plant built El Camino El Caminos have a faithful following, more
than 30 years after the last one rolled off of an assembly line. As
one of GM?s car/truck hybrids, it offered a variety of versatile
uses. These days, few El Caminos come nicer than this recently
fully restored custom 1971 El Camino that we have now at
MotoeXotica Classic Cars! This El Camino was completely
professionally restored recently by Lee Bumgardner?s Zoomers
Automotive in Denver Colorado. Lee has been restoring classic and
resto-mods for the last three decades and his builds have been
featured in publications such as SuperChevy and Rodauthority. This
El Camino was built for a local client with absolutely no expense
spared including the new Chevrolet Performance SP383 Deluxe 383ci
Engine Kit with FiTech Fuel Command Center, GM?s Connect & Cruise
4L70-E four-speed automatic transmission, exceptional paint and
body work, all new fully trimmed leather/vinyl/alcantara interior,
full stereo system with bluetooth and all the power options you
would want such as power steering, power front disc brakes, power
windows and air conditioning! This example was made in GM?s Van
Nuys, California assembly plant (VIN code L) during the fourth week
of June 1971. Finished in stunning gunmetal metallic, the car?s
paint is in excellent order, with no obvious flaws or blemishes. A
black cloth top complements the paint and is in excellent newish
condition. The bodywork is extremely straight and solid, the engine
bay is extremely tidy, the Duralast battery appears new and the
chrome bumpers and trim look fantastic. Out back is a cargo bed
complete with bedliner that has kept the vehicle?s business end in
excellent shape. This El Camino is stanced just right and rolls on
a staggered set of BFGoodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires, size
235/60R15 in front and 255/60R15 in back. Each tire is mounted on
an American Racing, five-spoke, chrome wheel. The wheels are in
excellent order while the tires are very good with
better-than-average tread depth. It has a 116-inch wheelbase and a
4,100-pound GVWR. Under the hood is a fresh Chevy Performance SP383
Deluxe 383ci Engine Kit with FiTech Fuel Command Center with
optional chromed accessory drive. Chevrolet celebrates their 65
years of the Small Block with the new fuel-injected SP383 V8 crate
engine, a modern-day take on the classic 383 Small Block ?stroker?
motor. The SP383 V8 is based on Chevrolet Performance?s existing
ZZ6 EFI crate engine and features the same high-flow cylinder heads
and modern-day valvetrain. With a longer 3.8-inch stroke, though,
this engine is rated at 450 horsepower and 438 pound-feet of
torque. For comparison?s sake, the ZZ6 motor has a 3.4-inch stroke
and makes 420 horsepower and 405 foot-pounds of torque The SP383
breathes via Sanderson performance headers with dual exhausts and
is mated to GM?s Connect & Cruise 4L70-E four-speed automatic
transmission. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning,
power steering from a newer GM pump, power windows and power front
disc brakes. Inside, the vehicle has been treated to a whole new
interior that looks stunning, black high quality vinyl with maroon
leather, contrasting with new black carpet and a matching alcantara
headliner, all of which are in excellent shape. A two-spoke
steering wheel faces the driver with a full set of digital gauges
in the original gauge cluster but we have found that the fuel gauge
only displays ?EEE?. The new headliner, all new leather/vinyl door
panels and the new stitched dash look excellent and complement each
other perfectly. The door panels feature a power window conversion
with window crank electric switches and finishing the interior off
is a custom sound system with a Kenwood X300 headunit, four Quinn
speakers and a Kicker subwoofer, all of which have been custom
trimmed and finished to match the interior. The 1971 El Camino got
fresh front-end styling (again shared with the Chevelle) that
included large Power-Beam single-unit headlights, a reworked grille
and bumper and integral park/signal/marker lights. For 1971,
mandated lower-octane unleaded fuel necessitated a reduction in
engine compression and GM?s A.I.R. system, a ?smog pump,? was added
to control tailpipe emissions. A rebadged El Camino, the GMC Sprint
debuted in 1971. It shared the same engine and transmission
offerings as its Chevrolet counterpart. Competition to this El
Camino in 1971 include Ford?s Ranchero and GMC?s Sprint, along with
the rest of the 1971 light pickup truck market ? Chevrolet?s C10,
Dodge?s D-100, Ford?s F-100, International?s 1010 and GMC?s 1000.

Camino that was built with no expense spared, top quality
craftsmanship with stylish taste that anyone and everyone will
