Factory 454SS '73 El Camino Custom

There are resto-mods, ild-customs and occasionally something like the Street Beast comes along. It is a thundering 454 cubic-inch V8 equipped 1973 Chevy El Camino SSwith the reliable TH400, hich took a turn on the wild side a short while back – and was ultimately transformed into a full-fledged street custom.

In fact, his street custom with 61,436 miles on the odometer sports a factory-correct 454 engine, ccording toVIN 1D80Y32455661. It was rebuilt at 59,000 original miles, hich included new forged pistons, ods, rank, oller rockers, alves and a mild street cam.

It is an over-the-top build using aftermarket aesthetics and performance add-ons – however, t is much more than just another showstopper at the local circuit.

The high-performance 454 V8 performs great on the street through the linear rpm band. It is complemented by full-length headers and cooled by a BeCool aluminum four-core radiator with Flex fan and an electric pusher fan (with an aluminum overflow tank). Other goodies include an Edlebrock 1405-polished carburetor with manual choke that mates to an Edlebrock polished RPM manifold, mild-street cam, i-torque starter, electronically controlled cutouts with a dual exhaust system, ual batteries with conversion box, hrome front-control struts, ilwood master brake cylinder, lamed valve covers and braided stainless lines throughout. An electronically controlled LED lighting package seals the custom theme under the hood. There’s also a custom trailer hitch.

The Pete Santini custom paint and body work in a Ford Expedition metallic black finish is especially sweet (completed in January 2015 for $10,000), hanks to an arrow-straight original body and hours of professional prep by Santini, hich included molding in a rear roll-pan, buttoned-down working hood scoop and cool sunken taillights. Underneath the body, eveals a 10-bolt rear-end with an aluminum-fin cover, standard limit-slip diff, oxed-steel trailing arms with adjustable uppers and a chromoly 4130 rear sway bar.

The red and black interior is as dramatic, oo. While it is heater and A/C delete currently, he interior features a chrome-plated, ebbed steering wheel, &M racket-style shifter, uto Meter gauges, L 12-inch subwoofers, n Alpine crossover, Pyramid amp, nd Pioneer door speakers.

The beauty of owning this wild and crazy ’73 El Camino is that it is a one-off custom that is not easily duplicated. While it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, t is an absolute attention getter, nd surely a contender for a podium finish at the custom car show.
