With the handsome good looks of a Chevelle and the utility of a pickup, the El Camino offers the best of both worlds: performance and practicality. This 1972 Chevrolet El Camino SS tribute has all the right features â€" from bucket seats to a big block V8 â€" to offer this tradition at a very desirable price. This was the final year of the third-gen El Camino. GM would be closing the book on the now-iconic... symbol of Chevy muscle. So this one represents this legacy properly with all your favorite features of the Super Sport package, including the dual hood stripes, power bulge cowl hood, complete SS badging, and correct Super Sport wheels. And it's all wrapped in the 1972-correct shade of Pewter Silver. But more than just this sporty personality, this generation El Camino really has style with the form-fitting chrome bumpers, nicely integrated tailgate, and plenty of bright trim surrounding the handy truck bed. The interior gets all your favorite Super Sport elements right with a nice set of bucket seats, a center console in-between, and the iconic horseshoe shifter. Plus, you get the dual-spoke SS steering wheel that gives you a clear view to the upgraded round gauge package and the helpful auxiliary readouts. This driver-oriented dash now also has the convenience of a modern AM/FM/CD stereo. Under the hood is a 402 cubic-inch V8 that's dressed to impress. There's plenty of shine on the air topper and valve covers; the wires and hoses look fresh; and the bold block radiates from within the dark engine bay. So you know this is the kind of machine made to lift its hood wherever it parks. But beyond just appearances, this V8 was built to run. It was rebuilt about 3,000 miles ago, and so it fires up nicely as the four-barrel carburetor feeds the big block. The V8 makes a nice growl out of the dual exhaust. All this power gets to the ground through GM's sturdy TH400 three-speed automatic transmission on its way to the stout 10-bolt rear end. Taking this mean machine out for a cruise is no problem with great driving features such as power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and the grip of BF Goodrich T/As at all four corners. This is the last of the great ones, and it's offered now for quite a nice price. So don't miss this deal. Call now!
