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. ....

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.....
