The 1969 Chevrolet el Camino

The 1969 Chevy el Camino is agreeably one of the coolest muscle cars to come out of the Motor City in the sixties. Even to the end of its production run, the el Camino was always a popular model because of its unique feature. I like the 1969 Chevy el Camino because I feel like Chevrolet took what was all ready good in the 1969 Chevelle Malibu, and went one better and made one of the first hybrid or cross-over vehicles to hit the market. The front end of a 1969 Chevelle, with the payload capacity of a compact truck, with the handling of a muscle car. Imagine being the proud owner of a 1969 Chevy el Camino like the stunning blue one featured here. The 1969 Chevy el Camino is definitely in my top ten muscle cars to come out of the sixties.

The 1969 el Camino Origins

Backround on the 1969 el Camino

1969 el Camino1968 introduced a longer El Camino, based on the station wagon/4-door sedan wheelbase. A new, high performance Super Sport SS396 version was launched, alongside the Chevelle version. 1969 models were very similar, but 1970 saw the availability of a new SS396 which actually displaced 402 cu in (6.6 L) (although all emblems read 396). Chevrolet's largest and most-powerful engine of the time was also put into a select few El Caminos. The LS6 454 in³ engine, rated at 450 hp (336 kW) and 500 lb·ft (680 N·m) of torque, gave the El Camino 1/4 mile times in the upper 13 second range at almost 105 mph (169 km/h). 1969 also marked the first time that the legendary Chevrolet 350 V-8 was used in an El Camino. For 1971, mandated lower-octane unleaded fuel necessitated a reduction in engine compression, and GM's A.I.R. system, a "smog pump", was added to control tailpipe emissions. Power and performance suffered. Single headlights replaced the dual light for 1971, and the grille was veed.
