    These rare classics are getting harder to obtain this is an example of a sweet collector beauty.

    Do you know that this EL only had 175 HP for a 350 in 1973 because of anti pollution of the day. Test drive was only 75 - 80 through the 1/4 mile in that day. I hope that I cave you some insight of days past. Love you all, old Man that knows about cars. And I am sure many of you have read my posts.

    For me, as a kid in the 70s, I used to see these things and think it was no big deal. To me, it was an open station wagon. Almost 50 years later, in a world of SUVs and pickups, I give a rip when I see a SUV or truck. I check out these guys (and most aren't in such nice shape as this one) now because they're indeed unique and special. Nostalgia fact: Florists and gardening shops always had a couple of these.

    Good example of a driver that can be cleaned up as you enjoy it. Great deal to be had for someone, should go quickly.

    Use the vice grips from the yellow nova to secure the seatbelt.

    Someday I’ll be on the ball and get something I want from you. Love it or hate it body style. I had a 73 Chevelle Malibu. Great little car. Love this El Camino.

    I had a 70 El Camino. The body was in decent shape but the bed was not so good. It had a small block Chevy and ran decent. Very handy vehicle to own though.

    My dad had one of these it was a 1973 El Camino it was hunter green with white stripes and it was an SS cuz it had the bucket seats that had the lever that if you pushed with turn and the seat would turn sideways so you can get in and out easier

    Hell of a deal on this one - wouldn't doubt miles are original. Maybe even the paint. Numbers matching motor still there, and as clean as it is, as good as it drives, could very well be original miles. This car has been well taken care of. This could easily bring $20K+ if put up for auction. One of the nicer cars I've seen on here.

    I had a 73 Camaro when I was in highschool in the 80s ,, It had a 307 originally and I put a 327 out of a 65 SS in it with aluminum intake,, Holley 4 barrel and dual exhaust! It was awesome and so is this 73 El Camino the Mullet of the Car World !!
    Looks n drives Sweet !! Only thing I would put some headers on it since I never put headers on my Camaro I would have to put some on the 73 Mullet !!!

    Haven't seen that Greengold #46 color in a long time! Popular 1973 color was probably repainted a different color by some restorers. Rare find!

    • @zurnie
      @zurnie ปีที่แล้ว

      The car my Dad taught me to drive in was a '72 Bonneville in that color with a 455 V8. I loved that car right up to the day I "borrowed" it after school and blew up the engine due to a bent valve Dad didn't tell me about. He didn't think I needed to know as I did not have a driver license yet.

    Dang nice car! Tempting. The bumpers in 73 for all cars though....puke. and these Elkes had the tail lights integrated into the bumpers so really hard to get rid of them. Super nice ride though. Rare to find a matching numbers Elke of any year, but especially the 70s cars.

    It's probably the best vehicle on the lot .the paint doesn't match on the driver's door so repaint it and you have a really good vehicle the price is exactly where it should be because these are getting harder to find

    A friend of mine had a 73 elco with 454. Would have been faster with the 350 from the factory. Just at the beginning of the 70s energy crisis. Down tuned everything v8 in them days. I think my 73 mouse with the 351 Cleveland put out 163 hp. 74 the mustang has a 4 cylinder engine. Lol. Today's energy crisis they put LS and hellcat engines into everything. Do like the elco. Always wanted one 👍

    When a customer buys a car and finances it. Do they have to pay a separate fee to a shipping company or does the financing add the fee to the total out the door fee?

    Hi Nick, thanks for posting as you know I'm from the UK just a question really, so why did Chevrolet feel the need to produce this classic with the amount & variation on pick ups available in the states & what was this vehicle used for, nice classic but I prefer the Chevelle 2 door salon myself, stay safe & have an amazing Christmas guys and this extends to all you guys living in the Sates.🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
