"SO DAMN SEXY EVEN THE CATS CAN'T KEEP THEIR PAWS OFF IT!"

454_Prowler's 1971 Chevrolet El Camino

This is a hilarious picture I took by mistake.  I noticed that cat creeping next to my car but never did I think I would capture an instant classic.  More info on it later.

 

My Pride, My Joy

A Quick Biography:

          This was my high school ride. Ever since then I've tried keeping it clean and looking sharp. I bought this car off a dealership for 13k a few years ago who claimed the car was running on a 350 small block. And needless to say, I got myself a deal. After about 5 months of fooling around, I began running into a few problems with the water pump. After trying to replace it with one fitted for a 350 and realized the size was way too small, I exchanged it for one fitted for a 454 and what do you know! IT FIT! Anyways, I've done a few modifications that I will soon post for you guys.  I'm all ears when it comes to performance mods so if you got any ideas and or any recommendations hit me up. I will try to keep you guys updated on videos, Pics, Mods, and literally anything that pops up in mind.

 

          During the time I've owned this car I've gotten into one collision.  There weren't any severe damages done to the car but it just so happened that the left rear axel broke off that sent me spinning 360 degrees on the freeway of which I had been traveling at about 70-80 miles an hour.  Thankfully my car survived with little damge.  The paint, however, cracked and needed a complete new paint job on the drivers side which totaled to a cost of $3,000. AND THAT'S JUST THE COST OF ONE SIDE! Anyways I've done a few upgrades to the engine, interior, and exterior.  The car is being garage kept.  I am very careful about washing my car so it hasn't seen water in I'd say for 6 months and counting.  The reason I don't drive this beast anymore is because I want to preserve it as these just don't come by like they used to, though when it's on the streets, it hauls like a BULL on STEROIDS !

The Owner: Johnny L.

          I'm currently 19. I'm attending college with a Major in CE but I'm having second thoughts as to getting a degree as an ME.  My interest include muscle cars, stencil art, skateboarding, music (mostly 80's punk rock and thrash), and most importantly SPEEDING!  I have a passion for muscle cars and plan to start my own collection once I get a jump start on my career.  I'm currently seeking internships so if you know of any I welcome any recommendation as long as its in the fields of computer engineering and or Auto works.  My cars of interest are as follows: 1969 Dodge Challenger,  1969 Dodge Charger R/T, 1969 Hemi Cuda,  1969 Mustang Mach 1,  1970 Chevelle ss,  1969 Camaro rs/ss,  1969 Pontiac GTO, and Nissan Skyline R34.

 

1971 El Camino SS

Currently there are no real performance mods as i have tried keeping it stock.  I installed  an interior lighting kit to match the colors of the car... Furious Red.  Please note that these pictures were taken a while back and the aftermarket steering wheel you see has been replaced with an SS steering wheel that i found in the back seat when I originally bought the car that had minor cracks which I managedto repair myself.  The SS steering wheel is made of a hard plastic.

 

I'll trying uploading some current pictures as well as keep you update as to what performance mods I plan on adding.
