Vehicle Description
Everyone knows about the legendary Chevrolet Super Sports, but how
many of those do you see that are actually properly recorded as
true Super Sports, much less for an El Camino? Legitimately, this
1972 Chevrolet El Camino SS is the real deal. It's even
fully-documented, complete with an original window sticker marking
the "SS" option and an original Protect-O-Plate as well as the
factory owner's manual. It's show-quality inside and out, being
completely and stunningly restored in the late 1990s. It's tough to
put down in words just how remarkable this mean El Camino really
is, and with only 77,595 believed-to-be original miles clocked on
the odometer, its got plenty of life left in it! Powered by a
numbers-matching 350 C.I. V8 breathing through a 4-barrel
carburetor, this Chevy pickup is ready to peel out a moment's
notice. Torque is put to the pavement through a smooth-shifting
3-speed automatic transmission, sure to put a smile on your face as
this pickup glides down the highway. The exterior is bathed in the
correct "Cranberry Red" exterior paint, a true show-quality job
which gleams in the sun after being buffed to a brilliant shine.
That paint is complimented by a set of gorgeous black SS rally
stripes, both reflecting like a mirror with their stunning finish.
Bodylines are laser-straight, and the exterior chrome brightwork
looks excellent. In addition, the floors, frame, trunk and jambs
are all rock-solid and in great shape! Opening the twin doors
reveals a gorgeous black vinyl interior, stunningly original with
comfy patterned bench seats(with a fold-down center armrest!) and
ice-cold factory A/C to keep you cool. Speaking of which, this '72
El Camino has plenty of options, including power steering, power
brakes, front disc brakes, ice-cold factory A/C, an original AM
pushbutton radio, the original gauges & clock, under-dash aux.
gauges, the factory window sticker, the original Protect-O-Plate
and owner's manual, a show-quality engine bay, a spare tire, vent
windows, a driver's-side remote mirror, dual chrome mirrors, hood
pins, and a mean-sounding dual exhaust system. Keeping to this
pickup's theme of originality and correctness, the truck rides on a
shiny set of 15" chrome Cragar SS wheels over B.F. Goodrich RWL
tires for a factory-fresh appearance (with a great stance) that
looks as if this El Camino just rolled off the showroom floor. With
the way this El Camino runs and drives, you're always in for a good
time behind the wheel. It isn't very often you come across an El
Camino SS of any sort, much less one with the sort of documentation
and correctness that this one has got. It isn't going to stick
around the showroom for long, so don't let it pass you by!
