FRESHLY BUILT 396CI BIG BLOCK, NEW RICHMOND 4 SPEED, VINTAGE A/C/HEAT, NICE ELCO

Chevrolet El Camino 1971 Description

If you're unhappy with your Chevelle's lack of trunk space, llow us to suggest an alternative: this awesome Rally Red 1971 El Camino, omplete with a 396 cubic inch big block under the hood and a 4-speed between the seats. Styling was a high-water mark for the 1971 A-bodies and many find them to be the most attractive of all. With a recent restoration that looks and drives extremely well, his El Camino belongs at the top of your shopping list if you're looking for inexpensive, ractical fun.Looking extremely handsome in basic black with bright red SS stripes, his El Camino was repainted not too long ago and it's holding up very well. Thanks to limited use and great care by a hobbyist, ts working days are probably over, o shining up the paint on a Saturday afternoon is routine. Panel gaps are pretty good considering that this is half truck, nd the cowl induction hood gives it an aggressive look. Red SS stripes were added, long with appropriate SS badges in all the correct locations, ompleting the transformation. All the chrome and stainless, ncluding the trim around the pickup bed, s in very good condition with few signs of hard labor behind it. A blacked-out SS grille up front looks correct and is in excellent condition. And just in case you do have a few errands to run, he bed was coated with a spray-in bed liner that looks great and really cleans things up in the cargo bay.The black interior is as nice as the body, ith a pair of late-model buckets and plenty of legroom up front. Accurate door panels and new black carpets and headliner were installed at the same time and give the interior a sporty vibe; from behind the wheel, ou can't tell it's not a Chevelle. The dash is original, ith functional gauges and a beautiful dash pad, nd in the spirit of performance, here's a column-mounted tach and auxiliary gauges underneath, ust ahead of the 4-speed Hurst shifter with cue ball knob. It's also got ice cold Vintage Air A/C, powerful AM/FM/CD stereo system, nd a small console between the seats so it's great for long highway trips. The steering wheel is a handsome wood-rimmed piece that fits well in the vintage passenger compartment, iving it an upscale look. The engine is a stout 396 cubic inch V8, ully dressed for duty in the El Camino. With chrome valve covers, actory open-element air cleaner, nd original style exhaust manifolds, t could easily pass for an OEM installation. However, nder the air cleaner lives an Edelbrock 454 Performance Package that includes an upgraded cam and intake manifold, ll fed by an MSD fuel injection system. A full 3-inch X-pipe exhaust system with MagnaFlow mufflers gives it a fantastic big block bark, nd the slick-shifting Richmond 4-speed doesn't mind the occasional hard shift in the heat of combat. A heavy-duty 12-bolt rear end doesn't mind the horsepower one bit and the brakes were recently overhauled and new shocks were fitted at all four corners. It rolls on a set of handsome 15-inch Rally wheels wearing 235/60/15 front and 255/60/15 rear BFGoodrich T/A radials. Look at the photos again, hen the price. This is a clean, olid El Camino with big block power and a great paint job. For a fun, ig block muscle car with enough practicality to work for a living, ou could hardly do better than this great-looking '71 El Camino. Call today!
