El Camino - Everything You Need to Know | Up to Speed

It's a bird! It's a truck! It's a car! --it's the Chevy El Camino!
Taking cues from the Ford Ranchero, Chevy rolled out the El Camino in 1964. Through it's history, it's died, been reborn, lived as a confused truck car hybrid, grown into a burnout + drag machine muscle car, but all the while it has captured our attention as one of the most unique American cars of all time.

@Art Lira, my ex-stepfather had a 1969 Chevrolet El Camino SS (it may have been a 1968 Chevrolet El Camino SS, but I could not tell at the time), but it was black and it was horribly besieged by rust, but he was too poor/lazy/drunk/stupid/drugged up to ever properly fix it, or his 1955 Chevrolet Apache, 1967 Chevrolet C-10, 1968 GMC C/K 1500 Longhorn, 1972 Chevrolet Nova SS, or his 1964 Dodge Polara Max Wedge for that matter. My sisters also owned some sweet rides, as did my mother, in their cases, a 1975 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, a 1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro, and a 1978 Plymouth Volare (coupe version, the trim that was below the Road Runner trim) for the oldest sister, a 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 and a 2005 Nissan 350 Z for the younger sister, and a 1967 Ford Bronco (before I was born), 1967 Chevrolet Malibu station wagon/estate car/shooting brake (I think, and also before I was born), a 1976 Chevrolet Caprice Estate station wagon/estate car/shooting brake, a 1978 Datsun 510/Datsun 1300/Datsun 1500/Datsun 1600/Datsun Bluebird/Nissan Bluebird station wagon/estate car/shooting brake, a 1980 Volvo 260 Estate station wagon/estate car/shooting brake, a 1977 AMC Concorde (which is essentially a four door version of the underrated 1970-1977 AMC Hornet), and a 1980 Dodge Aspen (sedan/saloon version) was what my mother owned, respectively.

[@paxhumana2015]

@@Samuel.C428 , here are some fun facts for you to know in your life. The options for the Chevrolet Chevelle also fit perfectly on the Chevrolet El Camino. Moreover, there was also an SS option for the Chevrolet El Camino as well, as my ex-stepfather owned one such vehicle (well, he also had a 1972 Chevrolet Nova SS, but I was talking about the vehicles that were built upon the Chevrolet Chevelle/Malibu platform). Finally, if neither a Chevrolet Chevelle SS or Chevrolet El Camino SS are affordable enough for you, then you can get the highly underrated Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, which was only available from 1970 to 1972, and only 1970 had the same power plant as one of the most powerful forms of the Chevrolet Chevelle in the SS 454 form, or the even more underrated Chevrolet Biscayne, which had all sorts of crazy power options, including access to, as well as full compatibility with, the most powerful engines of the Chevrolet Malibu/Chevelle line, including the same 6.5 liter, and 396 cubic inch, engine that powered the Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396, the same 7.0 liter, and 427 cubic inch, engine that powered the Chevrolet Chevelle SS COPO 427 and Yenko (Chevrolet) Chevelle L72 427/425 HP, and the same 7.4 liter, and 454 cubic inch, engine that powered the Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 LS6.

[@Samuel.C428]

Monte Carlos ain't bad but I think the Biscayne is really underrated I haven't even heard of it.and if I get an el Camino with the L's 454 ,then I'm gonna buy a chevelle body and restore it.anyway you know Chevy muscle cars better than me.great job!

My dad owned and still owns an 83 SS El Camino. That was an awesome car to grow up with. We towed a 26ft camper with it, dad took the glass off the back and put a camper shell on it for long road trips so the kids could relax in the bed of the truck, it toasted every mustang, camaro, charger, new or old that tried to beat it from a light. It was freakin perfect. One of these days I'm going to pull it out of his garage and get it running again.

[@possiblycrazy442]

*_EXTRA ELKY FACTS:_* -GMC made a sister car called the Sprint, later called the Caballero. The "SS" equivalent was the "Sprint SP" and the Black/Royal Knight equivalent was the "Caballero Diablo." -Choo-Choo Customs Inc., of Chattanooga, Tennessee made their own "El Camino SS" package from '83 to '87 by giving the Elco the aerodynamic front fascia of the Monte Carlo SS, a medium length bolt-on cowl induction hood scoop, and in many cases special side skirts. -In 2008, Pontiac released for public viewing what they called the "G8 ST" (ST meaning Sport Truck) based on the Holden Ute. It was slated for a 2010 model year release, but was halted due to budget cuts and the eventual death of Pontiac. This would have been GM's first U.S.-sold utility coupe since the El Camino's retirement in 1987 (with the death of the G-body platform) and it could have meant the possible return of the El Camino.

One day I will definitely get a 70’s 454 model el Camino and be back on the road again with those beauty’s. Such a great muscle truck. 😛

Good news! What! It's Dacia Sandero!

[@Gonzo100ish]

I picked up an '86 Elco Conquista out of a lady's driveway for $2500 about 3 months ago. So far it's been a great fair weather daily, and I'm looking forward to hopping it way up.

[@bilboscavins]

I’m 20 my first car was the 1978 GMC Caballaro and I got a Gti afterwards and sold the vdub and started driving the caballaro again lmao badass car

[@Hondeer]

78 elky was my first car back in 2002. After being around the ring a bit, looking at getting another one and putting a modern engine like the LFX in it. They're truly great machines!

[@analgins]

Bring us up to speed about Holden UTE :)

[@Bunchofhobbies]

I have a 1986 el Camino and it’s nice to hear some praise about the beautiful beasts

[@octaneartllc]

Currently restoring a 77 elco for a custy... What a beast! Right to the wood... 110% back to perfect mint... Just like these videos the pinnacle of luxury! Keep up the good work, this car history is excellent!!!! Fyi check out an Aussie ute... Holden or Ford they are beauty units

They tried bringing it back through Holden of Australia. There was a dealership in Colorado selling them in small quantities. Its pretty badass...

[@xanni-]

I’m 16 and bought a 79 elco. Right now I have it on center line 15s but I have some supreme 14s I’m putting on it when I get tires. I enjoy the car cause I can use it as a low rider or a truck

[@JohnnieDorman77]

I got a 73 Elky SS with a 454 engine, and it of course was somewhat detuned for less emissions, but I hear that all that LS5 big block Chevy needs is a higher lobe cam shaft to give it more horses and more torque. The 1970 El Camino SS had an LS6 big block and had a cam shaft with higher lobes, which is probably the cam shaft I would want for my 73 LS5 big block, but I don't know that for sure, still researching that. All I can say is that I love that 73 of mine, it's the biggest and heaviest one that Chevy ever built. What a ride!

[@Jon_Rivera180]

Garrett Jenkins I know nothing about BMW and I'd also like to see it happen.

[@renndub]

My first car was a 1979 Royal Knight. It was actually a trim package for the SS. It had the 350/350 tow package and a 10 bolt posi rear. I loved that thing. Drifty too.

[@zastaroth669]

I wish they'd bring it back now, especially with trucks and crossovers being increasingly popular as of late. It would be great condition for the new Ford Bronco.

[@mattliptrot7052]

Just watched this video and I wish I did sooner. Bough a 84 El Camino as my first car in high school back in 2012. Was the only sophomore who had a car and no license. Still miss that car

[@tcayzer]

If you can get a two door truck to hold a full sheet of drywall or plywood, and then make it a car, there's a frickin' market for this, Chevy/Ford! Think about it, lower ground height and smoother areo, with fuel efficient engines, can be dreams of the jobsites again.

Ford, Chevy and dodge all make long box 2wd reg cab trucks that haul way more than a truck car . there’s no market for it. Holden and au Ford couldn’t keep them in production either

[@malva9092]

@@theicedman you are talking about the US and top countries where people can afford everything, this would be aimed for developing or sub developed countries in a budget lol, not everyone can get a F350 with credit

[@86twin]

Imagine Chevy Ford and Dodge 1500 pickup long bed but with a lowered roofline , about an inch more ride height than a car, and a air leveling system in the back. And lower the bed walls a notch to make it easy to reach over. I’d buy it. However, two door pickups aren’t a thing unless you’re a fleet or a dealer is willing to hand you an order form.

It's been a lifetime goal of mine to own a 1970 El Camino. I would love to any year but that's the one that I love the most.

My favorites are probably the 59-60, but the ones more common that I’m after are from 64-67, personally although 1970 is one hell of a year for the el Camino too
