broo102 Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 05/20/09 Posts: 109 Loc: So Calif	Is a 65 El Camino Super Sport a rare find? What is the proper VIN for one? Does anyone know it's value? Thanks Bruce _________________________ Blessings Broo Deut. 7:12

broo102 Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 05/20/09 Posts: 109 Loc: So Calif	I knew someone would know. Thank you. Some one was selling one claiming it had a 396 originally. Is that possible? Broo _________________________ Blessings Broo Deut. 7:12

42bill Registered: 09/19/03 Posts: 4703 Loc: Portland, OR	I don't think so. As I recall, 1966 was the first El Camino to have the 396 BB engine. _________________________ www.rdgsons.com/vcca/toyz.jpg

jiaccino Registered: 11/25/02 Posts: 1278 Loc: tucson, az	It could've had a big block in 66 & 67, but they weren't super sports. Chevrolet built 201 ss396 Chevelles in 1965...None were El Caminos....Joe

61 vert Backyard Mechanic Registered: 07/07/06 Posts: 278 Loc: Iowa	AHHHH The Mysterious Z-16. 1965 Chevelle with the 375 HP 396. Built to compete with the GTO. Very rare and valuable indeed.

broo102 Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 05/20/09 Posts: 109 Loc: So Calif	Would a 65 El camino be a rare find with original 4 speed? This one has the SS vented hood, & Im trying to figure out if 65's had this hood. _________________________ Blessings Broo Deut. 7:12

the toolman Registered: 12/25/01 Posts: 1218 Loc: Canton, OH	It was stated that 1965 did not however 1966 had a vented hood? I am not sure what you mean by that. The 1966 SS Chevelles and El Camino's had a great SS hood however the hood was not vented into the engine compartment or carb. dtm _________________________ the toolman Central #7 Area Director www.1940chevrolet.com VCCA # 28873 VCCA #83 Tool Technical Advisor for 1937-1966
