'70 El Camino
Chuck Wahlstrom
Lake Havasu City, AZ

As if the Arizona heat wasn't enough, Chuck Wahlstrom isn't afraid to crank his '70 El Camino build up a couple degrees. Under the hood is a 355ci small-block with an Edelbrock dual-plane manifold and a four-barrel carburetor, while a Turbo 350 transfers the power. Up front is a set of CPP drop spindles for the great stance. For rollers, a complete set of American Racing Torq-Thrust D wheels are used with a set of BFGoodrich P235/60 R15 sneakers. For the shine, Victory Red was applied while a Craftec tonneau cover seals the bed.
