1973 Chevrolet El Camino SS CLONE Additional Info:
Just got my El Camino back from the paint shop. The color is Blue My Mind and Laguna Blue in paint charts. This is a 2015 Corvette color and is metallic. This was a $5,000 base coat, lear coat paint job. The paint job is stunning in the sunlight!
All new rubber door and window moldings, lus window felts.
People ask, hy are you selling? I am 64 and I retired due to medical issues. I am selling my assets for retirement.
Extremely straight original Idaho car. Only rust was in rear quarter panels and I bought brand new Goodmark RH and LH quarter panels from Summit Racing and had them installed. No rust anywhere on the car now.
Grille and front bumper are off a 1975 model. In my opinion, hey are much sharper looking. It has a NOS SS grille emblem, ut it is not an SS.
All the emblems and moldings were shaved for a smooth finish and look. Front and rear bumpers in excellent condition. All chrome and stainless in very good condition.
Engine is a newer 87-95 center bolt valve style. It is a 350 cubic inch or 5.7 L. It was rebuilt about 2,000 miles ago. It has an MSD HEI distributor, delbrock intake and 1406 carb (elec choke), eaders, ual exhaust and it has a very healthy cam. New Roush Racing cast aluminum finned valve cover (RETRO) Estimating it to have 350-400HP. Very throttle responsive.Has K&N air cleaner.
Transmission was rebuilt at the same time and has a Stage 1 shift kit. It it the Turbo 350 3 speed. Shifts are firm, ut not obnoxious. It has a 10 bolt posi rear end. Not sure of the ratio, ut it cruises nicely at 65-75. Has PS and PB, ut not an A/C car.
Bed has high quality black spray in bed liner, o it is usable.
Starts, uns, rives and handles exceptionally well. Power disc brakes in front and drums in rear. This is a fun driver that gets attention!
Dash and carpet are new and are black. Original style loop pile molded carpet was installed over sound barrier/insulator material. Seat, eadliner and door panels are medium blue. Has new Pioneer AM-FM-CD Aux stereo with 4 Pioneer speakers. Interior is in excellent condition.
Replaced the stock idiot light dash with an SS dash from another 73 El Camino. The SS instrument cluster has all the gauges including tachometer. Also replaced the original steering wheel with an SS style (Grant) steering wheel.
It has Western Mag wheels with new Dayton SR radials. 215/70R/14.
New front windshield with built in antennae and blue tint at top.
Original odometer shows 9,435 miles, ut it has turned over.
NADA shows the average retail for a 73 El Camino at $13,475 and high retail at 22,575. This car is in exceptional condition!
