And now Holden is gone altogether.
Chevy just stopped developing the El Camino in 1984 or so, and they lasted until 1987, and production was stopped. Mine was sold as SS model, but that was just a sticker on the side. It was factory delivered with just a speedometer, fuel gauge and idiot lights and a 305 V8. I changed the dash to all gauges, and wore the 305 out and replaced it with a 350.
Many were used as pickups, and just beat to death, because they are not really pickups. They are cars with a really really big trunk. The frame is not boxed, and it is a unique frame longer than the Station wagon version of the Monty.
It is great for hauling light loads and the simple tasks I use it for.
