Vehicle Description
Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 23rd year in the
classic and muscle car business. Chevrolet's El Camino was a coupe
utility vehicle that was introduced in 1959 to compete with Ford's
similar Ranchero. Ford of Australia was the first company to offer
a coupe utility in 1934, the result of a letter from a farmer's
wife that requested a vehicle to go to church in on Sunday and
which can carry our pigs to market on Monday. Together with the
Ranchero, the El Camino proved that there was an American market
for a sedan-based utility vehicle that could perform most of the
duties of a light truck. The advantages were many, including a much
larger list of available options and a very comfortable ride from a
sedan-based suspension. Our sharp 1972 El Camino Deluxe (13680) is
a nice specimen of a coupe utility that readily demonstrates those
virtues. Lift the striped hood and you'll find a healthy example of
Chevy's venerable 350 V8 that's sporting an Edelbrock carburetor
and HEI. Additional features include power steering, power front
disc brakes, air conditioning, automatic transmission, 12-bolt rear
end with 2.73 gears (KD), a Kenwood stereo, auxiliary gauges, and
RWL Cooper tires (215/70R15 F, 225/70R15 R) on American Racing
wheels. Documentation includes original owner's manual and
Protect-O-Plate, which confirms that the PS, PFDB, and A/C were
factory installed. It also shows that 8/11/22 will be exactly 50
years since this gem went home with Mr. Greer. This classic runs
and drives beautifully, with a plush ride and relaxed gait provided
by the 2.73 gears. More fun from the team that can make your dream
a reality. Street Dreams (830-997-1950) is a full service
dealership that can assist with worldwide delivery, insurance, and
