Vehicle Description
Slick paint, ghost flames, and a leather-lined full custom A/C
interior are all part of the big investments in this 1971 Chevrolet
El Camino SS 454 restomod. So you should already be excited before
you check out the performance-built big block, four-wheel disc
brakes, upgraded suspension, and four-on the-floor.
There's less than 4k miles on this El Camino since completing its
frame-off restoration, and the thoughtfulness of this build can be
seen everywhere. It all starts with the paint. This might resemble
Chevy's legendary Hugger Orange, but you'll never mistake it for
that once the sunlight hits this pickup. Instead, during the
thorough restoration an absolutely amazing shade of Sunburst Orange
was applied. It's better than anything to come out of the '70s,
because not even Hugger Orange has the kind of sparkle that
radiates from this metallic paint. Added to this is a custom set of
ghost flames running up the hood. It sets off a performance feeling
that's continued in details like the hood pins and wide exhaust
tips. There's an amazing sleekness over the whole body, including
expertly deleting trim and the door handles. There's even a
flush-fitting tonneau cover. It's on an electric hinge to rise up
and make jaws drop. That's because the bed is now lined with
gorgeous smooth lumber, and there's even a custom surf board
mounted to the top. So you know the days of this truck bed carrying
heavy loads is long gone, and instead, it's there just to haul home
the trophies. Shining bumpers, clear headlights, and awesome trim
make for terrific brightwork. And those Boyds wheels add to the
shine while also giving this a 17/20 inch front/rear intimidating
stance.

This is a nice mix of premium and performance, and the seats set
the tone perfectly. They are high-back racing-style units that are
also finished in a supple tan leather. The clean presentation of
the seats matches the cup holder center console, rear panel,
headliner, and the custom door panels for a thoughtful
presentation. There are more great features, including cold-blowing
air conditioning, power windows, power steering, and an AM/FM/CD
stereo with USB input and Bluetooth for the best in modern driving
music. The Grant sports steering wheel is on a tilt column, and it
gives you a clear view to the clean dash that's color matched to
the exterior. It's full of professional-grade AutoMeter Pro-Comp
Ultra-Liter readouts, and that large tach goes particularly nicely
with the floor shifter.
An engine bay stuffed with big block V8 power always gets us
excited. This one looks nice with the proper bold block, polished
air topper with 454 callouts, and cast valve covers. And it's great
to see the gasket around the air grabber to seal this one to the
fresh air cowl induction hood. Other performance pieces include the
Holley 650 double-pumper four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake,
HEI distributor, and headers feeding the thunderous Flowmaster dual
exhaust. It's a strong powerhouse that said to be rated at 400+
horsepower, and you get to take firm control over it all with the
Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission. There are
stout upgrades, like the 12-bolt rear end, boxed trailing arms, and
rear sway bar. And the modern ZR-rated tires and four-wheel drilled
& slotted disc brakes keep it all under your control.
Sleek, custom, comfy, and absolutely powerful - this restomod is
for the kind of person who demands the best of everything. So if
you want all eyes on you tomorrow, you need to call today!
