Chevrolet El Camino 454ci 1972

General description : 1972 Chevrolet El Camino A true Chevy El Camino SS 454ci with a Muncie M20 4-Speed Only 1600 Miles on Engine! One of the classics a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino SS! A creation of the muscle car wars had taken on a level all its own. The El Camino, like all other GM cars, was an uproarious machine that could do burnouts until its tires wore down to the rims! The El Camino was so closely related to the Chevelle that everything from the windshield forward was largely interchangeable throughout both cars' generations, and engines were shared. Perhaps the best-known El Camino model was the legendary SS, and the '72 was the last year for the big-blocks. The SS models came with custom lower trim and grille also came with SS/454 badges on the fenders and SS tailgate. This is a true SS if you breakdown the VIN it would have been a factory 350ci with AC in brown. Now sporting a stunning black paint with white stripes, and the option cowl induction hood that's safely held with hood pins, it is jaw dropping. The big-block 454ci. beast is from a 1970 Chevelle! In the 1960s and early '70s, horsepower was king, and the Chevelle 454 reigned supreme. In the 1970, there were few cars bigger than the Chevrolet 454ci. in fact, the 454 is the largest engine GM had ever bolted to a production car. For strength and reliability, engineers at Chevy stuffed forged-aluminum pistons, forged-steel connecting rods rotating a forged-steel crankshaft, in an iron block. Go-fast parts included solid lifters and aggressive cam! The block is mated to the famous Muncie M20 4-Speed manual transmission, and a 12-bolt rear end with 3:70.1 gears. This combination is legendary. Even has power brakes and power steering! Even today, Chevrolet's big-block 454ci beast gives modern engines a run for their money. The engine and transmission have under 1600 miles on the build. In the wheel and tire department we have American Racing Torq-Thrust Gray/Machined all the way around, with BF Goodrich Radial T/A's front P235/60R15, and rear P275/60R16 tires. This combination gives an aggressive stance that means busyness. Bucket seats and a center console sporting a Hurst shifter makes this a crowd favorite. The NEW black dash and interior upgrades such as a modern AM/FM radio. All the factory correct SS gauges have new lens to give a clear bright look. Seats, door panels, head liner, carpeting are all in excellent condition. Please note the clock is not working (what's new). Very detailed build including a new windshield and side glass. The bed has a new sprayed non slip liner and cover. The undercarriage is rust free with solid floors. This vehicle has been SOLD! Please check out our other ads!

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.
