made of mostly steel that can be repaired. And even when it's beyond repair, can be easily recycled. Although I don't want to see any classic vehicle recycled until it has been used up and has no more usable parts left on it. Rant over. Thanks for reading😊
Reminiscent of Ferarri? There's no need to equate a horse & a fish & I say this with no malice, but a handbuilt low production Italian & a factory multi thousand 'Murcan have 0 in common & don't need any....
Steve is a national treasure. Always educating us with something.
Glad to see Steve doing videos again.
If you've always wanted a car like this, raise your hand 🤚
Very cool El Camino! A friend of mine had its cousin, the GMC Caballero. Thanks so much Steve. Have a great weekend! 🙏🏼

Great review Steve!
Id put some Keystone Classics wrapped with some Tiger Paws on her. Now that is one filled engine compartment. What a beautiful piece of work.
Absolutely agree with you on every point you've made.
i like el camino.

I always hated the El Camino and Ranchero. Is it a car or a truck? It's a vehicle going through an identity crisis!
