Vehicle Description
A custom/comfy interior, an overdrive transmission, and hardy
suspension upgraded with four-wheel disc brakes, all come together
in one slick package to make this 1971 Chevrolet El Camino
Restomod. But what you're going to love the most is a fully-built
Dart motor that gives you serious big block displacement in a small
block package.
This is quite a custom classic, and the paint is your first
indication. Opal Sage is a distinct gray/green color that not only
sets this one apart for its tone, but also for the nice metallic
element that loves to radiate in the sunshine. Plus there's a
terrific set of silver stripes painted on top that are a unique
take on the SS-style units, but now drawing added attention to the
cowl induction hood. Full-length trim, bright chrome bumpers, and a
full tonneau cover over the bed give this the right look of a
quality classic that was also made to be driven. But you also know
something more is going on here. Those Billet Specialties
racing-style wheels and wide Mickey Thompson rear tires hint at the
big power within (more on that in a moment.)
The interior is built for both comfort and speed. That starts with
an upgraded set of dual bucket seats. The modern bolstering means
it keeps you planted better and it also provides all-day comfort.
You'll also appreciate the AM/FM/cassette stereo, upgraded
subwoofer speakers, and air conditioning (it may need servicing to
blow colder/stronger.) And there were also investments to make this
a better performance driver. You have an upgraded sports steering
wheel, Hurst shifter, and added gauges - including a large
column-mounted tach.
Lift the hoods for the best upgrade of them all. This is a Dart
Little M short block. It means you get this iconic 427 cubic-inch
big block displacement, but in a lighter small block package. It's
a fully built package with a Bullet Racing camshaft, AFR 227
Eliminator Race-Ready heads, and Edelbrock air gap intake, a
four-barrel carburetor, and long tube headers feeding into an
X-pipe dual exhaust. It's a serious power package, and you even
have provisions for exhaust cutouts to let the thunder roar. A
strong motor also needs the right pieces to get all this power to
the ground. That starts with a Performance Built Level 3 700R4
four-speed automatic transmission. It's an overdrive unit that's
also rated stout enough for 900 horsepower. There's even a Freak
Show Performance 3500 RPM stall. This feeds a 12-bolt rear with
Trick Flow diff cover. There are also reinforced rear arms with
Lakewood traction bars. Plus, there's power steering and power
four-wheel disc brakes.
Complete with the build receipts, this is a big power machine that
also has a thoughtful all-around style. So if you love a classic
with power and substance, you can't miss this El Camino. Call
