This El Camino Resto-Mod underwent a ground-up restoration that
took several years and is mostly stock except for the drivetrain.
It is powered by an early Chevy small block 383ci stroker engine
with an early GM aluminum high-rise intake topped with a Carter AFB
competition series carburetor backed up with a heavy-duty built TH
400 automatic transmission wtih a 308 ratio GM posi-traction unit
from an early �60s �Vette. It also has block hugger headers that go
into 2.5" exhaust pipe, a new aluminum radiator, updated drop
spindles with power disc brakes, and a 605 power steering box.
During the restoration the body was stripped down and any sign of
rust was removed and replaced with steel. It was coated with an
epoxy primer and block sanded, then finished in stock PPG Roman Red
paint with Blue Metallic and has matching red Torque Thrust wheels.
The look of the body is finished off with Impala trim that was
straightened and polished. The interior is stock Impala-style for
an original look and a stock looking radio with CD, MP3 and phone
capabilities with big speakers behind the seat to drown out road
noise.
