El Camino is just a low clearance pickup truck that is not even 4WD.
Get a real truck if you need a truck. Get a car if you need a car.
Not a fake car truck that is mediocre at both.

When EC's came out there was no Chrysler mini van which turned the direction of the auto industry. You
could buy a station wagon. That having been said....
Easy to park
Easy on gas if updated
Less expensive tires, brakes, etc.
And one of the only true 2-seaters that is not a sports car (they can be made to handle very well).
More or less a timeless design (I mean would you compare it to a Nova 4-door?)
And a very easy to work on analog car.
Story: I went to the Chevy dealer to look at an new early EC. It was in the showroom. I opened the door and sitting down sideways, I asked the salesman how to move the seat back. He said it was fully back so I got out and walked out of the place.
Not enough leg room for me. Now today I could do something about that with custom seats. But at current prices of 20 to 50K, and sometimes beyond that, I'm not putting that kind of money in a utility car.
