Built this car for my wife about a year ago but since then we have had a kid. Love the car, wish i could keep it but we tried it this weekend and its a little too cramped with a car seat and 2 adults.

1972 el camino, 350/turbo 350 car. I have the original RPO build sheet. Car was a 350 custom built in november of 71. The motor and trans have 4k on the rebuild and the body is 75k and change. Franks hot rods did the body and paint, painted in audi charcoal (I have a gallon left over). No rust in the car, did have the rear window repaired and rockers behind the rear wheels were repaired when car was painted. Interior is stock dash and door panels and gabe lopez did the seat. Its got a pioneer sound system with matching amp and sub. Car sits on BMR coils front and rear with SSBC spindles. Staggered intro billet wheels with 18" up front and 20" in the rear. Front inner fenders have a mini tub to allow full travel. Tires are z rated nitto 555. Flowmaster exhaust on stock manifolds. Car has had VR1 valvoline and wix filters since rebuild. Only downside is that the car is a non AC car. Im sure there is more I am missing, just text or PM for questions.
$21,800 or best

Thanks, I love the car its just a little small with the kid's car seat. Sucks because I did this car to be a keeper and wasnt afraid to spend the $$, but as most builds go I have more into it then I will get out of it.

Yes, I am busy making it my way. Took off the 18's & 20's and put period correct American Torque Thrust 15x8's on it. It is going to Bonesfab on Friday to get the Vintage air installed. Next I will probably change the rear end gears from the 2.73 freeway gears that it has to 3.73's and replace the turbo 350 trans with a 700R4. I will post a picture later.
