Finished in original Covert Tan, the bench seat and door panels were recovered in correct reproduction materials that look great today, and they provide all-day comfort thanks to solid yet supple insulation underneath the hides. It\'s very common to see a bench seat in an El Camino, and the interior of this restomod really does a great job continuing the tradition, although with a lot more style. Although if you do want to use it like a truck, it\'s got the ingredients needed to haul away half of Home Depot with you. ![]() No, this hauler was finished to the same level as the rest of the body, so you\'ll definitely think twice before you load up dirty stuff from the junkyard. The inside of the bed is also neatly finished, but don\'t expect some cheap spray-in bedliner. Chrome bumpers fore and aft add the perfect amount of endcap bling, and that horizontal bar grille is an instantly recognizable a staple of the Elky and Chevelles from the early \'70s. Sure the paint\'s not perfect, but only the most obnoxious of nudges is going to find much to complain about it, and the curb appeal is undeniable. The bodywork underneath was clearly in good shape, because the flanks are smooth and shiny and everything fits together better than you\'d expect for 1972, with a few custom touches like a cowl hood, HID headlamps, and that black tonneau cover on the bed that all put this Chevy over the top. The two-tone Gulf Green Metallic over Silver paint really updates the shape and makes it look a bit more modern, and with the addition of those Rally stripes on the hood, this truck will attract attention no matter where you drive it. Repainted during a fairly comprehensive restoration that was completed not long ago, it manages to maintain its 1970s utilitarian look, but with the addition of a modern and sleek vibe that really works well. The early 1970s were the final years of \'The Golden Era of American Motoring\', and that instantly recognizable muscle car style still makes a fantastic foundation for something awesome today, as this 1972 El Camino proves. ![]() A real head-turner with a killer two-tone custom paint job, this dialed-in Elky features impressive 383 Stroker V8 power, choice options, and a comfortable interior that all work together to form one of the coolest car-trucks we\'ve ever had the pleasure of showcasing in our inventory. We sell a lot of El Caminos here at Streetside Classics, but not many come through our doors that are as beautifully finished and highly functional as this 1972 Chevrolet El Camino.
