Built to Drive - Roadster Shop equipped 'Survivor Series' 1971 El Camino

With a full Roadster Shop FAST TRACK chassis, built Texas Speed LS3, and a Bowler Transmissions T56, Forgeline wheels and Baer Brakes, this El Camino is not your typical car truck. This thing is meant to be used and abused and look good all the while.
Come along for one last ride with Roadster Shop Assembly Manager Jake before we ship the car to it's owner in New Jersey.

Love what you guys do. I understand that a successful business plan involves marketing to those with deep pockets. But the rest of us can still dream.

What a Beauty El camino!

[@jamesspeights331]

Mann.. those seats look bespoke! ima deff bookmark this video for the future

[@PimpCoop]

I own an 86 El camino. Just like the El Camino that you're driving in the video I upgraded the drivetrain for a better overall vehicle. Now I understand there is a lot of people that think El caminos are strange, peculiar, weird, odd. What I tell people is until you actually drive one you don't understand an El Camino. There is just something about driving one that it's so unique in its own right that the look of it sometimes overshadows what you get by driving it. Ever since I got my 86 El Camino when I was in high school and 2007. I've enjoyed the hell out of it and wouldn't trade it for any other classic car

Wow! This is a quality video. I love cars, trucks, and auto customizations. Knowing I have hundreds of CZcams video hours, I have to say thank you for a easy to follow and stay attentive to this project. I would love to customize something like this some day.

[@davidvillacis5459]

Genial auto troka

[@fogtown3027]

I’d be on the fence about the tubs. 295’s should be good enough 👍

[@RoadsterShop]

Tubs would affect how many sheets of drywall you could fit in the back!

[@SuperBoss351]

Looks clean with 295s sometimes 345s just too much. Car is stunning. Very stout. Im thinking comin in this week doin same setup.as this in 80 ta.. ill call mon. DAN

[@og-greenmachine8623]

The El Camino front to rear is the most balanced
muscle car,

[@user-zx7lb6mr2i]

What are the wheels?

[@hotwheel6663]

That thing sounds good what size engine is it?

[@RoadsterShop]

Texasspeed LS3 - I forget what displacement off hand. One of the better sounding vehicles we've sent out the door in my opinion.

[@el_txserpico4501]

What are the wheel size/tire combo ?

[@RoadsterShop]

Wheels are Forgeline JO3C's - 18x9.5 Front, 19x9.5 Rear with 265/35 fronts and 275/40 rear tires. - video comment was mis-remembered :)

[@David-Drums]

RoadsterShop WOW. 9.5 on the fronts in “small”. ? That’s my rear size. Haha
