    The rarest El Camino's ever produced!! That side bed trim down the 1/4 panel is irreplaceable. They only made maybe 1,000 with this option. Most were three 2 toned, some were three toned and I've rarely seen a vinyl top trim down the side! They found a priceless gem and probably don't even know it!!

      You guys are right. This is a very strange / rare elco. If that is a factory top, I've never seen that before. It's ugly as sin. The 3rd gen elco always looks better with a vinyl top. But this one is just weird.

    So happy to see new dude rebuilt the original carburetor instead of throwing an aftermarket on. Nowadays keeping all the #'s matching parts is key to a factory restoration. I know it's not an SS, but it's a factory BIG BLOCK and rare with the Deluxe trim package.

    • @Coyote9smilespergallon
      @Coyote9smilespergallon 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It’s NOT A BIG BLOCK! The 400 is a small block! 396 402 are big blocks 400 is Not

    • @mikebrown8065
      @mikebrown8065 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @Coyote9smilespergallon , YES, it IS a BIG BLOCK. 1972 Elcamino "400". Just like the Chevelle Malibu "400" which started in 1970. Understand these cars ARE NOT SS's! Even though it's displacement is 402 cubic inches (LS-3), it was called the Elcamino or Chevelle "400" . The options box was checked off for Elcamino Custom, which is basically Malibu trim level in a Chevelle. And the badge on the fenders "400" designated the LS-3 option. The 400 cubic inches SMALL BLOCK was NOT available in the Chevelle or Elcamino in 1972. Initially, the small block 400 was offered in the 1970 Monte Carlo. AND, 1972 was the last year of the "400" badge on the fenders designation of the LS-3.
      Now, 1973 is where it all changed. The "400" 402 was no more, and if it said "400" it was a small block 400.
      Engines for clarification:
      1970 LF-6 400 small block 265hp 2bbl carb. (Monte Carlo ONLY)
      1970 LS-3 "400" (402 big block) 330hp 4bbl carb. (NON- SS ONLY)
      1970 L34 "396" (402 big block) 350hp 4bbl carb. (SS ONLY)
      1971 LS-3 "400" (402 big block) 300hp 4bbl carb. (SS AND NON-SS)
      1972 LS-3 "400" (402 big block) 230hp 4bbl carb (SS AND NON-SS)
      Hope this helps clear up any confusion.

      @@mikebrown8065 nope nope and nope! 400 were SMALL BLOCKS AND 402 in Chevys were NOT called 400s! 402 had the number plate on the car and some trucks the literally said 402 on the side and under the hood

    • @mikebrown8065
      @mikebrown8065 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @Coyote9smilespergallon , I understand what you mean. But, they did make Chevelle Malibu and Elcamino's with the "400" emblems on the fenders, and from what I kinda remember it wasn't for engine displacement. More of a trim level. But, they did have the 402 big block in them. The 400 series, also allowed the option to check off the rally dash , buckets, console, etc if one desired.

    I love the El Caminos, my favorite is the 1967. The first car I restored was a 67 after my buddy wrecked my 70 Chevelle. I never let a friend drive any of my hotrods since! I took the running gear, & bucket seats, console, exe, and put it in the El Camino. The 70 Chevelle didn't have a body part that wasn't bent. He rolled it sideways and end over end about 5 times each. Then took the El Camino and had it painted dark green with lots of metal flake, the Color of Money. Later I put a CB in, my handle was the Green Hornet. I had gotten a job guarding a grow and watching the road on a mountain so I had to have the CB. (1981) I did put a SS hood on the car. It just makes the car look good.

This is used to be so hard to explin to certain people, to the degree of just not explaining it at all .

    The small block 400 were great motors

    • @Michael666CA
      @Michael666CA 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      That's not a small block.
      402 Big block, The small-block 400 didn't appear in any El Caminos until 1974.
      The 1970-1972 non-SS El Camino could be ordered with the LS3 402 big-block. The LS3 could be ordered on the Standard model and the Custom model. I've never seen a Standard model 400. But the Custom model 400 had a rectangular "400" emblem below the "El Camino" emblem on the fenders. This emblem was similar in style to the "350" emblem found on many non-SS 1970-1972 El Caminos.
      Strangely, if a 1971-1972 SS had an LS3, there would be no external engine identification.
      The 1971-72 GMC Sprint also had a "400" version. All of those had the same LS3 402, but instead had a "400" emblem on the front grille instead of the fenders. The GMC Sprint "400" emblem is very rare and is unique to the Sprint.

    In 72 they changed the way hp was listed. 72 402 with dual exhaust was 240 net hp. In 71 it was gross hp of 300hp. I had the 72 402 el Camino in highschool, graduated 86. I burned many tires down to steel belts and left long long tire marks around the neighborhoods with Massive smoke shows. Car had some get up and go and could get up to good speeds on freeway no problem. 125mph was where I stopped.

    OK hear me out, a wild build possibility. if you have a testarossa left use as much of the rear end and power train to make a sick and insanely fast/dangerous trike with that Ferrari styling, and call it the Testacycle. that would probably be that final straw though that will get you on the Ferrari black list 😂
