DannyD's 1967 L79 ElCamino!

[Xplantdad]

Bruce, My name is Dan. I own a 1967 L79 El Camino with 138,000 on the body.
This was a California car all its life until my purchase 4 yrs ago. The car
was ordered by Don Harling (with whom I have spoken) from Gustafson
Chevrolet and he stated to me that he wanted a Holley 4 barrel and a 4
speed.

He ordered the Royal Plum El Camino with the M21 and the standard 3:31 rear.
He sold the car to his aunt who then sold the car to someone else in town.
I believe 4 or 5 owners before me, all of which lived in or around Arcata
Ca.

The car still sports the original interior with the exception of the carpet.


When I bought the car, it had a 2nd paint job which was marginal. I had the
car media blasted and pleased at what was left. Truly a rust free car, with
minor dents. The car was repainted the original color.

This is a numbers matching car with the protecto-plate and owner history.
Truly a pleasure to drive.


Thanks Dan

Very nice.

&quot;he stated to me that he wanted a Holley 4 barrel and a 4
speed.&quot;

Did the L79 in the Chevelle come with a Holley and aluminum intake??
It looks like it in the photos...
Just wondering because the 67 Nova L79's had cast iron intake and QJ.

Thanks guys. The car runs and drives very nicely. One complaint the owner had was that he kept wearing out the clutch...M21 with the 3:31 (12 Bolt) I am guessing is why. In 67 the L79 did come with the Holley (this car has the 3807 with the Cali Smog) and the aluminum intake.
