However, there is a clock in the gauge cluster, and the brief glimpse that we get of the console suggests that it might now sport a tach. The console raises one interesting point because this would have sported a clock when it was new. The El Camino was also ordered with air conditioning, but some components are missing from the engine bay. It appears that the El Camino’s original owner was partial to a spot of comfort, which explains why we find it equipped with bucket seats, a console, some timber trim on the dash, and power windows. It appears that the Chevy has lived its life in drier climes, and that is what has allowed it to remain so beautifully preserved. That means that the welder and grinder can stay in the cupboard, making this package more attractive with every passing moment. The beauty with this El Camino is more than skin-deep because the photos that the owner supplies of the underside show floors and a frame that are solid, clean, and rust-free. The trim and chrome are in excellent order, while the original owner ordered the vehicle with tinted glass that appears to be flawless. There is no visible rust, and while the paint in the bed is scuffed and scratched, there is no evidence of the type of damage that might indicate neglect, abuse, or a hard life. It will be interesting to see what our readers think of this and whether they would leave it untouched or return it to its factory state. I’m in two minds about this because while the black brings an air of menace to the El Camino, it still would have looked pretty attractive in its original shade. The tag indicates that the Chevy rolled off the line wearing Butternut Yellow paint, but it isn’t clear when the change occurred. It is worth noting that the color is not original. The black El Camino makes a positive impression immediately with panels that look impressively straight for a vehicle of this type and age. That means that a new owner is guaranteed to be only days away for this potent classic. I can ramp up the temptation by letting you know that this is a No Reserve auction. There have been a mere two bids submitted, which sees the price sitting at $12,100. If all of that sounds like a tempting proposition, you will find the El Camino located in Prescott, Arizona, and listed for sale here on eBay. It is also loaded with options that mean that the buyer can experience rapid motoring in comfort.
This is a master of deception because hiding below that unassuming exterior is a sleeper with a firebreathing big-block under the hood. That’s the case with this 1967 Chevrolet El Camino. Sometimes it’s the quiet ones that you have to watch out for.
