7213680 =1972 El Camino Custom
tr 732 = vinyl
a52= bench type seat
5353 = "Placer Gold Metallic"

the ?16 does not make sense to me. That is where the build date would be. My '72 says "2C" which is 3rd week of Feb.

The last group of numbers have no break down from the books I have. Maybe others can come up with those.

What is the color of your Elky now??? Is it close the Placer Gold Metallic(53)???
Hope it helps.

TR = 732 = a color called "Covert". the best I can describe it is a golden or light tan color.
