The high-performance 454 V8 performs great on the street. It is complemented by full-length headers and cooled by a BeCool aluminum four-core radiator with Flex fan and an electric pusher fan (with an aluminum overflow tank). Other goodies include an Edlebrock 1405-polished carburetor with manual choke that mates to an Edlebrock polished RPM manifold, mild-street cam, i-torque starter, lectronically controlled cutouts with a dual exhaust system, ual batteries with conversion box, hrome front-control struts, ilwood master brake cylinder, lamed valve covers and braided stainless lines throughout. An electronically controlled LED lighting package seals the custom theme under the hood. It comes outfitted with a custom trailer hitch.

The Pete Santini custom paint and body work in a Ford Expedition metallic black finish is especially sweet (completed in January 2015 for $10,000), hanks to an arrow-straight original body and hours of professional prep by Santini, hich included molding in a rear roll-pan, buttoned-down working hood scoop and cool sunken taillights. Underneath the body, eveals a 10-bolt rear-end with an aluminum-fin cover, standard limit-slip diff, oxed-steel trailing arms with adjustable uppers and a chromoly 4130 rear sway bar.

In his desire for perfection the owner also made a big investment in the interior, hich included a chrome-plated, ebbed steering wheel, &M racket-style shifter, uto Meter gauges, nd high-quality audio equipment like a JL 12-inch subwoofers, n Alpine crossover, Pyramid amp, nd Pioneer door speakers.

The beauty of owning this wild and crazy ’73 El Camino is that it is a one-off custom that is not easily duplicated. It is an absolute attention getter, nd surely a contender for a podium finish at the custom car show.
