A GM ball and screw steering system is called a recirculating ball steering box. I just wanted to correct that minor error. Also there was a 3 year gap from 61-63 when Chev stopped making the El Caminos. We had an El Camino like that one and it could tow a huge trailer with the old 350. They are really handy vehicles.

I drove an El Camino for work in Southern California in 1975-1977. Hinshaw’s Department store Arcadia, Ca. Other vehicles run on propane. It was a little unsettling in the El Camino having the tank behind your head but boy does propane make a vehicle run great. Don’t know why it never became a thing. They had a maintenance man who knew how to do the conversion to propane. He has passed but I am still friends with his wife even though we are now 3000 miles apart. I loved driving that thing.

It's not his passion, It's more that economy is in the shitter thanks to the Democrats, I've seen more Classic Cars back on the road in the last 3 years than I did in the 30 years before that, and it's not just the "Cool" classics, most of them have been the mid-late 70's Smog and Malaise Era cars, cars like this 4th gen El Camino, that 10 years they wouldn't have touched with a 10 foot pole, People by large no longer have 40-60 grand to go out and buy a new car but they do have 3-5k to go out and buy a "Undesireable" classic car/truck and spend another 4 or 5k and put it back on the road and daily drive it, a recent article by the American Insurance Association said that 25% (82.2 million) of the U.S. population have a Vintage Car (25-50 years old) registered and insured as a daily driver, In 2015 it was less than 4%. (roughly 11 million), it's went up over 600% in the last 8 years. I haven't seen as many mid-late 70's cars on the road or at Cruise-ins/Cars and Coffee's since I was a kid/teen in the early-mid 80's.

Had a 1973 Dodge dart and a 1973 Pontiac LeMans. 1973 Plymouth satalite, 1976 Cadillac El Dorado, 1975 Buick Electra limited, 1974 Chrysler Newport, 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1978 Plymouth Volare, 1977 Caprice classic , 1969 Coronet 440, 1979 Lincoln continental.

Scotty kilmer is correct about the frame and body rust. One thing that Scotty didn't mention is that 4th gen El Camino's or 73 to 77 El Caminos are the years that are the hardest to find parts for. Cars in that era are not very desirable so a lot of aftermarket manufacturers don't make parts for them. So you either have to get them off of a forum, junkyard, swap meet or buy a donor car.

Lots of people would enjoy having one of these. It is like driving a piece of history. Good program. My boss had one of these in the 70's.

2:53 Clunk. Chevy tested, well made.

Letsss gooo

I bought a 1973 too! I have a Weiland intake and a Street Warrior Holley carb & sidepipes. Anything under 4000 lbs isn't bad. New Lambos weigh more than that.

I’m glad you pointed out the interior floors. The sheet metal inside was paper thin at that time to cut down on vehicle weight. So it just about always rusts through and it’s under the carpet, so you don’t see it.. if you catch it early enough, it can be saved.

Engine bay of these old cars always amused me. Reminds me of some amateurs that build computers with no concept of cable management. Wires just dangling everywhere, not tied/clipped to anything.

A friend I know bought one like it. It is a 1973 SS model and is restoring it.

Power to weight ratio the 73 SS El Camino was the most powerful car GM has ever built. the 454 produced 370 Hp and the car only weighed 2916 lbs, that 7.88 lbs per HP.

Scotty my first car in 1975 was a 1973 Chevy Chevelle Deluxe with a 350 V8 2 barrel for $1,400 and it was smooth and fast (bought it in Houston before I graduated from Baylor University). It had been a Baroid Oil Drilling service car and it was one of the best running vehicles I ever had and had ice cold air conditioning. It was light yellow with a green interior so it had the Baylor school colors.

Muscle Cars, Rock and Roll, and Bell Bottom Jeans. The Best thing to come out of the 60s and 70s.

Whenever Scotty Kilmers drops the new videos I roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up.
