Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1972 Chevrolet El Camino SS Tribute! In the late 50s Chevrolet decided to try their hand at making coupe utility vehicle following the success of Ford's Ranchero. As all successes go there is always another that wants a piece of the pie. With that said it wasn't long until Chevy unveiled the El Camino and it was an instant hit selling more its first year than the Ranchero did in its first year, 2 years prior. The El Camino would see 5 generations spanning nearly 25 years! This model is a '72 and is a Super Sport Tribute. The recent coat of Candy Apple Rally Red paint with black stripes looks iconic for the era. Color beautifully shows off the angles of the car and just makes you want to hop in and go for a ride! The American Racing Wheels are wrapped in Cooper Cobra tires and give her a nice stance. Bed is nicely lined with a spray-in-liner. Inside you'll find nice black leather seats that look both comfortable and hardly used. Under the hood is a rebuilt crate 355ci V8 bored .30 over and backed by a rebuilt Turbo 350 3-speed automatic transmission w/stall converter.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
