The 1980 Chevy El Camino - Dealer Film GM124

- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2022
- This film was intended for 'new product training' on the 1980 El Camino, but would have been right at home being shown to prospective customers.
Includes Conquista, Super Sport & Royal Knight.
In a world of shopping mall 4x4's, I think it's time for these to make a comeback.

Bring back the body-on-frame, two-tone El Camino! I will take mine with the 305 and 4 speed manual 😁
No you will get a electric pod for $45,000 that the controllers can turn off with a push of a button.
1980 was the last year for the 4 speed and it had to be ordered.
Mine are both automatics and still original, just change fluid and filter every 50k miles!
I had a 1986 El Camino that I absolutely loved!
The Royal Knight package was something, wow! Imagine driving that around in 1980!
I think we could use a vehicle like this today.
I'll take the Super Sport! Good looking vehicle.
I have 2 1973 454 and a 1980 350 efi can't get enough love ❤️ my ElCaminos need to have these back
My first car was an 82 El Camino conquista. Restored it completely and I absolutely loved that car. Thank you so much for posting these
Your first car was a truck? Just say yes.
@@leadfoot1892 make El caminos great again
@@94TahoeDude check out Lt1 El Camino test drive the brown one is mine.
What a beautiful and correct America was then
Crazy this is better than a lot of modern movies 🍿 got my popcorn 😳🤪
Comfort, convenience and value!
I just bought a 1984 GMC Caballero and really like it because it's rare !!
I have the 1979 GM Caballero. It's the California edition v6, but no factory AC but will install an after market from Amazon. I bought it 2 years ago nicely running but it's been slow work in process. Almost done with the body work but overall it only had minor dents. Ready for painting by end of the month. I go back & forth between my Caballero & my 89 Mustang GT, convertible with an engine I rebuilt myself & is also ready to install. I'll be driving 2 American classics this summer here in Southern California.
I love how an orange needle on the speedometer is a "feature"
My first "car" was a 1971 Ford Ranchero GT with ram air Boss 302.
Second car was a Black Knight El Camino.
Then i got a silver/Maroon 78 El Camino SS which I still have and still drive.
And I also have my grandfather's 1984 El Camino Conquista in silver/dark blue. 350/350. Complete restoration is almost completed.
Love them all!
I swear chevy did not need to make the El Camino look this badass but they did and I'm loving it.
My high school graduation gift in 1977 was a 1977 El Camino Full Size with a 350 V8 putting out 300 hp (that was pretty good hp back then) I still have it in storage hoping to bring it out with a New LS1 Corvette Crate Engine putting out 400 hp👍
Why not go for a 770hp LSX?
They only made about 170hp in 1977 I believe?
2:42 - Already dents in the box! lol
But it's "double walled" so it doesn't show through! 😂
Yes indeed more ute videos, your giving us Elcamino lovers so much content please give us more !!.
had a 1978 conquesta El Camino, I love that car truck whatever you want to call it, you either love them or you hated them, got to tell you I love mine, my sister still has an absolute mint/ perfect 1972 454 SS El Camino, I think I'm going to find another one lol
Can I have your sisters phone number?
Very nice shaping El camino
Still driving mine, the key is park them in a garage and avoid driving in salt/snow/rain.
GMC had the Caballero as well
I wish I knew where to find tha background music just by itself
Only one Cory H that I know of that could find all this great material!
Looks good bud!
Hey man, hope you're doing well!
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish we got the Aussie utes here before manufacturing folded in that country a few years ago.
Where can I order one?
Auto trader.
These were ok, but the series that came before was far better in almost every way.
Where do you find these videos?
my cousin has that generation of el camino.
AWSOME CARS THANKS !!!!!
You mean truck!
Still one every full blue moon it's silver still looks good used see a brown all time it was a guy that had long goatee had custom wheels still looked good.
I have that!!
Radial tires were still a thing to mention as special feature in 1980?
Bias play were still in use by factories.
Yes
why was there never something like that again, it would suited especially for urban areas where you don't do any offroading and if you had to drive on unpaved roads it would be still good enough for that
the Australians had their Utes like Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore
Because guys wanted a truck to do work with and had ground clearance women wanted a family car
The combined result was a suburban.
So party in the front, work in the back. I think I am sold, but how do you think that it will hold its value? I don’t want to buy it today, then tomorrow I barely will be able to sale it.
4:02 cringe just needed a rubber mat/plywood to save that floor from whacko dents
I remember seeing el camino and I really like it...that I saw something kinda same but ugly...was called el Ranchero by ford
I get the feeling that the rear springs were probably too soft for hard work...if you need air shocks to correct the trim that says a lot. (Here in Aussie, utes almost always had additional helper leaves on top of the already stiff rear springs required for safety on rough roads...air shocks were rarely required.)
The springs are variable rate (the more you squeeze them the stiffer they get). The air shocks keep it level for handling and ad load capacity. The truck is a full size short bed( 6 foot bed), bigger than your best ute. All at a car ride height. Plus they handle curves great. A 350 small block V8 drops right in to crush Mustangs at will. Try one you'll love it!
It's a half ton truck. (Over 1,000 pounds). Tow's over 5,000 pounds. Get real! Talking bad about shit you know nothing about!
@@leadfoot1892 What are you getting all bent outta shape about, Matey? 'Half Ton Truck' - as if that means anything...just look at the trim when it gets loaded: the huge overhanging arse of it is dragging on the ground - cue the air compressor and tyre nozzle. I hardly 'spoke bad' about it...the El Camino is simply more about style than hauling loads - even the maker subtly admits that in this presentation. The bed of a 1977 Holden ute is shorter, has less overhang and is much more stiffly sprung than the Chevrolet - fact. Such a layout is better for hard work (bags of cement, bricks, firewood) - fact. No offence intended.
@@saxongreen78 they said it's a truck with style and comfort. The air shocks, which GM underrated to save from having to get weight class stickers that some states require, allow you to adjust the suspension for the load. The rear bumper never drags or sags. Empty your Holden rides stiff because of stiffer springs. Meaning the rear bounces more without a load. Just a facts of stiffer springs. Americans have loaded these trucks down and used them for work while loading them with bags of concrete, brick and even their Harleys. Then washing them off to go to dine. Style and comfort in a truck with room for tools and luggage behind the seats while still having a bed to fill. "Means nothing" to you because you don't understand our measuring systems. Your Holden has nothing special over an El Camino. Hell doesn't even have the space. We didn't even get to the handling part yet. I personally have loaded one down to twice the manufacturers weight capacity with no bumper drag. So yea when people run their mouth about stuff they have no idea about it upsets me. Mine has hauled 2 engines and a heavy 4L60E transmission with only 55 psi in the shocks (Because somebody figures that's enough air pressure for a quick fill air compressor). It corners unbelievable for a car let alone a truck. P.S. the shocks max at 100 psi.
The had the coil springs. Same as the Malibu that was a sedan version of this car.
Ryder, you sherm head !
Scary theme music
Sounds a little like Led Zeppelin No Quarter with a little "riders on the storm" thrown in!
“De CAL”
Fun fact: In Spanish, El Camino means "The Camino." 😂
that 305 was a dog.
Mine's plenty fast for me, runs smooth as a watch.
Always had a soft spot for these. Isn't Ford basically running with this basic concept with their new home run Maverick?
Not even close. Way too small to compare.
More or less, only the El Camino quickly became less of a pickup, and instead became a hot rod classic
@@F3ST3Rfilms the El Camino was built as and will always be a half ton truck. Although it is easily hot rodded or suped up. Don't knock what you don't know.
This was body on frame like a real truck
One day somebody woke up and decided that a square box must have a better drag coeifficient that a more slippery shape.
What???does that mean?
"Performance Flavored" , not that is a term ! Think I will use that for my stock 2004 Toyota Corolla
Ha ha ha ha
