Its not very useful either as a car (no back seat) or as a truck but it has unique looks and certain advantages over both car or truck. It has a very long bed (longer than most pick up trucks) so it is useful for light but long loads. It is ideal for transporting bikes, wood for weekend projects, etc. I swaped the stock 305 V8 for a high compresion 350 small block with headers, a hotter camshaft, an edelbrock manifold and a holley 4 barrel carb. Next on the to do list is the paint and the interior. I might change the torque converter later.

its a great fast an powerful car that will easily throw you back into the seat. If you buy this car it would be a great idea to buy some stocks in your favorate brand of tire as well because you will burn through them quickly.

Bad MPG but I loved driving it around. i made it really fast and handled okay. The Chevrolet El Camino is my favorite model by GM. This car can bring lots of fun and makes great for racing. A lot you can do to this car for a project.

stock motors after 25 years obviously suck. as well with suspension and braking, but with new after market parts for just about everything you can make any car perform to its max potential. a true head turner any where you take el camino.

In all aspects of perfomance the car is sound I have had it to 115 mhr only running on the two barrel now the fours open like they should. I punched it the other day and left both rear tire marks for about 200 feet the motor has been replaced from the 305 to a 350 with the 350 turbo trans. Like all older cars it has needed parts A arms,water pump,feul pump,radiator,oter than that she runs like a champ. This car is very fun to drive for a person with a heavy foot she will kick it sifeways in a hurry the paint is purple with metalic flake driver seat is worn from so much geting in and out.
