Numerous car manufacturers have attempted to conquer the area of low-slung pickups over the years, but perhaps none are as iconic as the Chevrolet El Camino. Debuting in the late 1950s, it blended the features of a traditional coupe with an open bed behind the cockpit. Chevrolet continued producing it until 1987, concluding the fifth generation and leaving a noticeable gap in the brand’s lineup that remains unfilled to this day.
While Chevrolet’s El Camino rivaled Ford’s Ranchero, which enjoyed a seven-generation run from 1957 to 1979, Dodge also entered the fray with the Rampage, though in limited numbers from 1982 to 1984. Despite presenting the Rampage Concept in the mid-2000s, Dodge never brought it to fruition.
Today, numerous examples of El Camino, Ranchero, and Rampage can be found in the second-hand market, and their value is contingent upon factors like condition, restoration, and mileage. So, where does this 1972 Chevrolet El Camino stand? Judging by the price, it falls on the respectable side.
This particular 1972 Chevrolet El Camino, featuring a blue exterior and a black cabin, sits on silver wheels and includes factory air conditioning. With its original 350 ci (5.7L) V8 engine and automatic transmission, it boasts a mere 20,285 miles (32,645 km) on the odometer, suggesting a full restoration despite not being explicitly stated in the listing.
Priced at $22,900, it sits comfortably within the range of affordability for an El Camino enthusiast. Considering this, is it time to make this classic your next fun ride?
Why ate there never any dealer names with these vehicles?
