The El Camino. Beauty that works. Over the years, the El Camino has been fitted with everything from rip-snorting, high-output big-blocks to meek, energy-crunch V6s. Chevy even offered the ill-fated 350-cubic-inch diesel V-8. Through all of the changes, the El Camino has managed to assert its individual styling to capture the minds and hearts of multiple generations of automotive enthusiasts. The El Camino's car-like styling and the work/play options of a truck have made it one of the most popular vehicles ever produced. Indeed, the Chevrolet El Camino lasted nearly a decade longer on the market than Ford’s Ranchero, proving its distinctive blend of car styling and truck capability was "the way" for almost a million customers. We were supposed to see a modern El Camino revival with the Pontiac G8 ST, but thanks to the economic meltdown, that didn't happen. Today, the El Caminos of yesterday are going through an exciting rebirth. They are being restored, rebuilt, customized and loved. The El Camino is a perfect car for a collector. A noteable quote from Road and Track "a classic El Camino is always going to be cool" (R&T 4/14/16). My 86 El Camino site is comprised of 4 main tabs. Historical presents a brief history of the Chevrolet El Camino, summarizing its 5 generations. Each features a link showing the unique body style that began that particular generation. It incudes the Chevrolet El Camino & Choo-Choo Customs / GMC Sprint & Caballero Production totals by year. The Exterior and Interior pages provide a good look at my 86 both inside and outside. Under the Hood covers the mechanical details of the Cowboy Cadillac. |
