Vehicle Description
This custom 1972 Chevrolet El Camino EV pickup was built by Vintage
Iron and Restoration and is powered by two NetGain HyPer9 electric
motors producing 650 ft/lbs of torque at 9,000 rpm, connected to a
Torque Trends torque box that sends power to the rear differential.
This El Camino features custom metalwork closing off the engine bay
and a polished aluminum cover that conceals the electric motors.
It's also fitted with two large battery banks: one in the hood and
the other in the bed. The charging and battery management is
handled by two onboard Thunderstruck 3.3-kW charging units. Fully
charged, this El Camino has an estimated range of 150 miles. The
custom-built chassis has front and rear independent suspension,
along with a Mustang II front suspension and a rear end from a 1992
Ford Thunderbird. It also includes electric power steering, 4-wheel
Wilwood disc brakes and QA1 coilovers. The vehicle's gross weight
is 3,800 pounds with 47% front and 53% rear weight distribution.
The bed is covered with a locking soft-style tonneau cover. The
exterior is finished in custom-mixed black paint with gold flakes,
and the truck rides on 17-inch American Racing VN510-series wheels
wrapped in Michelin EV-rated tires. Interior features include
Dakota Digital gauges, electric air conditioning, a custom-built
center console and an audio system with a Bluetooth-equipped head
unit. 1,000 test miles since completion. ** TITLED AS 1972 CHEV
