K-Roll seems to be unsure about El Caminos.

Can we all show him?

Mid '80s, my dad wanted me to buy a friend's '79 El Camino. It was really low mileage at the time, something under 20k, and he would sell it to me for $2500. No thanks. That era of El is just terrible, not matter what cool built up/sleeper/non-sleeper version you can find to show me. I had my eyes on an '85 CRX SI that I eventually bought instead.

That one in particular is a 70 Ranchero GT with the 429. You know you want a 7.0 L car-truck.

Big V8s aren't everything mate, my gas bill wouldn't make the cost of ownership all that great.

Beauty eye of beholder or something. To each their own, I'm not a fan of the Cami's cab, it just looks too small between the miles of hood and bed.

It isn't small, but does look small in pictures. I like regular cab trucks better anyway so that's why it seems right to me.

Had it been a pre'78 (although the 73-77 design ain't great), I'd have been all over it. Especially anything from 1972 backwards. The late 70s/early 80s El Camino/Malibu/whatever else was built on that chassis cause me to have serious seizures.

How about a Ranchero, El Camino, Brat, or other Ute for a winter car/parts hauler/tow vehicle?

Could I have a Ranchero like this one?

Or an El Camino that looks exactly like this one?

Could I have a Ford Torino??

I think we're finally making progress with your search for a winter car.
