72elk
Picked up a 1972 El Camino about a month ago. Out of high school I bought a 2 year old 66 Chevelle, 396/375hp. Loved that car. Now that I'm retired I decided to get another Bow-Tie to play with. Social security won't cover the cost for another 66 Chevelle so I picked up this El Camino for a reasonable price. 69' 350 with 9:1 compression, GM crate engine heads and a Holly 600 cfm carb. Just redid the interior except dash and plan on working the engine this winter. Upgrade carb to 700 or 750, Edelbrook performer ESP intake and headers. Hope to eventually get to 300 hp. Located in Northern Idaho.
Visited a family member at Dockery Ford from the time I was 1 year old through their ownership and then ownership change to Morristown Ford. Dockery was a major player in the Hi Performance...
