This 1971 Chevrolet El Camino SS is a rare and highly collectible muscle car, blending classic Chevrolet performance with the utility of a truck. Built in Kansas City and carrying the infamous "L" on the trim tag, this Super Sport features its matching-numbers LS5 454 CI V8 and the sought-after M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed manual transmission, a legendary combination that makes it a standout among muscle car enthusiasts.
The drivetrain is backed by 3.30 rear gears, delivering strong acceleration and highway usability. Front disc brakes and rear drums provide stopping power, while the tilt steering column, power steering and factory gauges add to the driver-focused experience. The original bucket seats and console remain in place, preserving the classic muscle car interior.
With only two owners, this El Camino SS has been well-kept, retaining original sheet metal and including its factory build sheet for provenance. A restoration was completed eight years ago, ensuring that the car maintains its period-correct details while remaining road-ready.
El Camino SS models from 1971 are highly sought after, and this example, equipped with the LS5 454 and M22 Rock Crusher, represents a blue-chip muscle car investment. Whether for show or spirited weekend drives, this El Camino SS embodies the golden era of Chevrolet performance.
