Old School 1965 Chevy El Camino

Our friend Memo dropped by with his very cool old school 65 El Camino done Memo style. He wanted to keep it close to original stuff with an upgrade motor, paint and a few other things but this is simply old school cool.
Enjoy the ride...

500 horse I think that's a lil stretch maybe 3 something

[@bobbybentley8136]

Still nice Camino tho

[@jtravis30]

Yea no way. It sounds just like the 327s I've had. All show and no go. Barely chirp the tires.

[@Isaac-zz2uv]

i hope it isnt 500 for have all manual braking and steering and not even disc brake

[@wheelmanvicful]

That's what I was just thinking lol

[@ztwntyn8]

I bet it’s set up low compression and there goes the torque. My 68 impala 327/275 would walk that truck.

[@vinniecorleone62]

I have owned a bunch of El Camino's & Ranchero's, this one is very clean & old school original, dude did a terrific job bringing it back to life, nice!

[@coreysmith2774]

I had a 65 El Camino in high school in the late 80's. That was a fun car. Had a 327 with a powerglide, and yes it had the floor shifter and the Chevelle center console, and Chevelle low back bucket seats. I did upgrade it to power steering, but it was drums all around.

[@Robert-goose1]

No compromises when you drive an El Camino. It needs to make a return.

[@gnarlytothemax]

I bet it will be dorky as hell if they ever do bring it back...

[@2quedogg]

Nah bro...they need to leave it where it is...retired. Hell the Camaro didn't even survive. Chevy is stopping production on it.

[@jeffpitzer8521]

Nice job Moe! Very tastefully done.. surprised at no disc brakes...truly old school.. and that puppy is straight.. very nice body work...

[@tomnekuda3818]

This El Camino is so pure! No LS power and old school stuff.....right on!

[@jeffreynolds3848]

Moe & Shawn - thanks for bringing & showing; that’s one movie star grille & the rest ain’t far behind!

[@ethanbowman3532]

I absolutely love these subtle restomods. I always use that mindset when I'm restoring my bikes. This thing is an amazing build though, 100/10 in my book.

[@InsertNameHere0369]

Gotta love American muscle. Classic

[@issacnewton9443]

I can't wait to finish my '65 El Camino, yours is very nice! Mine needs a lot of work too and i'm working on a very limited budget so I hope I can finish in a couple years and drive it forever!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Show it to us when it’s done. Memo did a great job on this one

[@bikelife_bandit]

Same here

[@mgbchuck6527]

Nice, really needs a man pedal (clutch and manual trans), I had a '65 Malibu SS (327/4-speed) that was one of my favorite cars ever.

[@oceanhome2023]

Absolutely I had a 65 with a 4spd I kind of ruined it by carrying some heavy stuff . Had it till 76 it was a gear head’s delight all sorts of LDS rear ends and other stuff was available like Hurst shifter how fun was that to chirp the tires in all 4 gears I always had a hot blonde next to me and gave me a reason to put it in 4th

[@originaldylanbaxter]

WOW! My word-parts fail me. This classic car/truck love child cleans up NICE with the right treatments. Props Memo!

[@hussydahustla]

Thank you for another cool video to everyone involved. Keep putting out great content. And cool old school build.

[@hippiehillape]

Nothing but reapect for what this man built. Absolutely beautiful.

[@toddclark332]

damn Sean now that is beautiful love that blue and you know I'm a 65 man I got one if you want to come and get it somebody stole the front end off of it

[@gnarlytothemax]

500 hp out of a 327 - damn that motor is dialed in!

[@fuelbasti]

maybe it just feels like that 😁

[@adrianstanciu8876]

How’s it going with the build

[@darricecarr5837]

@@Mathfuw Thanks for asking... It Starts, Runs & Drives👌🏾 I haven’t done anything else at this point, I have a kid in college & a few other things going on... I did buy a new Complete Wire Harness from Southwest Performance; it’ll get rewired in the next month or so...

[@supersport57]

Awesome stock looking El Camino

[@edwardthomas1794]

What I love about this El Camino is the custom touches he did look like the came from the factory.

[@lenwoodcruze3594]

So clean So balanced So good.

[@christophermarechal5017]

Memo is a cool dude!! Awesome shop truck!!

[@Panthercholo]

That car is perfect! I love the color and the fact its got a 327. But Memo, there's no way that little mouse makes what you claim. It sounds every bit of 400HP. We can bet if you're interested... I'll put my house up against your pink slip.

[@ri9093]

Form and function and looks great !!

[@Sams_Gunpowder]

Tell memo when I find mine I’m otw to get her done this guy got the touch

I weep in joy at such a beautiful El Camino. ❤❤❤

They just don’t get enough love do they?

[@MoTo-sm5fh]

@@AutotopiaLA They do not. I'll have one you can checkout some time soon to help spread the love. Its a nice build, with some goodies to go with it. LS 6spd, and some subtle changes to it.

[@dave5833]

Had one just like with with a stocked 283 and a 4 speed fun ride. Like all of them wished I had her back. :(((

[@andyZ3500s]

Your El Camino is so right. Love all the original SS interior from the Impala seats Malibu console and steering wheel. Plus that 327 sounds great

Hey Moe, I think you have the headlight bezels flipped. Love the ride though. My first car was a 65 Malibu SS and I miss it every day.

Gotta Agree with Bobby Bentley.. 500hp streeeetch. 327 with just dart heads. I have the same year. 350, Vortec head , flat tops, Comp 268HE cam (not crazy). No stall with 700r4, 3.73 posi. If I launch it hard like he did just smoke and hard second. I am probably 350hp possibly.. Nice car though .. Like the interior !
