1972 Chevrolet El Camino

The El Camino was first introduced in 1959 as Chevrolet needed a coupe pickup to compete with the Ranchero. Production stopped briefly in 1960 before it was reintroduced in 1964 at which time it was based on the Chevelle platform. This created a vehicle that had the look of the iconic muscle car but incorporated the utilitarian value of a pickup. It really is the best of both worlds! This 1972 El Camino is a great driving classic that has one of the most popular looking muscle car front ends of the 70s. It has just been gone through and refreshed to make it ready for the road. It is painted in a clean Red with Black racing stripes combined with a Black vinyl top. One very unique feature of the car is it has had a moon roof added in place. It wears its factory style stainless trim, chrome bumpers, and has the SS grill. It also has the SS cowl hood with hood pins. The lights all work and the tail light sockets were replaced. The SS wheels have been blacked out and it has the SS center caps and new Sport Radial tires.

The drivetrain has 38,000 miles since being gone through and the 454 V8 runs strong. A majority of the components under the hood are painted Black and it is topped off with a Black Chevrolet air cleaner. The alternator, battery, gas tank, 4 barrel Edelbrock carburetor and custom dual exhaust (with headers) are all new. It sounds great and runs down the road well. The transmission is a Turbo 400 automatic combined with a 10 bolt rear end which has been gone through as well. It has power brakes, power steering and air conditioning making driving it very comfortable.

The interior of it has been redone with new Black upholstery with custom stitching. It has a split bench seat with aftermarket 3 point beats for both driver and passenger. The new gauge cluster and bezel is from Digital gauges but are analog and all working. The AC vents are all mounted in dash indicating they are factory. The Forever Sharp custom half wrap steering wheel is in place and it has a column shifter.

This classic Elky has had all the mechanical systems address and is ready to be driven and enjoyed.
