Vehicle Description
This custom frame-off Pro-Touring 1972 Chevrolet El Camino is
powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 GM crate engine producing 520hp.
Power is transferred by a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission that
has been rebuilt using B&M Performance parts and is equipped
with a Painless Performance Perfect Torc digital control unit. The
engine is equipped with a GM Performance ECU control unit,
drive-by-wire, Texas Speed & Performance cam and an upgraded valve
train. It also has power steering and the engine bay is highly
detailed with all wiring, lines and hoses meticulously thought out
and placed. Putting the power to the wheels is a 12-bolt rear end
with 3.73 posi-traction gears. The hydro-boost-powered 4-wheel disc
brakes use a Wilwood 6-piston DynaPro Big Brake system with drilled
and slotted rotors. This custom El Camino sits on staggered 18- and

completed with House of Kolor paint. The Silver and Emerald Green
Metallic exterior colors are separated by a marbleized stripe.
