We used to have an active El Camino club. One guy had essentially a Corvette with a El Camino body. I bet he paid 25 grand for the black paint job. It was spectacular. His wife had some health issues and he needed to sell it. I think he got 18 grand for a car he had likely 100 grand invested. No doubt over the years my repair bill are not insignificant, but they are WAY way under the cost of a car payment, or a replacement car cost.
I love it because at least once a week someone give me a random thumbs up, or says Nice Car or some comment. Once a month someone offers to buy it. No one does that with just another pickup or SUV.
I remember when the H1 Hummer hit the market, they were everywhere. I have not seen a H1 on the road in years, except the real Military versions. Now the H2 are gone and on rare occasions I see a H3.
Chevy teased the El Camino faithful a couple of years ago and promised a new El Camino. It just vanished. There is just no replacement for it on the market.
