Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1972 Chevrolet El Camino SS Tribute. This 1972 Chevrolet El Camino Tribute is a deep dark machine and it even has a solid big block under the hood to back it all up. And as you look over all the details, you can see a classic that was built for all around enjoyment. The dark color is pure intimidation, but theres more going on here, The black paint has a glossy finish that likes to radiate in the sunshine. Its laid over well-fitting body panels, so you get a crisp look at the iconic sheet metal. Bright bumpers, complete trim and doors that close with confidence give this an overall look of quality. And the contrasting white racing stripes are painted on the hood. So it not only reminds you that tis one is a speedy machine. The interior follow the exteriors lead and delivers a dark style and driver-ready package. It feels like a proper drivers classic with high-back bucket seats, an DD steering wheel, a title column, and a center console with a horseshoe shifter. And the readouts have been fully updated with crisp white faced gauges in the dash and the essential auxiliary trio neatly mounted underneath. The aggressive style continues on upgrades like the cowl hood, hood pins, SS grille, and correct badging. There are valuable details. like the spray-in liner paint protecting the bed with the chrome and black ridge stripes to add luster, and a equalizer hitch on the rear. It all makes for a sharp looking street machine with an overall style that looks good without being a museum piece. Under the hood is a well-done 454 cubic-inch V8 upgrade. It looks great with a bold block and matching painted finned valve covers. We especially like to see the air grabber that seals to the fresh cowl induction hood. Its part of a package that includes Holley Street Avenger four barrel carburetor and Holley heat shield with an aluminum intake manifold to let this mighty motor inhale better. This makes a robust setup that fires up eagerly and runs great. And the three-speed turbo automatic transmission shifts smoothly to give you a cruiser feeling. Plus the power steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide B F Goodrich radial T/As are all there to make this classic muscle car/truck an all around driver. A new aluminum radiator with duel thermal controlled fans has been added. The dash and dash wiring have been replaced. A right side matching outside mirror has been added. The electric brake booster was replaced with a vacuum pump booster. New seat belts and shoulder straps have been updated. Complete R134 A/C system including compressor and evaporator has been upgraded from under hood to dash controls, dash vents, and all hoses and fan. New American Racing Wheels were installed and much easier to maintain balancing than the older series Cragers. An AM/FM radio has been installed, however no speakers have been added. Due to the high roller camshaft, you wouldnt be able to hear it anyway.The new wiring harness behind the dash makes the lights and gauges operate as desired. The speedometer cable has been replaced and synchronized to correct the speed display. The NK4 steering wheel has been replaced with an SS Steering wheel. The trio gauges under the dash have been added to enhance the dash instruments with the same white background. A full-sized spare in installed behind the passenger seat and mounted to a factory rally wheel. This El Camino is truly an amazing daily driver or a show vehicle, whichever you choose. The awesome sound of acceleration is defining. It handles and rides like a new vehicle. A head-turner, thumbs up at every corner. An easy keeper to say the least.
