I didn't feel like I could pirate @Greg 's name of Hell Camino for this thread and wasn't going to use @Gravy 's term of Mullet Bullet, so the best I could come up with was a Demoncamino. I have been working to acquire this car for a little over 2 years. It has been owned by a friend of mine who got it after his father passed away. He was not in a hurry to sell it and I was not wanting to low ball him, so I waited until I could pay his asking price as well as getting the ok from my wife. His dad was not the original owner of the car, so I do not have a full history on it. Body overall is in good shape with what I would call normal rust. From what I could see from crawling underneath it, the pans did not show any rust.
The reason for the "SS" designation is that Chevy did not produce and SS model of the El Camino in '67. The cars original color was according the the paint code was Nantucket Blue. At some point I think it has had some front end damage and painted white. I am coming to this conclusion since the passenger fender appears to have been red originally. I am also going to assume that they added the SS badging and SS hood at that time. Outside of that, this car is equipped as you would expect an SS to be. It has a 396, 4 speed manual and 12 bolt rear end. Chevy produced 3 different 396 motors at this time. A, 315 hp, 325 hp, and a 375 hp motor. I know that with the harmonic balancer that is on it, I do not have the 375 hp motor, but without looking at the lifters, I do not know whether it is the 315 or 325.
Short term plans for the car are to update the suspension and braking with THIS pro touring kit. I will most likely upgrade the steering box also. I really liked the classic look of the 5 spoke wheels Greg used on the He'El Camino, and will probably go with a classic look. I am thinking an 18" front and 20" rear, but need to figure out what size tire I can fit.
