El Camino buyers had eight different engine choices in ’66 including the fairly new 396 CI “Turbo-Jet” V8 as it was first made available in the Camino that year. This one’s not a rollover, it’s a roller as it has no engine or transmission. There’s no mention made of the source of the axles but it’s logical to assume they came from the chassis donating Blazer, or some other GM vehicle. I can’t tell with certainty what’s going on under the rear though it looks like a primitive trailing arm setup. I’m not exactly sure what that means but the front suspension is secured with some seriously arched leaf springs. The seller states, “ Truck suspension is mocked up 4 link not finished“. After all, it’s not mine and I didn’t participate in its highly altered birth so I’ll just enjoy it as is.Įxamining its bones, the Hellcamino is sitting on top of a ’77 Blazer chassis that has been lengthened. Regardless, I don’t know whether to label this thing as heresy, blasphemy, or just roll with it and go for a laugh. Now you probably are thinking “ That’s a ’67 El Camino, not a ’66” but the seller advises that he has grafted a ’67 Chevelle/El Camino fiberglass front clip to a ’66 body. Thanks to Chuck F for this outrageous find! This most modified of Chevrolets is located in Bel Air, Maryland and is available, here on Facebook Marketplace for $6,500. Distraught, I am a bit but I’ll grin and bear it and commence with the review. Or…maybe it should be paved with a Hellcamino intention like this world’s greatest extrovert example of a 1966 Chevrolet El Camino. I’ve never owned one but constantly swear, “ One of these days…” Yeah, yeah, yeah, the road to hell is paved with positive “One of these days” intentions. If you follow my rantings you’ll know that I like Chevrolet El Caminos, especially the ’66 to ’72 variety.
