The trim tag located on the firewall decodes as follows: Photographs of the engine block stamping are provided in the gallery and match the final six digits of the VIN shown on the chassis tag. Modifications consist of an aftermarket carburetor and exhaust headers. The 396ci Turbo Jet V8 is said to have been overhauled approximately ten years ago and is topped with a chrome air cleaner housing. The seller has reportedly added approximately 15k miles over the last three years. The five-digit odometer shows 12k miles, though total mileage is unknown. The two-spoke steering wheel frames a horizontal 120-mph speedometer and an optional underdash “Knee-Knocker” tachometer along with gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The seller notes the dash-mounted clock does not keep accurate time.
Equipment includes lap belts, vent windows, a heater, a push-button AM/FM radio, and a Hurst shifter.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Rally-style 15″ wheels with bright trim rings and Chevrolet-branded hub caps wear BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial redline tires. The bed is lined with a black textured coating, and exterior features include “396 Turbo Jet” fender badging, an SS-style hood, and a chrome grille, rocker panel trim, bumpers, and window surrounds. The car left the factory finished in Marina Blue and is said to have been repainted approximately ten years ago. This El Camino is offered with transferable British Columbia registration. The car was acquired by the seller in Canada in 2018 and was reportedly the subject of a refurbishment carried out approximately a decade ago, which is said to have included a repaint as well as overhauling the engine and differential.

Done with an El Camino that received an LS3 swap good for 525 horsepower, along with a Tremec six-speed transmission, Ridetech coilovers all around, and other goodies.īut it’s only logical they attempted this with the Chevy: “ we rarely drive it, and when we do it, (the car) usually breaks down for a lot of reasons.This 1966 Chevrolet El Camino is finished in blue over black vinyl and powered by a 396ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. After all, the restored El Camino was passed down in her family from generation to generation.Īnyways, one gets to see the presentation on the road from the two-minute mark, followed by the lake shenanigans from the 4:25 mark. Chances are slim, though, if she notices the trailer hitch. Besides, she “ does not watch my YouTube channel,” so he might even escape unpunished. With the “ wifey” not at home, the idea was to modify her pristine ‘69 El Camino into the “perfect” rig for said duty. And, of course, he needed a vehicle to tow them around. A 2021 Yamaha Superjet and a yet-to-be-released 2022 Yamaha Jet Blaster Waverunner. But Mike also had a couple of jet skis at hand. A day out on the lake for some cool (and presumably quick) summer road trip fun, it seems. Let’s back up a little bit to the part where Finnegan explains what this is all about. That almost happened to Mike, at the 15:05 mark, before restarting the engine in first gear and cleanly performing the trail of smoke. One word of advice: don’t start in second gear because one might end up with a clutch barbeque. Then you can find a backroad and perform a burnout with the jet skis attached to the quirky yet lovable car/pickup truck mashup. So, all you need is a perfectly restored 1969 Chevy El Camino, a couple of personal watercrafts, as well as a trailer. Four, sorry, I almost forgot about the derelict, ten-year-forgotten trailer hitch assembly that will get bolted onto the vehicle. It’s a narrow one, for sure, so he might be first at it.
