Description
Lot #1318 - This 1966 El Camino was built by West Coast Customs for NASCAR legend Rusty Wallace. The car's build was featured on their hit television show in an episode titled "El Rusty." The car also features numerous upgrades by another renowned builder, Detroit Speed. This modern take on the classic El Camino sits on a custom Roadster Shop chassis. At its heart is a 505hp, 383ci V8 built by Pro Motor Engines and featuring the latest Edelbrock EFI. Putting all of this power to the ground is done with a 700R4 automatic transmission mated to a custom carbon-fiber driveshaft, 9" Ford rear end with a 3.34 gear ratio, and an aggressive set of Michelin tires. This car is as beautiful and comfortable to drive as it is fast. It features a custom blue metallic paint (reminiscent of many of Wallace's famous racing cars), a gorgeous set of custom front fender wells and a laser-straight body. Wallace personally took great pride in ensuring proper body panel alignment. On the inside, the car includes a custom tan leather interior, digital gauges, modern air conditioning by Vintage Air, and - as to be expected from West Coast Customs - an incredible sound system. Said Wallace, "In my opinion and the opinion of many others in the industry, this could be the nicest El Camino in the country, if not the world!"
