Exactly what sport would that be? Certainly not any of the sports CHP readers are into: disciplines such as the quarter-mile sprint, the stop-on-a-dime disc burn, and the tight-and-twisty road routine. Of course, the gearhead&#8217;s way around that particular predicament is to build your own vehicle, and build it just the way you want it. Case in point: Mike Conway&#8217;s totally comfy, slick-handling, brute big-block-powered &#8217;67 El Camino. Says Conway, &#8220;We wanted a car that would have classic styling and also possess all the comforts, handling characteristics, and power of today&#8217;s auto\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand it also had to haul stuff and haul butt.&#8221; Now that&#8217;s our kind of SUV!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"two-colum\">\n<hr class=\"bottom-border\">\n<center>Page Two<\/center><\/p>\n<div class=\"left-contentbig\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pic2.jpg\" alt=\"pic2\" width=\"450\" height=\"259\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-171839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pic2.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pic2-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pic3.jpg\" alt=\"pic3\" width=\"450\" height=\"250\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-171840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pic3.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pic3-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"two-colum\">\n<div class=\"left-content\">\n<p>A quick review of Mr. Conway&#8217;s motoring history provides ample evidence that only such a vehicular appliance would do. &#8220;I started with my dad, Mark, who is now 93 years old,&#8221; Conway told us. &#8220;He had a four-banger Chevy, which he ran up at 117 mph out at Muroc.&#8221; Conway&#8217;s first cars included a &#8217;40 Ford business coupe, as well as a &#8217;48 Merc with Strombergs and Edelbrock heads. But our guy did fall on the right side of the tracks more often than not, running a &#8217;61 Impala convertible with a 348 Tri-power, as well as a &#8217;65 Chevelle and a &#8217;72 El Camino. It was at the track, however, that Conway really got busy with his Bow Ties. He drag raced a &#8217;62 Corvette, and also road raced a &#8217;63 split-window coupe in SCCA events throughout Southern California. Conway admits to having no delusions of grandeur. &#8220;There was no money in it,&#8221; he reminisced. &#8220;It was just for fun.&#8221; Regrets? &#8220;We made that &#8217;63 Vette lighter,&#8221; he wistfully says, &#8220;and ended up trashing it.&#8221; We&#8217;ve all had our do-overs, Mike.<\/p>\n<p> Conway continued in this vein through the late &#8217;50s and into the &#8217;60s, selling hot rods part-time while also<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"right-content\">\n<p>going to school. &#8220;The dealers didn&#8217;t know what to do with 409 and 427 Chevy&#8217;s and such,&#8221; he recalls. &#8220;We did.&#8221; Conway eventually made his way in the real estate business, and clearly remembers an &#8217;84 El Camino he used for company business. Conway also remembers that a wealthy client loved it. &#8220;It&#8217;s like a car, but you can haul stuff in it,&#8221; the older lady would exclaim. &#8220;It&#8217;s very practical.&#8221; These words left an impression. Conway found his own<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"right-contentsmall\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pic4.jpg\" alt=\"pic4\" width=\"216\" height=\"188\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-171841\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pic5.jpg\" alt=\"pic5\" width=\"215\" height=\"179\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-171842\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"pic5bellow\">Elky in 1999 and became the third owner or this Fremont, California-built &#8217;67 El Camino. The car came fully loaded, complete with A\/C, bucket seats, a center console, a Turbo 400 tranny, and a 325hp 396 under the hood. It was also very straight, as Conway recalls, and only showed 53,000 miles on the clock. &#8220;I bought this car to have a classic runabout\u00e2\u20ac\u201dto Home Depot, the nursery, carrying bicycles\u00e2\u20ac\u201das well as something I could run at the local dragstrip,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I drove this car and drag raced it for a while, running mid 14s. I think it&#8217;s one of the best Chevelles made. It was built on a station wagon frame, so there&#8217;s more weight on the back, and it had 4.10:1 gears. I went up against a &#8217;70 SS 396 four-speed car. He redlighted, and I still beat him.&#8221; Nice, but this Chevy&#8217;s biggest victory would happen off the track.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pic7.jpg\" alt=\"pic7\" width=\"450\" height=\"271\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-171849\" class=\"imgmaxwidth\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pic7.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pic7-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"two-colum\">\n<hr class=\"bottom-border\">\n<center>Page Three<\/center><\/p>\n<div class=\"left-content\">\n<p> Conway had been driving and racing his low-mile Elky for a while, &#8220;and then wham, my wife Kathy had a cycling accident that ended in a massive stroke,&#8221; he confides. A bit down the road, as part of her therapy, Mike and Kathy began to restore the El Camino, creating, according to Mike, &#8220;what GM should still be building today.&#8221; We&#8217;ll get to those particulars momentarily, but as a recuperation tool, the &#8217;67 has been an unqualified success. &#8220;Kathy has astounded her doctors,&#8221; Mike proudly told us. &#8220;They gave us no hope, but we weren&#8217;t gonna settle. The people we met at shows and in our club [the Southern California Chevelle Camino Club] were so nice and kind to her. It really helped. People in the car hobby are part of the reason she&#8217;s made the recovery she has.&#8221; We can also thank Kathy for choosing the classy Merlot Red Metallic hues the Elky now wears instead of its original &#8220;Grey Poupon yellow&#8221; paint.<\/p>\n<p>That club involvement led to the creation of a classic Pro \u00e2\u20ac\u201dloads of comfort and looks, loads of power and handling, and the ability to carry loads, to boot. &#8220;Our club likes to drive, so we needed it to be comfy,&#8221; Mike told us. The interior digs are that\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe Reno leather-covered Florfit bucket seats catch the eye right away. They contrast but also complement the Haneline gauges sitting in a custom engine-turned dash insert, a result of Conway&#8217;s fascination with Lindbergh&#8217;s Spirit of St. Louis. Vintage Air A\/C and a custom behind-seat box for the stereo are part of the entirely modern creature comforts. Global West and QA1 suspension components nicely update the Elky&#8217;s ride and handling.<\/p>\n<p>Lest we get too carried away talking about comfort and utility, let&#8217;s not forget that a longtime racer built this car, so the stump-pulling big-block under the hood isn&#8217;t entirely unexpected. Sporting 400 ponies and 461 lb-ft at the wheels, the mid-12-second rips at the strip this Elky lays down aren&#8217;t unexpected, either. But the &#8220;single coolest mod,&#8221; according to Conway, is the Gear Vendors overdrive unit he installed, especially when the &#8217;67 still had 4.10s in it. Let&#8217;s see, this guy installs a torque monster engine, then back it with a Turbo 400, plus another three gears, including a 0.78 overdrive. Yeah, we&#8217;d say that&#8217;s pretty cool. On a recent trip to Seattle to California with their buds from the SCCCC, the fat-block-powered Elky returned 15 mpg, and conveyed its passengers in comfort and style. Now fitted with milder 3.42 cogs in anticipation of future road trips, we&#8217;re sure that number will jump.<\/p>\n<p> If you haven&#8217;t guessed by now, Mike Conway is very pleased with the results of his do-everything El Camino quest. &#8220;It&#8217;s reliable, safe, and a blast to drive,&#8221; he reports. &#8220;Throttle response is crisp and it handles like my Mercedes.&#8221; We think that&#8217;s a good thing. &#8220;We also get a kick out of people&#8217;s response to it,&#8221; Conway says. &#8220;It&#8217;s usually big smiles and thumbs-up.&#8221; You know what, Mike? That&#8217;s our response, too\u00e2\u20ac\u201done we don&#8217;t give to those other SUVs.
