GMC is traditionally known for pickup trucks and SUVs. However, this American automaker also dabbled in some oddities, such as the Sprint coupe utility. Produced between 1971 and 1977, and renamed Caballero for 1978 until 1987, this is one classic that doesn’t get a lot of recognition, mainly because of its relative rarity. Today’s 1972 GMC Sprint is thus a nice if uncommon way to celebrate an American classic from the Seventies. Identical to a Chevy El Camino, it’s got some nice alloy wheels, a 350 under the hood and just 5,000 miles of reported mileage. It’s up for grabs right now in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Exterior and Interior
This 1972 GMC Sprint’s Chevy El Camino roots are instantly recognizable, because that’s basically what it is, to a large degree. GMC and Chevrolet share model synergies to this day, with the most common being the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra twins. This particular Sprint rides on some silver mag-style wheels that gel well with its red bodywork. Meanwhile, its cargo bed features a black bed liner that shows some signs of use, signaling that this truck hasn’t been babied in its life. Then, a set of white racing stripes are present for that extra touch of sportiness. The interior of this 1972 GMC Sprint features a single cab layout and a bench seat that can accommodate up to three adults. It’s in mostly stock form, save for some additional white-faced aftermarket gauges and an Alpine head unit with CD player. You’ve also got heating and air conditioning for comfort in all seasons. There’s a two-spoke steering wheel, a column shifter, wind-up windows and manual mirrors, making this machine one that, while it offers you some comforts, doesn’t spoil you either.
Engine
Under the hood sits a carbureted small-block Chevrolet V8, naturally aspirated and equipped with a 4-barrel carburetor, optimized for smooth throttle response and street reliability. The engine bay configuration suggests a mild performance setup focused on consistent power delivery rather than high-RPM output. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission, reinforcing the Sprint’s comfortable cruiser characteristics. Power steering and power-assisted brakes enhance ease of operation, while the independent front suspension and rear live axle preserve the traditional ride and handling traits expected from early-1970s GM performance vehicles.
