#59 EL CAMINO MISFIT GARAGE PRO#
Harnessing the powertrain is a stock frame with a Detroit Speed Independent Front S uspension, which includes the Wilwood Pro dropped spindles, JRi coilovers shocks at the corners, and Wilwood calipers, hubs, and rotors in front and Chevy drums in back while Detroit Speed front and rear sway bars are positioned. Once this power is gathered up it is sent back to a 4:11-packed 12-bolt rear end from GearFX Driveline. The 454 big block is then bolted via an American Powertrain system, which includes a TREMEC TKO 5 speed, a Centerforce clutch, and a GM flywheel. Other engine accessories include a Vintage Air Front Runner, Powermaster starter, a stock-appearing ignition with Taylor wires, and a Cooling Components electric fan partnered with a Walker radiator. It features Chevrolet’s largest displacement V8 of the day-what appears to be an LS6 454 pumping 450 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque is really an outwardly nearly correct looking engine, but the “heartbeat” comes from a Jeff Taylor Performance built 454 big block that sports stock exhaust manifolds run through 2-1/2-inch stainless tubing matched to a pair of Borla ProXS mufflers that are all neatly fabricated by Barillaro Speed Emporium.

Among the V8s offered there was the base 283 with a 2- or 4 barrel carb, then came a 348 with either a four-barrel or three two-barrel carb setup producing 355 hp, and then the rarest of all the 250- or 290hp 283 with Rochester Ramjet fuel injection. Hidden beneath the bed was the floorpan from the two-door wagon, complete with footwells. The original El Camino has also touted as the first Chevrolet “pickup” built with a steel rather than wood bed floor. It did have a distinct advantage over the new Brookwood and the sedan delivery alternative the El Camino was available with any of the full-sized Chevrolet drivetrains and came in a single mid-level trim: the Bel Air. Based on the new-for-1959 Brookwood two-door station wagon, it benefitted from the completely redesigned Chevrolet body style outselling the Ranchero in 1959.
