If GM had kept making them, and made one in left hand drive, and kept the price reasonable, they likely would have stolen sales from the regular pickups.

The El Camino's last year was 1987. There are rumors that a few were sold and titled as an 88, but none have been verified. We had an active El Camino club for years. There were many rather beat up ones, a few show cars with more 30K paint jobs, and monster engines, and Corvette suspension that had insane money dumped on them, and the owner would not drive them anymore as they were too nice. Then they sold them for pennies on the dollar invested.

El Camino Central is a forum that has been active for years, and has some great members.

Mine is just my daily driver. Not a show car at all, but really nice for a 37 year old vehicle with 380,000 miles. The cruise control module is acting up, and I need to get it rebuilt again. Otherwise everything is in perfect working order, as good as new, or often much better than original.
