1972 Chevrolet Elcamino Yellow

The classic A-body design of this 1972 Chevrolet El has been augmented inside and out, with its bright yellow color, revamped and leather-trimmed interior, and a swap from the original 350 V8 to a 454 big-block equipped with electronically controlled fuel injection. The engine is backed by a 700R-4 automatic, according to the seller, which enhances highway driving with overdrive. There’s even new, cold-blowing air conditioning, notes the seller, along with a number of other updates. The truck is said to have lived its whole life in the dry fornia air.  

Originally equipped with a 350, this El is now powered by a 454-cu.in. OHV V8 that is said to start, idle, and run well with a y EFI system. It’s also fitted with cast-iron heads, a performance camshaft, an aluminum intake manifold, and long-tube headers, while the cooling system has a recently installed pion radiator. The engine is paired with a 700R-4 four-speed automatic transmission that was reportedly rebuilt within the past 5,000 miles and is said to shift “perfectly.” It channels the big-block’s torque to a 12-bolt rear axle, notes the seller. 

The age of this El ’s yellow paintwork is unknown, but appears to have held up well. “It’s very good,” says the seller, who adds there are “no blemishes” in the finish. The exterior trim and chrome also appear in very good condition, with an SS badge added to the grille and SS stripes added to the body. A cowl induction hood with hood pins was also added. There’s a spray-on bed liner, which appears in good shape. The same is said of the glass and seals, with no reported cracks or chips in the windshield and no known leaks from the seals. All the exterior lights are reported functional. 

ide, the interior appears in very good condition, with the original bench seat changed for a pair of black leather-trimmed bucket seats and console between them. The seat covers and carpet appear in very good shape, with little apparent wear. There are no holes or rips in them, notes the seller, and there are no issues reported with the headliner, door panels, or dash pad. Additional modernization upgrades to the cabin include an aftermarket steering wheel, an aftermarket shifter, a Digital instrument panel, and a new ntage Air A/C system. All are said to be in good, working condition. There’s also a tuner interface for the EFI system mounted on the console, and a modern neer radio serves up the audio.  

ing to the seller, the chassis, suspension, and braking components are in good condition, with no reported issues or needs. Upgrades includes tubular front control arms and disc brakes, according to the seller, and the truck rolls on 205/70R15 nkook radials mounted on Weld r e wheels. All are said to be in very good shape, with no reported curb rash or blemishes on the wheels. The age of the tires is not specified, but a single DOT date code from 2018 is visible.
