Right now on AutoHunter, you can find this 1972 Chevrolet El Camino EV conversion built by Vintage Iron & Restoration of Scottsdale, Arizona. It’s powered by a pair of NetGain HyPer9 electric motors mated to a single-speed automatic transmission. Highlights include air conditioning, power steering, QA1 coilovers, and power disc brakes. Finished in black over a black vinyl interior, this all-electric restomod is now offered by the selling dealer in Oregon with a clear title.
The body may look purely black but, if you catch it from certain angles, you’ll see gold flakes in the finish. Exterior features include chrome bumpers, custom “EV Camino” fender badges, chrome mirror housings, and folding soft tonneau cover.
This distinctive build rides at the perfect height on its black 18-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with polished lips and 225/45 Goodyear Eagle radials.
The cabin continues the blacked-out theme with aftermarket black vinyl bucket seats, which are divided by a center console with an armrest, two cup holders, wireless charging pad, and drive mode selector dial. Other features include electric power steering, Budnik three-spoke steering wheel, air conditioning, and RetroSound AM/FM radio with Bluetooth connectivity.
Instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer, 8,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the voltage, fuel level, temperature, and oil pressure — all from Dakota Digital. The digital odometer shows 993 miles, but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
According to the EV Builder’s Guide, a pair of NetGain HyPer9 electric motors with 253 horsepower 649 lb-ft of torque power this pickup/passenger car. The 66.6-kWh battery pack is divided between the engine bay and the cargo bed. A single-speed automatic and an aluminum driveshaft sends that zip (and zap) to a 1992 Ford Thunderbird rear end. Also on this build’s long list of updates is a Ford Mustang II front end, QA1 coilovers, and Wilwood power four-wheel disc brakes.
Just as the El Camino is a hybrid of car comfort and truck utility, this customized 1972 model is a hybrid of retro styling and modern EV power. If you’re all charged up and ready to make it yours, bid on it before the auction ends on Friday, March 13, 2026, at 12:15 p.m. (PDT).
