This 1971 Chevrolet El Camino SS is finished in orange over black vinyl and is powered by a 402ci V8 linked with a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Equipment includes power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, 15” wheels, and a Pioneer CD stereo. The seller purchased the truck in 2018 and subsequent work included the addition of PerTronix ignition and the replacement of the distributor, battery, and fan clutch. This El Camino is now offered with a clean title in the seller's name. The pickup was finished from the factory in Burnt Orange and was refinished under previous ownership. Exterior details include locking hood pins, a drop-down tailgate, and chrome bumpers and trim. There are paint chips around the car and the seller states that windshield wipers operate slowly. Snaps are present for a cover, but no tonneau cover is included in the sale. The 15” American Racing SS wheels are mounted with 245/50 Dunlop tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and stopping is provided by power-assisted front disc brakes. A power steering leak is noted. The bench seat was recovered in black vinyl in 2024 and is accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Amenities include a Pioneer CD stereo, lap belts, and headrests. The air conditioning, heater, and side speakers do not work, and wear and fading are present on interior surfaces. Instrumentation consists of a 120-mph speedometer, a fuel-level gauge, and a column-mounted Autogage tachometer as well as oil pressure and coolant temperature gauges mounted underneath the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 16k miles, approximately 1,500 of which were added under prior ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The 402ci V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor. A PerTronix electronic ignition and a replacement distributor were installed in 2018, and the fan clutch was replaced in 2020. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.
