1971 Chevy / Chevrolet El Camino - Hot Pro Street Rat Rod - Drag Car - 770hp on 2040-cars

A QUICK LOOK

-          1971 Chevy El Camino

-          Straight body / decent paint / good underside

-          Lots of restoration work done

-          770HP / 550TQ 383 stroker (built by Hovis Racing Engines)

-          Replacement cost of engine alone is $10,900

-          10.5 tire / stock suspension

-          Clear title / factory VIN tag still in stock location / Vin & title match

-          Stock glass in front and sides – windows roll up and down

-          Make a great hard core pro-streeter – maybe do an E-85 conversion?

-          Relatively easy street conversion (basic lighting / E-85 / exhaust / tires)

-          Selling for a fraction of investment to build

-          $20K+ in receipts

-          Have dyno sheets for the motor

-          Nice Tig-welded cage (professionally installed)

-          Was told that owner had $30K+ in the build

-          Don’t want the big horsepower motor…Sell it and you’ve got a NICE El Camino that you could put any Chevy motor in and just cruise it around.  Other than minor street conversion work, doesn’t need anything else.

-          Street Outlaws candidate???

-          A little bit different…..but still all Chevrolet

-          I like El Caminos (a lot)….If you don’t…..Look at it as a $30,000 Chevelle for a fraction of the money!!!

This car was a long term project that the builder spent a LOT of money on…..Basically he took the car and did any needed restoration work on it, and then painted it Viper Yellow ( I have the paint codes).  It does have some chips here and there (see pic’s), but the paint is sharp and the body is very good….as is the underside.  It does have a patch in the smugglers hatch, which is very common for these cars.  The car is powered by a 770HP 383 stroker that was built by Hovis racing engines.  The transmission is a Powerglide and the rearend is a 9-inch with 4:86 gears using a stock suspension setup.  The builder and the 2^nd owner (buddies / trade deal) never really got to race the car seriously, but it did get some shakedown runs. 

I bought the car from the creator of Dawson’s demon (The world’s fastest hotrod)

The shakedown runs on the car were made by none other than Wild Bill Weckman, who is the owner of the world’s fastest street Corvette

On the (3) shakedown runs this Elky ran a best ET of 10.92 @ 123.71MPH

There was a pile of money spent to make this Elky what it is today….My price however is a fraction of what it took to build this car.

My master plan was to convert it from Methanol to E-85 and street drive it for Sh*ts and giggles, but other commitments are getting in the way.

The car is all steel except for the hood.  It has a good body and decent paint, with way more horsepower than any street car needs....AND is priced to sell!!!!

It has all of the stock glass in it (except for the rear window is Lexan because of the cage bars)…The factory glass side windows do roll up and down.

The dash is fabricated, but they did a really good job and it fits the car well….You could go back to the stock dash if you want though.  The stock firewall is behind the aluminum one.

The factory VIN tag is still in its stock location and is easily visible…The clear title in my name matches the VIN tag…and the VIN tag matches the title……..I have the clear “title in hand”

Cage was professionally installed and is Tig welded (nice work – see pic’s)

Car has been stored for a while, so I’m sure it will need some minor tweaking / tuning and a good safety check over.
