The interior, according to the seller, is new, and other than the worn steering wheel, it looks it. The seller mentions that he still has the original air cleaner. Of course, the neat calling card is the Saginaw, four-speed manual transmission, I have found small-block equipped El Caminos, so equipped, to be seldom seen anymore! The seller doesn’t say how this Chevy runs and drives, but with 89K recorded miles, it should have plenty of “go” to it still. There was a 325 HP, “L79” engine available too in ’67 but this engine does not look like one of those, and if it were, the differential would be the heavy-duty 12 bolt and not the standard 10 bolt unit that is in place here. Upfront is a 275 HP, 327 CI, V8 engine that appears to have had a replacement Edelbrock carburetor, on an adaptor, substituted for what was probably the original Quadrajet. The cargo bed is just spotless, I’d hate to put something in there and mess it up! There are a couple of before-the-new-paint-job images included, it wasn’t in poor condition to start with, it just needed some refurbishment. The Chevrolet rally wheels are close to right for ’67, the center caps are for a ’68 or later, not that it matters in this case. All in all, it looks good, and it’s complete. It is listed as being crash and rust-free and is only in need of some cosmetic updates. The seller states that this Chevy has had one repaint in a hue as close to the original as could be found. This El Camino is the more upscale version, based on the Malibu as opposed to the 300 Deluxe, it’s essentially a trim difference and that trim, inside and outside, lines up with the corresponding Malibu. Of that total, about 34K were the dual duty, half-car/half-truck Camino version. Statistics show that Chevrolet built a little over 400K Chevelle intermediates, the vehicle on which the El Camino was based, in 1967. By 1966, Chevrolet’s famed 396 CI engine had become an option and in ’68, there was an actual SS396 variant – it was the perfect vehicle for one who needed a light pickup truck by day, and something more muscle car-like by night or weekend. That said, a ’67 El Camino is a generation-two member that was introduced in ’64, and known for both its utilitarian and sporty nature. We have covered many El Caminos, from all different generations, here on Barn Finds before so there is probably no need to trace that territory again. It is located in Boise, Idaho and is available, here on eBay for a current bid of $18,100, reserve not yet met. And yes, this one qualifies! This 1967 El Camino is a life-long Idaho resident and has some nice features, so that being the case, let’s look it over. I’ve had a real El Camino jones going on for a while and I continually check out everyone that I can find that looks minimally interesting.
