Excellent !
Scotty Is it possible that my truck feels like it needs an alignment if a put some very cheap tires! I took my tundra to 2 places and they both said that the alignment is perfect?
Hey Scotty... Stop by my home in Dyersburg Tennessee... I got a 04 Lincoln Navigator with rough starting!
Theyre making the ford focus pickup so a el camino thing maybe coming back
Hey Scotty. Love your channel. What do you think about the 2018 Ford Escape SE?
"even if your not into the old stuff"- and he shows a picture of a cougar!! funny stuff there Scotty.
bruce lee yes- but he also mentioned the good rear end😍👀
Scotty has the best memes !
@@ChuckRCox ,,, Yup loved that one too
He should've used a picture of a Mercury Cougar to see if we'd get the reference ;)

😂
@@Gugernoot I'd take an old GM over a new one anyday, even the newer 90s Tahoe/Suburbans could take a hell of a beating before calling it quits. New ones are just rolling problems on wheels, I pulled up to the gas station awhile ago and a lady was there with a brand new Chevy Crossover, probably a '17 model. She had just put gas in it and the car went completely dead, had power but refused to do anything when the ignition was pushed. She had to get her brand new car towed to the dealer, ridiculous! There's nothing wrong with computers in cars, but GM really can't make them right!
I think old Scotty was having a flashback when he was talking about that front seat! 🤔
Scotty getting spicy about those Saturdays nights. That El Camino def has been rocking.
Front seat has had many miles on it :)
Rocking like when Scotty was pushing up and down on the front grill.
That's why the suspension is shot.
@benz merc yeah the back grill will have to wait like all the rest.
Nice Zardoz profile pic
The Saturday night reference made me laugh out loud. I'm so immature.

He pounded the sex dust out of that seat! Lol
I’m not gonna lie- I think the Camino would be a good father son project! Maybe the beginning of a restoration series?
as a person who works on an el camino with his dad, it is the perfect project car and the sound of getting it going and taking it out together is honestly the best feeling ever

Perfect choice of thumbnail Scotty.
If i even would see a glimpse of a el camino for 500, id buy it, they cost 6k in finland

I tried to restore a civic, but it was running perfectly
JoeKickass324 It could run perfectly and still need some restoration. Try harder and if you still can’t find anything to restore just buy some lightweight wheels, better tires and Bilstein HD shocks so you can feel some improvement you made.
Randy Jackson Only if you paid someone to do it otherwise more like 8-12k in parts and supplies. That leaves a lot of room for modifications and if you don’t count your hours as work you get something much nicer, potentially more reliable and cheaper than a new truck.

I have full confidence that GM will find a way to mess up the new El Camino
GM doesnt make El Camino anymore
And never will,
couldnt charge as much money for it
As their big trucks
They’ll probably make it mid engine and charge 60k to hype up every one
A guy here in Texas used new Camaro body parts on a Camino, thing looked sweet.
@@WANDERER0070 scotty said they might bring it in 2020
Look at the Holden Commodore Ute and the Maloo. That's GM and they've closed down Holden in Australia. Perfect to rejig as the new Camino. The 4 door sedan version was sold in the US as the Chevrolet SS. It was made with V6 and V8 including the Corvette engine and 6spd manual.
That rear end 👀🔥

Hey Scotty, just wanted to say thank you for continuing to educate everyone here. You helped me out about 8 years ago by replying to a comment I left, regarding an old 87 Camaro. That interaction made a huge impact and has kept me watching over the years helping me learn more. So thank you for what you do, for the time you've been helping us, and we look forward to the future videos you will have!
Rev up your sons El Camino V6
4:51...love it!
You dare to rev it? I got a check engine light and oil/choke light when I did rev it over 4500
Sounds freakin amazing 🔥🔥
What scotty said: "for 500 bucks, its a solid car"
What scotty have in mind: "not as solid as my 350 bucks celica though"
Yea but you cant haul a dirt bike in a celica.
See i had to take a break from Scotty videos this man overwhelmed me with so much " This will destroy your car , changing your engine oil will damage your car, driving will destroy your car " etc..When it comes to project videos specially with Scotty no way I'm missing it.

Nice Chevy, from days when this brand was known for bullet proof cars
@Randy Jackson why would you ever buy a v6 🤣😂🤣😂🤭🤭🤭
80s gm idk..everything but the engine has probably been replaced or is broken.
@Randy Jackson And literally NOTHING you listed has ANYTHING to do with being bulletproof.
1:03 Still has the Rear end, my man scotty!
I love how Scotty is just diving into the engine bay, just bending right in.
Yep the Blazer lost its Man Card. The blazer looks like another soccer mommy SUV.
Kirk Miner I think it looks like a camaro that got stung by a bee.
Totally agree, seems GM could have done a way better revamp on the Blazer. What a disappointment, but if its not kid or family friendly guess they didnt want to shoot for too narrow of a market.
Should've brought it back more like the square body style.
Which is a shame because the Blazer and the Hummer H1 were literally the only vehicles on the road that were seen as a "man's car". Everything else is either gender neutral or identified as being a "woman's car". Almost anything under 3000 lb is seen as a woman's car these days. You just can't win if you're a guy.

Cheers to Saturday nights! - 😁
Never had any interest in vehicle or car repair till I started watching Scotty. Now I really look forward to fixing my own car. Thank goodness I'm into 70's vehicles.
I bought a 79 El Camino. Matte black with no Engine or Transmission no rust or dents for 600. Only internal mess here and there. Putting a Ls Engine in it .
Loving the rear end imagery 😂
I'm glad you mentioned Chevy screwing up the Blazer. That was once a great vehicle. The new one looks like everything else in the GM lineup.
...isnt that the point? A car usually has to share design queues with other vehicles in its brand. That's why BMWs all have those kidney grills, Toyotas have those whale mouth grills, and the Corvette back looks like a Camaro. If a Blazer didn't look like a Chevy vehicle then the designers failed at their jobs
@@swagmonee5699 They were able to bring the camaro back a few years ago and make it looked good. They didn't have to make it look like every other crossover. If you're going to do that don't call it Blazer. It's not going to help sales.
They're just playing to the current market. Every brand has a whole big range of SUVs that are barely bigger than one another but that's what the people want. I agree they should've made the Blazer more off-road worthy or at least given it a different name, but the car itself isn't that bad.
And it isn't going to hurt sales either. If anything, I think it'll help sales because the older people that are getting SUVs are going to remember the Blazer name, possibly connect it to a good memory or something, and then buy it based off nostalgia or maybe just name recognition.
@@swagmonee5699 its also an AWD transverse mounted engine vehicle, its just a larger equinox. they shouldve just made it a SUV on the colorado frame then it wouldve been a proper blazer
Swag Monee I grew up with Blazers, the new one is a total fail and if I have to explain why you just aren’t going to get it. You have to be a car car to understand why the blazer will flop.
I wish I could find a running El Camino for $500.
Hell yeah...Good lookin car
The old owner knows Scotty...😁
Go In a time machine to say 1974 and you can buy a 1965 El Camino and the previous models for a bargan with the Oil Embargo Going on.
My step dad had one several years before he passed,... for doin' exactly what you were talking about. Zoomin' around town, throwin' things in the back or to pick up at his auto shop in town and bring home real quick.. this brings back lots of great memories. "Excellent video as always!"

That's the truth, my brother lives in Tennessee, and there is a classic car dealership about 5 mins from his house
not really if you want classics you need to go to cali or someplace like that where the bodies are still in good rust free or surface rust form still.

Gm dont blow it, bring back the bench seat.
Only a split 40:60 bench makes sense.
I did appreciate the split bench in my wife's Taurus wagon. I'm 6'4" and she's 5'1".
Buckets really only make sense in a super low car like a MG or Corvette. Almost every sedan would be better with a modern bench.
They will never bring that bench seat back due to regulations
@@samlung2724 yeah because bench seats have the lap belts which aren't legal to manufacture

At the same time, I look at the listings on the Dealerships for a used base model F150 for $25000 and my stomach gets queasy. It is what America has become...
It's worth it tho

El camino's are still my favorite cars since I saw my first one in '76. Never bought one but looked at many. I agree with you and hope they don't screw up the new ones if they ever do come out with a new one. Funny the Blazer was the first thing I thought of when you said that !! Thanks Scotty for all you do !!
I bought a ‘76 El Camino in 1979 for $3500, best car I ever had. Wish I still had it😢

@@antsan04 nothing wrong with them more like there's a LOT of 'em so you're just a part of the hive really
@@devnotes00 Understood but that particular generation of civic was very desirable especially with the single cam 1.6. That was the engine that Honda claimed to get 500,000 miles out of and of course, if you don't beat it or do god knows what to it, it will last that long.
Buy a beamer
Just like my 95 Grand Marquis. Solid frame. Of course I don't have a rich dad to help me fix the cosmetic stuff. But it still runs smooth as silk so it's not a big deal ...... truly blessed
Lucky he has a smart dad who did smart things and made a few extra dollars to take care of his family.
I have owned many Elkys from 1959 to 1978 models. The best one was a 1974 model, but body parts were extremely hard to find. The 1978 to 1986 models still have any part you can think of still available thru aftermarket sources. The worst thing about Elkys is the frame rusts out real bad in the rear wheel areas. JB
Awesome find. Had a '79 Malibu wagon which was very similar to this. Same basic shape. Solid green with no spoiler. V8 267ci. It got poor mileage due to it needing work. This Camino brings back memories. Saw lots of them in the 80's.
I have a brown one with the 267. Great car. Sleeper for sure. Stomped more than a few wannabe racers. Kinda rotting away in my driveway now. Bet if the interior was fresh the girls would dig it as much as I do.
I like the bench seat
Scotty's son; 'Dad"
Scotty; " you're doing it wrong"..

Nice Ute! Good to hear they're bringing it back. When they stopped manufacturing here in Australia, the ute went with it, but it looks like it might make a comeback.
Wow finally i saw a good feedback from you about old American cars!
Please talk about them more, there are too many like me still living in those days and sick of new junk cars.

I hope the New Elcamino comes back with front split bench seating for reasons described at: 2:11 and also for practicality purposes such as knee room.
Damn that’s my dream project car salutes from México

@Mark Lance Hey its brainwashed hill billy ❄️
I’ve always liked the El Camino body style. Keep us posted on the restoration progress.

Hey Scotty Im 26 bought a 1978 a few years back, put on a fuel injection system and a new cam My El is getting 30 mpg highway and its got a rebuilt 350. Perfect thing to go grab the odd buy across state nice vid.
Your visuals while you were talking made my day made my day.🤙😃
how in the world did he find that for just 500$. ugh
especially in texas a car lik ethat is $1200 average but there are cheap deals in oregon!
You just be resourceful like scotty...
80s el caminos are super cheap
A trip to craigslist/ faceboom market place youll find them with v8's running and driving listed for 1.5-2k. He has a 6 its less desired probablly listed for 1.2-1.5. Then the kid probablly found one desperate enough to let it go for 500 bucks which isn't suprising. If you have the time, the patience, and willingness to sell off part of your soul for a good deal its more than possible.
A lot to be said for a car with a bench seat and no floor shift.... but I'm not going to say it.
There were advantages to "Three on the tree"
Some older Mercedes had 4 on the tree. 1960's 190 model, I believe. (5 if you count Reverse)
@@jonsmith1259 Some old European Fords (Taunus,Consul,etc) had this,too?
No idea. I only know about the 190 because a friend in High School had one.
I like how your videos have a little humor in them. The comment about death valley make me laugh 😂.
I would love to see a project series where you guys work on it
Yeah Scotty always loved the El Camino's......nice car to restore...,for me, I gotta go with the V8...
I had a "73" El Camino for 30 years .. great car imo much better than newer years ! thanks Scotty !
Scotty is having a
my name is Earl moment.
.........'be on the lookout for two dirtbags in an El Camino"
cops love checking on those. lol.
Is a 2010 Toyota Camry a reliable car to buy. It has 140,000 miles and is for 3,500 dollars. Should I buy it?
Kids who have never fixed anything have no idea how much fun and how satisfying it is to fix and daily a car like this. I know everything on RUclips has 1000hp but those cars are unreliable money pits and are unattainable for a lot of people. You can learn a ton and have a lot of fun with something like this. It's cheap to fix, easy to fix and will only be worth more if/when the time comes to sell it.
I had a jet black 81 El Camino with the V6. Had it for 10 years. That thing was awesome!
We had a Buick wagon with the same tail lights.
