The second-generation El Camino (1964-1967) was a Chevelle’s twin, chopped at the B-pillars to create a utility vehicle with a flair for power. Starting modestly with six-cylinder engines, it quickly beefed up with V8 muscle, peaking at a 396-cubic-inch beast by ’67. It evolved with each model year, from power boosts to snazzy upgrades like a collapsible steering column and front disc brakes. By 1967, it was a stylish workhorse, versatile enough for hauling hay or hustling on the highway.
The 1969 Dodge Super Bee, a no-frills speedster, is essentially a Dodge Coronet on rocket fuel.
