1973 El Camino Regular Production Options*
This page will only list the RPO code, quantity sold, possible number of units the option was available on, and the percentage of those sold vs. possible.
Chevrolet did not retain any records on combinations of options. This means it is impossible to know how many of any particular series and body style came with any combination of options such as how many convertibles were built with a 4-speed and/or a specific optional engine or how many 2-door sport coupes came with a radio.
Many options shown here were available on other Chevelle models as well as the El Camino. The totals shown are for the option itself and not how many were ordered with the El Camino.
