1972 Chevy El Camino

Wallpaper Description:

Steve Turtle has been an El Camino fan since he was 6 years old. Uncle Eddie had a ’66 big-block four-speed that was the epitome of muscle to Steve. It’s easy to guess that Steve’s first car would be an El Camino. The first was a ’65, next came a ’67, and the latest two were ’72s. He has built a majority of these cars himself but this particular one was an abandoned project he found with a price he couldn’t pass up. Though it could be considered “done” to someone else, Steve had to employ his own plan for it. The big-block Chevy has a COMP cam, Edelbrock intake, and a Holley 850-cfm carburetor. The drivetrain and suspension had been upgraded as well with a 3.91-gear 12-bolt, TH400, and has been lowered 2 inches. Next on his list is to bolt on a supercharger to make real use of the Mickey Thompson tires stuffed into the tubbed rear.
