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.
yup I bought an old idi diesel the dude gave up on got it home and found the smash fuel line right after 1 hr looking at it fixed it and it ran like a top too 400,000 miles when i sold her after the rust finally ate her alive ,it got the cab bad i had replace the box two times from rust
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 , 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
@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 do have to say the fact that you didn’t beat this guy up over the price gives you 1,000x respect points. The majority of these people are selling their pride and joys because they desperately need money NOW more than EVER these days. I’m sure their ENTIRE FAMILY is INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL for YOU and will be because you just changed their lives❤
LOL,,,,paying too much for any car is a quick way to bankruptcy. Professionals are not running a charity and not only have to support their crew but also pay haulers, parts suppliers, sub contractors, office personnel, support staff and many more people.
I was born in 72 and these Chevelles were all around. My parents had 1969 Impala with a 327 that was quick. My mother was car crazy, she had the best now I do. Glad I saw this, lost my parents a while back close together and it’s that time of the year and this el Camino reminds me of them, my mother wouldn’t go for that.
Great episode! Chris seems like he will fit right in . Mike is hilarious . Love seeing Riviera in back ground. Congratulations on new car/hand cleaning line !
I had a 72 El Camino and since I was in the glass biz I took a pattern of the back window and ordered a tempered and beveled grey-lite 14 and installed it. Grey glass not applied tint. Miss that ride.
Don't take my word for it but if this is the same person then "The New Guy" had some misfortunes going his way that is why he is so down to Earth even too much down. I pray that he can start over and learn from all this and have a great life going forward. He already have great mechanic skills that is a great start at GMG.
Lots of charisma the new guy.May be wise to keep him behind the scene. On the flip side, the ElCamino this would have been a great car to do up. Pity its just a quick flip!
🎉 That's a Beautiful Truck and you should Trick it out!!! 400 Big Blocks are special order and only one thousand were made with the vinyl top down the side
Glad to see that you’re still on UTube channel. Mr. Rawlings. Glad you got away from the high pressure of that Sponsor that was giving you so much trouble in the past. Hope to see more of your shows on UTube channel. Love to be apart of your team but I think ima just to old to keep up anymore but I’ve had over 43 years of working on cars from rebuilding engines to paint work and Fabrication

Good morning/ afternoon Richard and crew and I hope all is well and you have a wonderful weekend also thank you for sharing your journey on your way throw this crazy world we are living in now adays
Tbh I like el caminos and I love this video. I can feel there passion for the vehicle. Asking about its story is rare now adays. He wanted the history behind a blast from the past and the amount of attention to detail while inspecting it. Man yall just gained a fan and a subscriber
I’m so pleased with gas monkey …. I love having mike back . Thank Richard for no more discovery… real life is so much better then scripted ….. it’s amazing to see how big and far you have brought this business.
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.
I use simple green and water in my ultrasonic cleaner. It makes motorcycle carbs look almost new..ive watched gas monkey garage for a long time. Keep up the good work guys
I had an El Camino just like that . 71 , 350 automatic . Had an electric issue . A short . I couldn't find the problem . Made me so mad I beat the shit out of it with a hammer . I was a lot younger then and didn't know what I know now. Wish I had all my old cars back . Would have a yard full . Thanks guys .
Thank god ! I thought that was only happening to me. How could you possibly drive an elcamino without a mullet ? I bought my 68 elco in 1985. I was 16 and had the best mullet ever. The stash wasn't ready to grow for a few more years.
The old 402ci AKA 396ci with factory bore, and Badged as a 400ci even though Chevy has a 400 small block! This is used to be so hard to explin to certain people, to the degree of just not explaining it at all . We just went with 400 small block or 400 big block ,and discussing the 402ci just drifted away from the entire situation. Great video looks like Chris knows what is going on.
New guy is legit, used to live next door to his father’s farm in south Texas. Chris would get out there in a sxs Yamaha and tear it up. He knows how to go full throttle!!
I had a 71, that i resto modded.. built 383,m22. I used F body knuckles, and front sway bar from a SD trans am, and rear SS Chevelle sway bar and 12bolt LSD... I boxed the rear control arms too...that car/truck would hang with a Porsche 911 on the Angeles crest hwy twisties... Wish i still had it...
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.
@@Michael666CA I’ve noticed a trend with all these yt channels that the “merch” is a must and obviously a side hustle for extra income.not that Richard or Dennis need it.
Just a speculation on my part but I think he cracked under pressure. Just based on what I’ve seen Richard is hard to work for, tremendous work ethic and sometimes unrealistic expectations.
The tube sticking up on top of the carb is a direct passage to the float chamber , pour the gas in that tube and fill the bowl , then see if the engine runs .
Richard I didn't know you guys were doing TH-cam videos I'm so pissed I didn't see this I've been missing your show since you stopped and now I got a whole lot to watch can't wait
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.
Haven’t dealt with a quadrajunk as my dad called them in years. He did teach me a trick that fixed the delay on the secondary coming in you put a Z bend in the linkage to the secondary and poof no more delay just passing on some knowledge.
Good episode, Chris is the real deal. Anyone else ever get weirded out that Richard rarely makes eye contact when he's talking to the person? That shit would drive me crazy
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 😂 Love what you guys do and love this channel a hell of a lot more than when you guys were on the TV. It's way more real and genuine. Much love and respect from New York brother keep up the great work! Time to crack a beer open!
Nice job by all not bad for a 50 year old car, Richard put stock rims with chrome beauty rims and caps make it look period correct, shot look in your parts bin you probably have some👍👍👍
I did an interview and test for your show years ago and passed lol with no prob. When I was told I would be moving too Texas I backed out. I went trucking and was in Texas for weeks at a time😅. Guess I should have joined the crew hee hee hee. Plus you have a bar and that I know I could use.
What's going on with the Rivera? Is it finally going to be completed been waiting on that car to be finished if I remember correctly it has a hell of a motor in it!!

@@sprintcarsandguitars959 its a 400 small block no such thing as a chevy 400 big block... 396 and 402 is the closest you get
Great to see that format back (1/ find the car, 2/ the vision, 3/ follow the work 4/ see the result). No fake drama, all about the car.
The el Camino. The OG of business in the front and party in the back, especially one with a mullet black vinyl top
That car would never have run right if the new guy hadn't sorted out those kinked fuel lines! Well done, great job all around.
Nice truck
yup I bought an old idi diesel the dude gave up on got it home and found the smash fuel line right after 1 hr looking at it fixed it and it ran like a top too 400,000 miles when i sold her after the rust finally ate her alive ,it got the cab bad i had replace the box two times from rust
From buying the car to running it again, that's a lot of content for 1 single video! Thanks, this is awesome
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a el Camino with the vinyl on the top of the bed like that
Me either
It was a custom ordered car, so you could order anything option. That was one of them.
It needs the vinyl bed cover.. it could look ok.
I have seen quite a few... Not as common as the vinyl top only though
From what I’ve been told by the elders. If you had money In 70-90 you could custom order whatever tf you wanted in whatever car you wanted.
I’ve been watching you guys since FastnLoud. I love the longer video format without all the cable format BS. Thanks Richard and crew!

Use a line wrench on that fuel line. Those fittings are pretty soft.
Not using a line wrench is how many of those lines got kinked.

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.

Wow you are young
Out of all the Cars these guys have done, this will most likely be on my Wish List for Life, 😊
Way way better show ..
Thank you for being so awesome.
I'm a huge fan
These videos are awsome. So much better than the tv version!
The tube sticking up on top of the carb is a direct passage to the float chamber , pour the gas in that tube and fill the bowl , then see if the engine runs .
Yup! never understood why guys dont do that...just insist on cranking the hell out of the starter
Oh my, what a terrific show this is! Good luck!
Thank you for keeping it a survivor and not butchering it!!
Passin the torch, and trading tribal knowledge. This is what life is about, plus having friggin fun drinkin beeah doin it. Cheers 🍻
Definitely need more episodes like this on here 💪💪
New guy did a great job. What do you guy's use in your ultrasonic cleaner?
Think he said dawn
Richard I didn't know you guys were doing TH-cam videos I'm so pissed I didn't see this I've been missing your show since you stopped and now I got a whole lot to watch can't wait
I like the new guy's attitude and skill. Good stuff.
Seen it in y'all's parking lot today while stopping in with the big rig to grab a hat and shirt! Love those elkos and Rancheros!
Mike is the best part of this “show”!
Really happy GMG is on TH-cam 👍👍👍
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.
Haven’t dealt with a quadrajunk as my dad called them in years. He did teach me a trick that fixed the delay on the secondary coming in you put a Z bend in the linkage to the secondary and poof no more delay just passing on some knowledge.
First thing always turn it over by hand 360 degrees love you guys keep the rubber side down.
The best show in town. Awesome
Excellent video, cool car, keep them coming👍
Got a 1986 EL CO… need a plan or a buyer. Straight lines, decent paint, runs and drives
Good episode, Chris is the real deal. Anyone else ever get weirded out that Richard rarely makes eye contact when he's talking to the person? That shit would drive me crazy
Never trust a man who cant look you in the eye. Fact going back 100s of yrs
Same with a weak handshake
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 😂
Love what you guys do and love this channel a hell of a lot more than when you guys were on the TV. It's way more real and genuine. Much love and respect from New York brother keep up the great work! Time to crack a beer open!
Nice job by all not bad for a 50 year old car, Richard put stock rims with chrome beauty rims and caps make it look period correct, shot look in your parts bin you probably have some👍👍👍
I did an interview and test for your show years ago and passed lol with no prob. When I was told I would be moving too Texas I backed out. I went trucking and was in Texas for weeks at a time😅. Guess I should have joined the crew hee hee hee. Plus you have a bar and that I know I could use.
I want to have a El Camino! Love the look of them.
It’s for sale 😉
What's going on with the Rivera? Is it finally going to be completed been waiting on that car to be finished if I remember correctly it has a hell of a motor in it!!
Cool episode, new dude did an excellent job! I learned some new stuff as well. Good job guys!
