randyfox Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 When you don't know whether to post in "cars" or "trucks" in the Show and Section of the forum! The compromise? Post the el Camino in this sub-forum! I don't have very many pictures of it here because it is being stored at a very good friend of ours in Texas. We were visiting a few months back and this was the first opportunity I had to see, drive, and wash it since I bought it from my brother and shipped it to Texas. Of course, I had to pack up my Adam's travel bag and give it some love while I was there! Don't leave home without it! Nasty tires and exhaust tip: Front: Rear: Exhaust: Tire after: All washed up, my wife grabbed my camera and snapped me applying some SVRT: Some hood reflections: All finished! Now keep in mind, this was just a wash and some SVRT treatment. This vehicle has not been fully detailed! It is has been in our family for nearly 30 years and well maintained for the most part. When I am in a position where I can keep it with me full time, expect to see a full detail, mini engine restoration and lots of pictures! Thanks for looking!

Redbeard Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Lookin' good! I really like the stance on that Elky! By the way, I consider them cars since they're on the A-body platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyfox Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Thanks everyone for the kind words. Growing up, I never imagined that I would ever drive it, let alone own it. I couldn't allow my brother to sell it to some stranger. We have way too much history with this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggerdan11 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The front is like a car, the back is like a truck, the front is where you drive, the back is where you..........El Camino El El Camino LOL Very Nice Car or truck or whatever I have always loved El Caminos. Has anyone else noticed that not very many women like el caminos? I wish GM would bring the Holden Ute to the US as the new El Camino. I think that would be so awesome.
