This 1972 El Camino is NOT an SS, although it does have SuperSport badging.

I drove this car mainly through high school, and now that I am in college it is FOR SALE as I need something I can drive daily on and around campus.

Lugnut2683's 1972 Chevrolet El CaminoIn the Summer of 2000, my dad and I pulled the engine after we had discovered a torn distributor gear and totally redid the engine compartment and rebuilt the 350. Just about every component inside and outside of the engine is aftermarket, and parts replaced are simply too many to list!

Lugnut2683's 1972 Chevrolet El CaminoHere you can see how we cleaned up the firewall and hid the wires towards the lower portion of the engine bay. Also notice the custom heater box cover, which was hand fabricated.

Lugnut2683's 1972 Chevrolet El CaminoWhen we first acquired the Elky, the rear area was stock exposing the sheet metal surrounding the bed area. We decided to clean this up by fabricating a custom built speaker enclosure which is carpeted and includes two 10-inch MTX Blue Thunder subwoofers along with an MTX Blue Thunder Pro 752 amplifier.

You can also see my Competition Engineering 3 way adjustable shocks and custom air bladder suspension. The valves for the air suspension protrude from the top two holes on the license plate.

Here are some random pictures of my Elky...

I think you have one of the sweetest El Camino's on the site. I've been having trouble installing a cd player into mine. It keeps on shortening out when I turn other accessories on (i.e. wipers, blinkers). Do you have any ideas on how I can correct this? Thanks.
