I’ve always been an El Camino fan and was thrilled to learn back in 2008 that such a vehicle, this time with a Pontiac nameplate, might once again appear on options lists. It was a modified import from GM’s… more»

The Final Year: 1987 Chevrolet El Camino SS
All good things come to an end and for Chevrolet’s half car/half truck, the El Camino, 1987 was it. Ford beat Chevy to the punch by two years, introducing their Ute, the Ranchero, in ’57 with Chevrolet following suit… more»

It’s becoming a rarity to find a classic Chevrolet El Camino, such as this 1969 example that is still in its original, non-messed with form – how unusual! This Mendham, New Jersey resident really shows well with no sign… more»

Barn Bound 35 Years: 1969 Chevrolet El Camino
Last week I covered a pair of fifth-generation Chevrolet El Caminos, an ’80 and an ’86, so today, I’m going to wind the clock back to what is, ostensibly, the most popular generation, that being the third (’68-’72), and… more»

LS Candidate? 1986 Chevrolet El Camino
Having not covered a fifth-generation El Camino until writing up this 1980 example last week, I now have a second subject Camino in the form of a 1986 model. Not much had changed in the seven model years that… more»

Cheap No Reserve 1980 Chevrolet El Camino
Pity the fifth-generation Chevrolet El Camino (’78-’87), they just don’t attract the interest that earlier generations do. Chevrolet did a nice job of getting the size right but they seemed to miss the boat in other areas. So, with… more»

Requiem For A Friend: 1969 Chevrolet El Camino
If a palm tree falls in southern California and no one hears it, does it make a sound? It does if it lands on a 1969 Chevrolet El Camino. This is a sad tale, a tale of an old… more»

4X4 Big Block? 1965 Chevrolet El Camino
Believe it or not, this is not the first time that I’ve encountered a 4X4 Chevrolet El Camino. I was stuck in traffic in Ft. Lauderdale years ago and encountered a 1969 model that was done up about the… more»

Triple Carbs/4-Speed! 1959 Chevrolet El Camino
There’s no doubt about it, a Chevrolet El Camino always gets my attention. I’ve waxed on about them here on Barn Finds, often, but I have to honestly tell you that the bat-winged 1959 version is not my favorite…. more»

Stored 40 Years: 1967 Chevrolet El Camino
A second-gen (’64-’67) Chevrolet El Camino, such as this 1967 example, is always a nice find, mostly because they often get overshadowed, in numbers and value, by the third-gen (’68-’72) version. The images of our subject car aren’t the… more»

Clean As A Whistle! 1982 Chevrolet El Camino
I’m on the fence with the final El Camino generation, such as this 1982 example. I’m a Camino fan but most of my fandom has to do with gen-3 (’68-’72). Gen-4 is in fuggedaboutit territory but gen-5? Depends, good… more»

396-Powered 1982 Chevrolet El Camino
Things, automotive-wise, were looking shaky in the ’80s. A lingering recession at the start of the decade, and another oil embargo in ’79 compounded problems already brought about by stringent emission control regs, CAFE standards, and growing Asian competition…. more»

Leave Stock Or Modify? 1981 Chevrolet El Camino
In 1981, there wasn’t really a Ford version of the Ranchero other than the unusual and fairly rare Ford Durango which was built on the Ford Fairmont Futura platform. The other Rancheros had gone bye-bye in 1979 so if… more»

Smorgasbord! A Trio Of 1960 Chevrolet El Caminos
It’s a 1960 El Camino lollapalooza! But before you get too excited, let’s consider their condition which is less than optimal. Still, it’s interesting to find three, fairly obscure vehicles together. You have to wonder what’s up? Was this… more»
