This 1972 Chevrolet El Camino SS LS5 was repainted in blue with white hood stripes, and the interior was re-trimmed in black before it was purchased by the owner in 2021. Power is provided by a 454ci V8 that is topped with an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, a four-barrel carburetor, and a cowl induction air cleaner assembly, and the four-speed automatic transmission is linked to a 10-bolt rear end. The chassis has been modified with Ridetech StrongArms front control arms, tubular rear control arms, and adjustable coilovers along with power-assisted Wilwood disc brakes with slotted rotors at each corner. Inside, the bucket seats are accompanied by a center console, a horseshoe shifter, retractable shoulder belts, and a Custom Autosound digital stereo. This El Camino SS is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with a clean California title in the owner’s name.

The pickup was finished from the factory in Covert Tan and was repainted in blue with white stripes under prior ownership. Exterior details include a cowl-induction hood, body-color side mirrors, locking hood pins, a drop-down tailgate, and chrome bumpers and trim.

The chassis has been modified with Ridetech StrongArms tubular front control arms, tubular rear control arms, and adjustable coilovers at all four corners. The car has power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted Wilwood four-wheel discs with slotted rotors all around and six-piston calipers up front. Polished 17″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are wrapped in staggered Toyo Extensa HP tires.

The cabin was re-trimmed in black under prior ownership and houses bucket seats along with coordinated carpets and door panels. Appointments include a center console, a horseshoe shifter, and a Custom Autosound digital stereo unit. The seller notes the air conditioning does not blow cold air.

The SS-branded steering wheel wears an aftermarket wrap, is mounted on a tilting column, and frames a 120-mph speedometer, a clock, and a fuel-level gauge. Auto Gage readouts for oil pressure, voltage, and water temperature are mounted below the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 62k miles, fewer than 1k of which were added under current ownership.

The VIN indicates the car left the factory equipped with a 454ci LS5 V8. The currently installed 454ci V8 is topped with an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, a four-barrel carburetor, and a cowl induction air cleaner assembly.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission that is believed to be a 700R4 unit and is linked to a 10-bolt rear end. The dual exhaust system has Flowmaster mufflers.
