SS Tribute is an exceptionally well-built example of one of
Chevrolet?s most iconic muscle-era hybrids, combining classic
big-block performance with show-quality restoration and
street-ready drivability. Every aspect of this El Camino has been
carefully addressed, resulting in a vehicle that not only looks
incredible but is mechanically sorted from front to back. It
captures the aggressive spirit of the SS models while offering the
usability and comfort that make El Caminos so appealing to
enthusiasts. Power comes from a professionally rebuilt 1972 402ci
big-block V8 by LaPouttre Racing Heads/Engines, featuring all-new
internal components throughout. From pistons and bearings to cam,
lifters, and valvetrain, no corners were cut. The engine is topped
with an Edelbrock intake and 750 Demon carburetor, backed by new
Hedman headers and a full 2.5-inch dual exhaust with stainless tips
for a proper big-block sound. Supporting systems were equally
refreshed, including the cooling system, ignition, charging
components, and fuel delivery, ensuring reliability and strong
performance.The drivetrain is completed by a professionally rebuilt
Turbo 350 automatic transmission with a shift kit, rebuilt by
MidMichigan Transmissions. Suspension and braking components were
professionally installed and refreshed, including new U-joints,
rebuilt brakes front and rear, new shocks, and rear air shocks. The
stock limited-slip rear end has been serviced with fresh fluid,
maintaining drivability while handling the added power
confidently.Inside, the El Camino features a fully restored
interior by Superior Interiors, including a newly upholstered seat,
carpet, headliner, door panels, weather stripping, and updated
gauges. A factory-upgraded stereo blends modern convenience with a
classic look. The exterior restoration was completed by Discount
Glass & Body LLC using Matrix Systems paint, retaining
original GM fenders, doors, and tailgate. A functional cowl hood,
fresh chrome accents, new glass, lighting, wheels, tires, and a
spray-in bed liner complete the build.This El Camino SS Tribute is
a turnkey muscle-era classic that offers show presence, strong
performance, and the confidence to drive and enjoy it.
