Thanks for the photos Jim .. :D

Some details:



1. Solid Vehicle in correct factory color = Ermine White.

2. 327 cu. in. 275 hp. ALL Numbers Match! .. :shock:

3. Mild after-market 'Bump-stick' installed. No big deal.. :eusa-naughty:

4. Factory installed Saginaw Foe-Speed Transmission.

5. Correct Shifter In Unmolested Condition = Rare.

6. 308:1 Rear Gear. Not Posi-Traction.

7. New Brakes All The Way Around.

8. Stainless Steel Trim Looks Like Chrome.

9. No Motor, Transmission or Rear Gear Lube Leaks Anywhere... :dance:

10. Has a CO state title.



I plan to 'peddle' this kool little 'pick-em-up-truck' around every now and then.



And I Love To Row A 'Ole School Foe-Speed! ... :auto-layrubber: :auto-driving: ... :mrgreen:

Thanks Mike. Research indicates it's lived it's entire life in CO. Don't see many of them around these days in such pristine condition. .... :mrgreen:

Hello to All of my friends, neighbors and loved ones..Emoji



My Good Buddy Gary delivered this Beautiful '66 Chevy El Camino to me recently. It is a restored original and Rock Solid in Every Way!..Emoji All numbers match which means it retains the factory installed Motor, Transmission, Rear Axle, Body Panels, etc.. It runs and drives like a brand new truck!



Unlike some of my other vehicles I will 'Peddle' it to car shows, rallies, special events and cruz-ins. Yeppers, I'll Drive this piece of American Automotive History where and when I want to..Emoji



Enjoy and more photos later.....

1. Original Color = Ermine White.







2. Cargo Bay - 6x4 Feet.







3. Interior. Four-speed (pronounced 'Foe-speed' in the south) Manual Transmission.
