As most know I put this car back together for Barry. Just about everything mechanical is new. He had the motor and transmission all redone. All new interior. A lot of NOS trim parts were installed. The car is rock solid, the floors are perfect. I fixed 2 small holes in trunk area. Someone put half quarters on car years ago but no cracks or visible damage shows. We decided to put the car back together leaving the old paint on it for that old patina look. I buffed the car out and was amazed at how well she cleaned up. From 10 feet you would think your were going to fall into the black paint. But up close it shows all the old patina. The car would be a perfect sleeper car. A car to go out and have fun with. With 4:11 gears I bet she will pull hard. If your looking for a solid original car to get some attention at your local cruises or drag strips this car will do that for you.

Back in 1964, Hot Rod Magazine had a '64 El Camino project car that they claimed was a 365 HP car. If I remember correctly, they actually had Chevrolet replace the 365 HP motor for something more mundane for trailering. Somebody that has an early magazine collection could look this up. My mag collection is gone or I would.

It is my understanding that the 12 Bolt was used starting in the 1965 model year. The earliest housing I have seen was late September 1964. I am very curious to see the foundry date on the center section of the housing.
