Over the years, GM's Chevrolet division has built some interesting cars. However, there are few of those that can match the coolness factor of the El Camino - much less the kind that this specific 1965 Chevrolet El Camino brings to the table. This sweet Chevy comes complete with a frame-off restoration, a comprehensive build that combines a beautiful two-tone silver exterior with a custom interior to dial this El Camino's style up to eleven. Under the hood lies a 327 C.I. high-performance V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, a vocal combination that screams when you put your foot to the floor. Torque is stomped into the pavement through an updated Tremec 6-speed manual transmission hooked up to a 12-bolt rear end, which ensures that whoever drives this badass pickup will be smiling every time they're behind the wheel. The exterior's straight bodylines are covered in a stunning two silver metallic paintjob, which is complimented well by flames that start on the hood of this truck and run all the way down the bed for an imposing, muscular look. Looking into the bed reveals a stainless steel bed liner, which is in great shape and fits with the custom character of this truck! The undercarriage of this gorgeous El Camino is also extremely solid, as are the frame rails, floors, and bed. Step into the interior and you're greeted with jaw-dropping custom flame accents on the door panels and lots of custom appointments, such as new aftermarket gauges and power accessories! The new gray vinyl bucket seats are also very comfy, and they're perfect for cruising to your next car show. Being a frame-off build, this El Camino is equipped with a plethora of options. Some of these include power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, cold Vintage Air A/C, power windows, a custom center console, a smoothed firewall, a stainless bed liner, an aluminum radiator, a tilt steering column, aftermarket gauges, dashboard underglow, a Grant GT steering wheel, an aftermarket AM/FM digital radio, new speakers, a driver's-side chrome mirror, vent windows, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust system. This mean-looking truck rides on a sleek set of 17" billet aluminum wheels over blackwall tires for an appearance that blends all the best aspects of custom performance! The minute you're behind the wheel of this El Camino, it becomes very clear just how excellently it runs and drives. After all, the combination of a 327 V8 and an upgraded 6-speed manual is tough to beat! If you're looking to turn heads up and down the street as well as at your next car show, there isn't a whole lot out there that will do the job better than this 1965 El Camino.
