1973 Chevrolet El Camino SS CLONE Description

Just out of the paint shop. The color is 'Blue My Mind' and 'Laguna Blue' in paint charts. This is a 2015 Corvette color and is metallic. This was a $5,000+ base coat, clear coat paint job. The paint is stunning in the sunlight!
All new rubber door and window moldings, plus window felts.
People ask, why are you selling? I am 64 and I retired due to medical issues. I am selling my assets for retirement.
Extremely straight original Idaho car. Only rust was in rear quarter panels and I bought brand new Goodmark RH and LH quarter panels from Summit Racing and had them welded professionally. No rust anywhere on the car.
Grille and front bumper are off a 1975 model. In my opinion, they are much sharper looking. It has a NOS SS grille emblem, but it is not an SS.
All the emblems and moldings were shaved for a smooth finish and look. Front and rear bumpers in excellent condition. All chrome and stainless in very good condition.
Engine is a newer 87-95 center bolt valve style. It is a 350 cubic inch or 5.7 L. It was rebuilt about 2,000 miles ago. It has an MSD HEI distributor, Edelbrock intake and 1406 carb (elec choke), headers, dual exhaust and it has a very healthy cam. New Roush Racing cast aluminum finned valve cover (RETRO) Estimating it to have 350-400HP. Very throttle responsive.Has K&N air cleaner.
Transmission was rebuilt at the same time and has a Stage 1 shift kit. It it the Turbo 350 3 speed. Shifts are firm, but not obnoxious. It has a 10 bolt posi rear end. Not sure of the ratio, but it cruises nicely at 65-75. Has PS and PB, but is not an A/C car.
Bed has high quality black spray in bed liner.
Starts, runs, drives and handles exceptionally well. Power disc brakes in front and drums in rear. This is a great driver that gets attention, but it is nice enough to go to car shows and win trophies!
Dash and carpet are new and are black. Original style loop pile molded carpet was installed over sound barrier/insulator material. Seat, headliner and door panels are medium blue. Has new Pioneer AM-FM-CD Aux stereo with 4 Pioneer speakers. Interior is in excellent condition.
Replaced the stock idiot light dash with an SS dash from another 73 El Camino. The SS instrument cluster has all the gauges including tachometer. Also replaced the original steering wheel with an SS style (Grant) steering wheel.
It has Western Mag wheels with new Dayton SR radials. 215/70R/14.
New front windshield with built in antennae and blue tint at top.
Original odometer shows 9,435 miles, but it has turned over.
NADA shows the AVERAGE RETAIL for a 73 El Camino at $13,475 and high retail at 22,575. This car is in exceptional condition!I've got mine priced at AVERAGE RETAIL (This car is not in average condition!!!) and this car is closer in condition to a high retail car. See it and drive it and you'll know what I mean.
My reserve is $13,450. This El Camino is in far above average condition (see NADA descriptions below) and should be priced closer to high retail. Prefer payment by direct deposit.
Okay to do satisfactory inspection of vehicle in person, prior to final payment. Will accept a refundable deposit to hold pending satisfactory inspection.

If you want to fly into the Boise, Idaho airport, I can pick you up at the airport and you can drive this car home.

I would not be afraid to drive this car cross country anywhere. No rattles, rides smooth like aCadillacand no mechanical issues.
These classic muscle car "UTE'S" are very popular in Australia. Willing to participate in worldwide shipping. Have usedSchumacher Cargo Logisticsin LA for a previous vehicle.800-599-0190.
Old classic Chevy muscle cars continue to go up in value and make superior investments to interest in a bank account.
If you have any questions, please call me 208-345-1400 Kurt. I will give you honest answers without any BS. I am serious about selling and am seeking a serious buyer!
