NPoCP "I like GMCs, but I hate trucks" edition

Here we have an odd chicken. A 1984 GMC Caballero, or, the only true car GMC ever made (Ok there was also the Sprint, but it’s the same thing, just older!) anyway, this particular 2-owner example has 123k on the clock, and is powered by a trusty old 305ci and Turbo-Hydramatic motor-Trans combo that has taken my (former) ‘88 Silverado well over 400k miles. According to the seller, it’s got a solid bed and body, and it doesn’t look like it has much (if any) rust, although that’s to be taken with a grain of road salt, because this is NJ. It does have a new water pump and new belts though! And comes with a cap AND cover for the bed, according to the seller. typical GM clear coat peel mars an otherwise straight and debt free body, but that’s to be expected. No interior pics, but how bad could it be? Price is $3000

So oppo, NPOCP?

I like it, but I still don’t think I’d pay $3k. To me, CP, but barely. If I knew it had never been winter driven and the chance of rust was much lower, I think $3k would work for me.

Then again, I have never even seen or heard of these before so I don't know what a fair price would be.

Barely NP, if only for the rust free body. I would love another shot at an El Camino.

Price is alright. Looks like that’s kinda middle ground pricing wise for the Camino, but you get a GMC one so, yay?

Nope. Cadillacs should be made in 3 body styles only. Coupe-Convertible-Sedan. Any other, I'll disown (Escalade being the exception)

OK. I’ll stick to the Buick utes then (Buites?) and GMC. Gotta be classier than the Chevy, yo.

Figured I would bring our convo over to here. Like the two tone! Hopefully the guy bites and will trade!

Nice price!

I imagine those caps would resell for a decent buck too, as I’m sure nobody makes them anymore.

I didn’t know Buicks of such a nature existed, but now that I do I find it consuming nearly every thought of my brain. (In other words, I want one)

They don’t exist except as conversions, but common platforms make a lot of madness not only possible, but easy. I want to take a Regal one day and combine it with an El Camino in such a way as to retain the back seat *and* full bed (in other words, it’ll need a frame splice). And use the whole Buick interior, of course.
