El Camino 1964 to 1967—The Second Generation
The second-generation El Camino didn’t reach showroom floors until 1964, and the new model shared the Chevelle platform. Chevy chopped a two-door Chevelle at the B- pillars, which yielded the El Camino, a plain Jane clone of the Chevelle, but it displayed the badging of both vehicles. The available power options of the utility designated El Camino in ’64 were limited to a 194-cubic-inch and a 230-cubic-inch six with a 283-cubic-inch V8 that produced 195 horsepower mounted with a two-barrel as the standard offering. The 283 was upgradable to a four-barrel version producing 220 hp, and this included dual exhaust pipes. The largest engine in a new El Camino is the 327-cubic-inch small-block V8, which produced 250 hp with the two-barrel version or the modified 327 with tighter pistons in the firing chambers that produced the higher compression ratio of 10.5:1 and, mounted with the larger four-barrel, got 300 hp (220 kW). Of course, the dual exhaust pipes were a part of the package.

The El Camino looked good in 1965 and was still on the Chevelle platform, but the power options were more plentiful as well as larger; this was more attractive to many consumers. It had all the same power train options as the previous year, but the horsepower ratings had a boost on the V8 engines with a power 327-cubic-inch now putting out 350 hp (261 kW).
El Camino models in 1966 could have a new 396-cubic-inch (6.5L) V8 and, depending on the accessories added, put out between 325 hp and 375 hp (280kW) with the big one turning in a time of low 15s in the quarter, achieving a top speed of 90 mph plus. In ’66, the choices were the Spartan utility version or the optional upscale custom model with deep pile carpet, swivel bucket seats, and a console available with an added choice of a tachometer to keep track of your rpm if you liked. The complete Chevelle lineup had a revised dash with the speedometer needle now using a sweep action to track your mph.

For 1967, the El Camino got a new grille, front bumper, and an exterior trim revision. The adjustable air shocks were still a very practical standard feature to have the ability to adjust them for heavier loads in the box. The car now had a collapsible steering column as standard equipment and the option of choosing the front disk brakes.

Power train options expanded in ’67 with an SS396 model in the showrooms, and, equipped with the 396-cubic-inch L35 series, the V8 produced 325hp in the base version. Any El Camino model that year could come with a large variety of engine and transmission combinations. The transmission offerings were the Turbo Hydramatic (TH400) three-speed, the two-speed Powerglide, and two versions of a four-speed standard, either the wide ratio M20 for higher speed or the close ratio M21 for quicker pickup, with the column-mounted, three-speed standard remaining as the base transmission.
