Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you this simply awesome
1972 Chevrolet El Camino. This sure isn't your run-of-the-mill El
Camino - this is a numbers-matching 402ci big block car with a
numbers-matching 3-speed automatic transmission, Fitech fuel
injection, cold factory air conditioning, power steering, power
brakes, gleaming chrome trim, slick paint, a cowl hood, a stunning
houndstooth interior, and only 46,442 actual miles! This beauty
checks all the boxes! This El Camino comes to us dressed in a
glossy and bright coat of Cranberry Red paint (GM#2189) in good
driver condition with painted black SS stripes. The car was
originally an Antique White car with Placer Gold upper and lower
sections but the only evidence of that today is what is stamped on
the trim tag. The front end of the car is a real eye-catcher with a
cowl hood with "Cowl Induction" badges and a set of bright hood
pins. The good looks continue with bright bezels surrounding the
large "Power-Beam" single unit headlights, bright trim around the
side marker lights, a 4-bar horizontal grille with a centered "SS"
badge, and a mirror-finish bumper with bumper guards. While this El
Camino wears SS badging there is no way to tell if it was born an
SS car without documentation (only 454ci cars were mandatorily
equipped with the SS package). Looking down the sides of the car
you'll see that the body is exceptionally straight with good panel
fitment. Just like the front of the car, the sides feature their
share of brilliant brightwork including wheel lip molding, drip
rail molding, window trim, door handles, bed rail trim, and SS
fender badges. Adding to the sporty side view are dual color-keyed
side mirrors. Around the back, you'll find another gleaming bumper,
dual chrome exhaust tips, a red tailgate with a black horizontal
band and integrated reverse lights, brightly trimmed taillights,
and a clean bed with a fitted black rubber mat to keep it nice.
This whole gorgeous package sits proudly atop a set of steel Rally
wheels with center caps and beauty rings, all wrapped in
Mastercraft Avenger GT tires - a perfect combination for the look
of this El Camino!
Pull the pins and lift the cowl hood to find a tidy and organized
black engine bay with a big orange 402ci V-8 at the center. The
paint has been scraped off of the front engine tab, making it very
easy to see the numbers that verify this car was born with this
engine. This big block is topped off with chrome "Chevrolet" logo
valve covers, FiTech fuel injection, and a chrome "Chevrolet" air
cleaner. Exhaust flows through cast manifolds, newer pipes, and
newer Flowmaster mufflers before exiting the chrome tips with a
satisfying rumble. Other highlights under the hood include power
steering, power brakes (front discs/rear drums), and working
factory A/C. The big V-8 is mated to the original numbers-matching
TH400 3-speed automatic transmission. Power gets put to the
pavement via a 12-bolt rear end with open gears. Take a peak
underneath at the clean black undercarriage and find unexpected
extras like a new gas tank and a new front sway bar with fresh
bushings.
When you open the driver's door you're greeted by a working
courtesy light that illuminates a jaw-droppingly cool black and
white houndstooth interior. This interior was not an option for the
72 El Camino, but when you see how good it looks you'll wonder why
not! The door panels feature padded black vinyl with black white
houndstooth cloth inserts, OEM-style armrests, and window cranks. A
shining sill plate leads to a newer black carpet that welcomes you
inside. The comfortable black vinyl bench seat mimics the door
panels with houndstooth cloth inserts and offers seatbelts for 3
passengers. The black padded vinyl dash pad is in excellent
condition and looks like new. The dash is home to a 120mph
speedometer, a fuel gauge, and an analog clock. Several aftermarket
gauges have been added; an SW trans oil temp gauge and an Equus
water temp gauge have both been installed in the dash while an
Autometer vacuum gauge is mounted under the dash. Speaking of under
the dash, a battery cut-off button has been added for security and
to preserve battery life. Also found on the dash are the original
Delco AM push-button radio (inop.) and factory climate controls
that operate the cold A/C, hot heat, and working fan. Directly
ahead of the driver is a 2-spoke black OEM steering wheel on a tilt
column while ahead of the passenger is an empty glovebox. Sitting
on the center tunnel is an aftermarket cup-holder/storage box
dressed in red vinyl that serves as a home to the Fitech controller
screen. Overhead you'll find a tight black vinyl headliner and
behind the seat is a full spare with a factory jack.
If you're looking for an El Camino, it's going to be impossible for
you to not want to stop and take a hard look at this beautiful
example! This car fires right up every time (courtesy of the fuel
injection) and runs as good as it looks. It's tough to find one of
these big block El Caminos with a numbers-matching drivetrain and
working factory A/C and you'll likely never find another with a
houndstooth interior! Give our friendly staff a call - we surely
won't have this car for long!
