Vehicle Description
When a Chevy gets Super Sport badging, you want something special,
right? How about a 454 big block with a ton of go-fast goodies? And
some nitrous on top? Now you're really talking about a serious
muscle machine. And as you dig deeper into this 1971 Chevrolet El
Camino you'll also see the right features to properly handle all
that power.
El Camino always looks great in black. After all, they share the
same muscle car good looks as a Chevelle. And speaking of big power
flair, this also has bold red racing stripes, a cowl induction
hood, hood pins, big exhaust tips, and a nice stance with extra
meaty rear tires. So this has the proper style you want from a big
block SS-style machine. But there's also something more. This
custom build shows just a little extra care in the details. That's
because we were told it spent nearly 30 years under the same
owner.
The dark interior looks good as it mixes vintage style with
upgrades. There's a nice look to the classic bucket seats, door
panels, center console, and dash. You have convenient features like
cup holders and power windows. This appeals to be a factory A/C
car. But you will need to add back many of the components if you
want it because most were removed for the sake of speed. In fact,
speaking of power, you can tell this one was built for plenty of
it. Behind the seat are controls for the upgraded ignition, Gear
Vendors overdrive, and nitrous system. And you can see an added
switch console ahead of the horseshoe shifter. So with all these
speedy details, it's nice to have the steering wheel mounted on a
tilt column. That way you know you have a clear view to the speedo,
tach, and the upgraded readouts.
Under the hood is a clean and mean big block that's built for
speed. This 454 cubic-inch V8 includes a Demon four-barrel
carburetor, an Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake, and long tube headers
that add power and rumble to the X-pipe dual exhaust. And that
nitrous system you way means this has the power to really be the
king of the blacktop. But you also need the proper control. That's
why you have a stout TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, and
it has a Gear Vendors overdrive to basically double your ratios for
whenever you need to expand your powerband. This feeds a 12-bolt
rear end fortified with Strange Engineering internals. And the rear
also has strong Hotchkis components and a sway bar. Add in power
steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and wide Cooper Cobra
tires, and this is an awesome total package that lets you enjoy all
the power with ease.
This is a big power El Camino that also has poise. So you know it's
a special muscle machine that you want to get your hands on right
now.
