    Beautiful car,El Caminos hold a special place in my heart,my 11 year old son saw one when he was only 7years old and told me"Dad that's the kind of car I want".He now has a 78 Elco that we're fixing up as a father/son project,It will be ready for him to take his driver license test in a few years and drive to school in.

    I have a 1972 El Camino 350 Custom, A\C Car, Front Disk Brakes, thankfully the previous owner parked it in a barn in Northern California where I live. I just fired it up today after welding up a new exhaust with Flowmasters and Headers, it sounds awesome! Oh it is the same color as yours!

    I am restoring a 71 El Cam custom. Slowly but surely. Like the lower black stripe below the lower side body moulding. Most the time, this was painted in argent silver. Mine is white, w black vinyl top, and your paint scheme idea looks beautiful, so I will likely adopt it as well, I thank you.

      @@markg7030 yes in 71. My brother had a Caprice with the 402 in it. It had 325hp halfway around the air cleaner. In books it was also authenticated. Also, most cars in the muscle car era were underrated for insurance purposes.

    Those wheels might be period correct for the late 80's but certainly not the early 70's.
