For sale is a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino Custom. It's quite possibly an original SS but from what I've researched it's very hard to determine the 72's definitively as true SS. If you can, then you'll probably be able to resell it at a higher price. It runs and drives/breaks great, and I’ve gone through periods where I used it as a primary means of transportation. It sure is an attention getter—I can’t even go to the grocery store or gym without several people standing around it as I go to leave, asking questions, etc. I’ll miss it deeply for that reason alone. I haven't had any problems with the car, but I'm not an expert so it is sold as. All sales are final so please ask all the questions/request all the pictures that you want. I describe it as a 20-footer because that's the best way I know how to put it. -The belt sometimes squeals on start up, but it starts right up, runs and drives great. -The suspension makes a creaky noise as if the tire may be rubbing against something. -It’s got a few scratches, cracks, dings etc. It has some bondo in a few places. -Rust: doesn't seem bad at all. Other than one really small spot on the bed, I haven't noticed any places that have rusted through. From what I've read some amount of rust in old vehicles from the South East (i.e. this isn't an Arizona or California car) is par for the course. I've attached pictures of the floor, wheel wells, undercarriage, truck bed and door hinges, etc. so you can judge for yourself. The floor seems really solid. I've attached pictures of under the floor pans because I didn't want to pull carpet to check. -The paint job is okay, but as you get closer you'll notice little chips and scratches here and there. The driver side door has a pretty big scratch next to the mirror. -The dash is in great shape (either brand new, or a really good referb) but seems to be missing some fasteners where the gauge cluster attaches. -The dashboard has a cap on it that looks OEM. All the gauges work except for the oil lamp. No A/C or radio installed. While the headlights/taillights and blinkers work perfectly, the indicators in the dash (blinker indicators, bulbs that illuminate the gauges at night, etc.) work but not consistently. The previous owner had pulled the A/C control panel out for some reason—I suppose to replace it (as you can see it sits on the column in the pictures above). -Headliner’s in great shape. One of the seats is in great shape while the other isn’t—thus I put the seat covers on both. It has the SS style dash (round gauges) and floor shifter (Hurst V-Matic 2) which I love. Windshield wipers work. Passenger door has a is missing an arm rest. Wheels are in good shape. It's had lots of work done which I’ve attached pictures of the receipts to account for. Having said all that, it's a beautiful car. Everyone loves it. Those that notice the imperfections tend to have worked with older cars and/or have had a lot of experience in auto body work--i.e. not the average person.
