Imagine, if you will, that you are able to go back in time and buy a new car what would you buy in order to maximize your return? If it were me, I think I'd probably go shopping at my local Chevy dealer and pick up a big block ElCamino SS. If this car is any indicator, I'm definitely not alone. I would count the builder of this 1971 El Camino as a fellow enthusiast who thinks along those same lines. But let's not delve into pieces and parts yet. Let's talk about how great the car looks. Bottom line? The black is absolutely killer in person. Forget red and burgundy and El Camino's, This is the one you want. It is vivid, deep, and glossy and given proper care, this SS will look this good forever.

OK, I'll get on with it - you really want to know what's going on underneath, don't you? Here's the deal: It's a 454 cubic inch with chrome valve covers and a Chrome Chevrolet air cleaner. Of course, the engine was properly detailed after it was nestled into that fully restored engine bay, and surrounded with date-code correct parts throughout, making this a highly accurate car. The intake is correct, the water pump is correct, the carburetor is correct. The power brake and power steering systems have been fully restored as well. The transmission is the original automatic matched to the stock 3.73 geared rear end.

Inside is one of the nicest interiors I've seen in a long time. Black seats are a perfect complement to the car's racy but sophisticated exterior, and every single piece looks great. From the sun visors to the carpet. The seats have nice foam and covers, the door panels are like new, and the dashboard is full of SS-correct gauges. All the glass is correctly date-coded and tinted, the shift lever is the correct unit, and an AM/FM sound system is nestled into the center of the dash. The SS steering wheel looks and feels flawless. So think back to 1971 and pick your favorite brand of muscle. If you're a Chevy guy, a car like this SS 454 El Camino is truly something special. And that tells you everything you need to know about this car-detailed, beautiful, powerful, and unique.
