Full Description

1972 CHEVROLET EL CAMINO CUSTOM 350 V8 • Automatic • Rally Wheels • Runs & Drives Mileage: 56,595 (showing) WE CANNOT ATTEST TO THE MILEAGE. MIGHT BE RIGHT. MIGHT BE LEFT. VIN: 1D80H2K601186 Let's get this out of the way first: SHE'S A 50-FOOTER. Like that prom date, your first wife, or that boat you absolutely had to have .... she looks mostly good from the right distance. Get closer and you'll find imperfections. The paint is NOT show quality. There are chips, scratches, blemishes, wear, age and plenty of evidence that this El Camino has actually lived a life. We aren't representing it as restored, flawless or ready for Pebble Beach. But stand back, squint just a little, and she's a damn good-looking old El Camino. This 1972 Chevrolet El Camino Custom has the right look: bright orange/red exterior, black hood stripes, SS-style grille/badging, Rally wheels, black bed and plenty of old-school Chevrolet attitude. VIN DECODE The VIN confirms this is a 1972 Chevrolet Custom El Camino, originally equipped with the L65 350 cubic-inch V8, assembled in Kansas City, Missouri. The VIN does NOT establish this vehicle as a factory SS, and seller is not representing it as a documented factory SS or numbers-matching vehicle. MECHANICAL The El Camino currently has a 350 V8 with an automatic transmission. It fires right up and runs good. The vehicle has been sitting and the original fuel tank needs to be cleaned/serviced. It is presently being operated from a separate fuel cell. The brakes work but are touchy and should be inspected/serviced before regular road use. KNOWN ITEMS / DISCLOSURES • Factory A/C-equipped car; A/C compressor is missing. A/C is not represented as operational. • Passenger-side interior door-opening handle/latch has fallen down inside the door and needs repair. • Original fuel tank needs cleaning/service from sitting. • Currently operating from a separate fuel cell. • Brakes are touchy and need inspection/service. • Paint/body have visible imperfections consistent with our highly scientific "50-footer" rating. • This is a 54-year-old vehicle. Expect wear, imperfections, prior repairs and things that need attention. Look at ALL photos and video. They are part of the description.

She's a 50-footer..... fortunately, bidding can be done from much farther away.
