Great story, awesome wash El Camino -conquista (conqueror) - looks absolutely spectacular.. Great job as always ! super humble family we love you guys from Europe we send you hugs and happy holidays !!!
"The El Camino Conquista is a package option for the Chevrolet El Camino that includes bright moldings on the lower body and half-fender openings. The Conquista package is available with all interior and powertrain options, but it doesn't automatically include other features like bumper guards, bucket seats, or a center console."
The way you can tell it’s a real one, the cowl is painted black and it should also have rails onto of the quarter panels. It has the holes for them. A pair of rails run about $500 for a nice pair.
Guys in my opinion this was your best video to date! Loved the energy and excitement unveiling your new line of products and the genuine happiness in wanting to make this ride so nice again for the family. Awesome job guys!
This was one of our favorites as well. When we find a car that is unique, meet wonderful people, and get to tell a story, we feel the most alive. We are so thankful for this opportunity, and can’t thank our subscribers enough!
I own a company specializing in parts for these El Caminos. To the family that owns this car, Please reach out if you’re in need of parts to get it back on the road. Id be happy to hook you up!
This “cruck” brings back so many memories, my granddaddy had one exactly like this. When I got my license I got to cruise her around. Congrats on your line of products guys!!! Easily one of the top 5 channels on RUclips!!!! 🎉❤
Stop you’re making us blush 😅 truthfully we are just thankful to be able to live a dream, and pursue this career. People like yourself, afford that to us, and we couldn’t be more grateful 🙏🏼
My father was in construction and had a number of El Camino’s the interior was like a car but he was able to put his toolbox, lumber and other stuff in the bed of it. It was a much smoother ride than a pickup truck. I can’t believe how much chrome was on that vehicle and how clean the white walls and hubcaps turned out and a real bumper. In Wisconsin its considered a truck.
Yes, the Conquista package was a popular option for the 1986 El Camino. It added stylish two-tone paint options, chrome exterior trim, and some interior upgrades, making it a standout choice for those wanting a mix of utility and elegance.
Congrats on the new line of products! I am so happy for you all. Your hard work has definitely paid off! Saturday morning car details with my coffee are the best way to start the weekend!
The El Camino is a Malibu station wagon with most of the roof cut off. The rear seat foot well area is still intact. It is covered under the front of the “truck bed” floor which is where you found the spare tire.
@@SlimWhittman nope. The elco frame is significantly longer than the wagon frame, same with the wheelbase. The elco shares the more laid back A-pillar angle with the malibu coupe, this is different than the wagon so they use different windshields as well. They do share the same floorpan section as the coupe/sedan/wagon however.
Beautiful "cruck" cross between the two. Great to see the family's reaction to the car being returned as well, they feel the emotion. Thanks for helping them out with this one. Have a great day and safe travels
Love see these humbling videos, generation after generation. And he kept his Grand father’s car to promise himself that he would be very happy to have it as his own and to still honor his grandfather! Love this vid, loved the detail, loved the family. Everything was great, keep it up guys. You always do amazing jobs and amazing moments for people! 👏🏼👍🏼🙏
We are so lucky to get the opportunity to be apart of these moments with such wonderful people, wonderful cars, and wonderful stories. Sincerely, thank you for supporting us and allowing us to chase this dream !
Honest to God above, those were real tears in my eyes. I loved my grandmother and grandfather dearly, and miss them everyday. I strive to create and be apart of moments like these, because I know they are watching from above, and are proud.
Yes, an El Camino is considered a truck, although it's technically a "car-based pickup" as it combines the body style of a car with the utility of a pickup truck, built on a modified car chassis, making it a hybrid vehicle between the two categories; essentially, it's a car that has a pickup bed integrated into its design.
GM/Goodwrench crate 350. Factory was a 305, and it probably crapped the bed, or Gramps needed/wanted more oomph. The mechanicals are pretty straightforward on that thing. Shouldn't take but a local old-school motor head to get that thing running over the course of an afternoon.
Congrats on the procucts ! And to answer your question, the El Camino is both! It's classified as a car-truck hybrid, often referred to as a "utility vehicle." It features a car-like front end and a truck bed, combining elements of both vehicles. Originally produced from 1959 to 1960 and then from 1964 to 1987, it was designed to provide the comfort of a car with the utility of a pickup truck. Oh and the Conquista (meaning 'Conquest' in Spanish) is mainly consisted of a special paint treatment.
I drove, if I recall, an1981 El Camino, from Nova Scotia to Hershey, Pa. for the fall show. It had a 396 in it. Left Nova Scotia and hurricane Juan chased us all the way out of Maine. Had to leave the car in Calais, Maine, for one week for customs purposes, put a Honda 750 in the back. 700 kms to get back to N.S. and bloody cold. I'm 76, no big deal..great video guys. Thank you.
My grandfather had a ‘63 El Camino, 3 on the tree. Antique white with ox blood interior. He gave it to my cousin who sold it. I would give anything to have that back. It was the coolest vehicle I’ve ever ridden in. One day, I will find one & restore it to my memory.
That is what we call a Ute in New Zealand and Australia. Holden and Ford made these in Australia, and they were very popular for Tradies before the standard Rangers and Hiluxs you see today. They are virtually a beefed-up rear spring car chase and front half of the car with a tray. They often come with a canopy to waterproof and secure your gear.
Brings back memories. I bought an 86 El Camino new. Best car I ever owned. I got it with the SS Package but without the decals. Came with a 350 4 barrel carb. 4 speed automatic (3 speed plus over drive), tow package, posi rear end. Air Shocks in the back (1200lb payload). Was a great car/truck. I used it more as a truck. Did a lot of Home depot trips in it. It was on the road for 10 years 250k miles. Started blowing oil and with New England weather, Started roting out. It's sat in the driveway and another five years thinking I'd restore it. In 1986 I purchased it for 14k I ended up selling it for $500 . I was sad to see it go
I enjoy Saturday mornings like when I was a kid watching Bugs Bunny back in the day thanks to your cool videos each Saturday! All I need is my bowl of Fruit Loops and I'm good to go! Keep up the great work and congrats on your success
If you would popped the center cap, I believe you can use a socket or hex socket to undo the bolt, it was the same on my 83 Regal. Conquista means Conquer
Conquista was a package option for the El Camino. If I remember right, it came with custom colors and a bigger engine, I think the 350 and sport gauges.
350 engines were only available til 1982. Mostly went to police Malibus. This looks like a highly optioned Conquista. Only other option is also color matched 14” rally wheels.
In Australia this type of car is very popular and is called a 'Ute' short for Utility vehicle, so you are both wrong - basically a vehicle type of its own with features of cars and trucks, so its a tie. Love the content guys.
Excellent results cleaning up the El Camino ! It looks like with maybe just a good tune-up it'll be on the road again. Great reveal and reaction from the family ! 👍
The work you guys do is awesome,but the owner’s reaction ties it all together…….congrats on the product line!!!!….bringing these beautiful vehicles to shine brings back great memories.
You guys also got me on this one. Your passion and heart shows. Keep on doing what your doing. God has bless you guys so have blessed others. And also you guys do the best job!
Great video. honestly, I got tired of watching you clean rested wrecks that were never going ot drive again. GREAT to see you give one a chance to live again! TY
Thats not a 2 barrel, thats a 4 barrel quadra-jet. I love El Caminos and have several of them lol. I'm looking forward to trying out your new cherry wash on my own cars but was bummed there wasn't a t-shirt to pick up with it. Great work as always
The Chevrolet ElCamino is registered as a truck, great video guys I loved my El Camino. Mine was a 1974 with 350 racing engine in it, also it was candy apple red.
Growing up near Louisville, I am familiar with Crestwood, KY and Brownsboro Automotive shown on the oil change sticker. Such a great transformation on a cool car.
That is apackage option just like the El Camino Caballero which includes paint options engine size, options like the interior whether vynil or plush velour etc.
My first car in 1986 was a 1980 Malibu Classic, essentially another G body. Mine had a V6 but still was light enough on the back to get a little sideways and burn the tires! Loved that car and with the plush seats and my added Pioneer stereo system I thought I was bad ass.
11:12 In the US you call it a truck. We call it a ute in Australia. Trucks are different. That is a sedan with a utitility at the back and we shorten everything and it is called a ute.
he El Camino Conquista is a package option for the Chevrolet El Camino that includes bright moldings on the lower body and half-fender openings. The Conquista package is available with all interior and powertrain options, but it doesn't automatically include other features like bumper guards, bucket seats, or a center console. The value of an El Camino Conquista can vary depending on its condition, mileage, history, and options. For example, a 1980 El Camino Conquista in good condition with average specs might be worth around $7,900, while a rare or well-maintained example with desirable features could sell for much higher. Chevrolet is also developing a new generation of the El Camino that's expected to be released in late 2025. The new model will feature a retro design with modern technology, including a modernized dual headlamp design and an updated front grill. It will also have a longer wheelbase and a redesigned interior.

I love the El Camino they may have stopped making them . But they will never go out of Style; and the most important thing is the Power of the "FAMILY" ❤
One of my aunts had an El Camino SS. It was bright orange with black stripes. I got to drive it home from the desert once. It was very fast ! I think it was older than the one you guys are cleaning up. The front end was different and it still had the round headlights.
There’s a Guy here in Fontana called Mike and owns a company called RARE El Camino. He has all kinds of hard to find parts for El Caminos and G body cars. And I mean everything.
What a excellent job clap👏 hopefully this will give them the motivation to get it back on the road.The g body chevy was my favorite purely because it takes me back to my child hood seeing the yellow cabs on films ect just a nice subtle shape not to over the top
My 1979 Conquista had bed rails, an extremely underpowered 305, and a 350 turbo transmission. It was silver over black and I acquired it in 1981. After it was t-boned it received an aluminum headed .060 over 454, with Pete Jackson gear drive, big cam, headers, modified trans, and still retained the original puny rear end. And FYI, the rear was coil springs
What an incredible video! ❤🎉 This was such a neat video. I'm so happy to see that the El Camino has begun the journey to getting back on the road. Getting the Detailing done by WD Detailing and mechanical input from the guys at CLE P&P will no doubt help Michael and his family get the El Camino going again. May your grandfather Rest in Peace and may his memory live on in the vehicle ❤❤❤
Hey, guys. I’m no expert on the Caminos, but my ‘69 Ford Ranchero is titled as a truck. Not sure why they did that as it is a unibody vehicle. Maybe because they were designed as a “goin’ta town” farm implement. Great stuff you guys do. Always a hoot to watch your banter!
SAVE THE GBODIES!!!! The most diverse platform in the history of cars. Great job on the clean up and kudos to the family working to get this thing back on the road.
The 350 was available in all trims of the El Camino, my grandpa had a bottom of the barrel base model with a 350, was a gorgeous car, burnt orange color I wanna say, loved that car
Heck yeah on the New Cleaning Line 🤛🤛🤛🤛 guys. Can’t wait to try them. All ready signed up for your news letter and created a log in. The El Camino came out absolutely beautiful. I even teared up at the end.
The El Camino Conquista was an exterior package option for the Chevrolet El Camino that included a bright molding package and a special two-toned paint. It highlighted the performance styling of the standard El Camino.
The "CONQUISTA" was specifically a trim package for all El Caminos of this era. The didn't come with bed rails or bucket seats by the factory unless it was a special order. It also presented the special two tone paint scheme. This one is a limited edition, because the Conquista didn't come with bumper guards either and had trim on the body.
Quite a conquest! 😉 Love the El Camino CAR, great product line, best of luck with that new aspect of the business. Oh, and, as always, thanks for the ASMR video.😊

No it is not. If that was the case the door would be much shorter.
@SlimWhittman the front is fenders, hood and such. Pending the year! Chevelle!

This is a valid point! But I can’t let Mike win. Its still a truck to me 😂 -RJ

Thank you, I still have the drawing of the vision on our whiteboard, I’ll have to show you guys next week! It came out better than I could’ve imagined

omg the reaction in the end is priceless
Thank you so much, we could never have made it here without viewers like you!
@WDDetailing awww thanks guys, I really appreciate it 💙
Great video and seems alot of memories for the family
Conquista was a package option for the El Camino. If I remember right, it came with custom colors and a bigger engine, I think the 350 and sport gauges.
350 engines were only available til 1982. Mostly went to police Malibus. This looks like a highly optioned Conquista. Only other option is also color matched 14” rally wheels.
This car is a jem of an old school truck good job everyone at the detail shop 😊
Thank you Timothy!! And it absolutely is, and it’ll be back on the road soon!
Just call it a UTE like the Aussies 😊 I like them all! Elcamino, Sprint, Ranchero. The Brat.
That's not the original engine. That's a GM crate motor. It must have been installed by his grandfather. It originally had a 305.
That’s what we ended up figuring! Nice to have our suspicions confirmed
Yep. At least 290hp with that motor. It looks like they kept everything intact, smog equipment and cruise control.
Exactly and you can easily tell by the Goodwrench sticker on the valve cover. Good motor though and she’ll get up and go pretty good.
@@Expatriate1977 those motors are solid. Can be easily rebuilt 3 times. Same cannot be said about a Tesla.
In Australia this type of car is very popular and is called a 'Ute' short for Utility vehicle, so you are both wrong - basically a vehicle type of its own with features of cars and trucks, so its a tie. Love the content guys.
The ol' school "El-Co"!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great job men! This is amazing! Got me shedding a tear as well. This is a wonderful story! I'll always support the amazing work you all do!
I have my Grandpa's truck. A 2000 Chevy 1500. I cleaned it up & went backroading. I miss him
Excellent results cleaning up the El Camino !
It looks like with maybe just a good tune-up it'll be on the road again.
Great reveal and reaction from the family ! 👍
You guys are the nicest people I ever seen like detail geek
That was a great tribute to their grandfather and a sweet El Camino… I’d say it’s a Ute, not a car or a truck but definitely a Ute.
Or as Adam from power and performance would say, it’s an EL CAMINO!!!!
The work you guys do is awesome,but the owner’s reaction ties it all together…….congrats on the product line!!!!….bringing these beautiful vehicles to shine brings back great memories.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

What a excellent job clap👏 hopefully this will give them the motivation to get it back on the road.The g body chevy was my favorite purely because it takes me back to my child hood seeing the yellow cabs on films ect just a nice subtle shape not to over the top
My 1979 Conquista had bed rails, an extremely underpowered 305, and a 350 turbo transmission. It was silver over black and I acquired it in 1981.
After it was t-boned it received an aluminum headed .060 over 454, with Pete Jackson gear drive, big cam, headers, modified trans, and still retained the original puny rear end.
And FYI, the rear was coil springs
What an incredible video! ❤🎉 This was such a neat video. I'm so happy to see that the El Camino has begun the journey to getting back on the road. Getting the Detailing done by WD Detailing and mechanical input from the guys at CLE P&P will no doubt help Michael and his family get the El Camino going again. May your grandfather Rest in Peace and may his memory live on in the vehicle ❤❤❤
GREAT JOB!!! I love how the EL Camino turned out!!! 😀👾❤
Congrats on the product line launch! The design on the bottles looks sick 🤘🏻
Hey, guys. I’m no expert on the Caminos, but my ‘69 Ford Ranchero is titled as a truck. Not sure why they did that as it is a unibody vehicle. Maybe because they were designed as a “goin’ta town” farm implement. Great stuff you guys do. Always a hoot to watch your banter!
SAVE THE GBODIES!!!! The most diverse platform in the history of cars. Great job on the clean up and kudos to the family working to get this thing back on the road.
I always look forward to Saturday! 👍
The 350 was available in all trims of the El Camino, my grandpa had a bottom of the barrel base model with a 350, was a gorgeous car, burnt orange color I wanna say, loved that car
Another amazing job, cleaning up that El Camino. You guys are amazing at what you do.
Nice to see how much u bring bk cars for people and u can see how much it means too them , great video lads
@WDDetailing - can the windscreen glass be polished to remove ice scratches?
You can, but it is very difficult and most of the time won’t give you the results you want
@WDDetailing ah that's unfortunate. Thanks for replying.
Beautiful family and legacy !!
Heck yeah on the New Cleaning Line 🤛🤛🤛🤛 guys. Can’t wait to try them. All ready signed up for your news letter and created a log in. The El Camino came out absolutely beautiful. I even teared up at the end.
Beatiful car guys! Congrats for the new line of products! Greetings from Uruguay!
The El Camino Conquista was an exterior package option for the Chevrolet El Camino that included a bright molding package and a special two-toned paint. It highlighted the performance styling of the standard El Camino.
I think you guys should get this running and driving
The "CONQUISTA" was specifically a trim package for all El Caminos of this era.
The didn't come with bed rails or bucket seats by the factory unless it was a special order.
It also presented the special two tone paint scheme.
This one is a limited edition, because the Conquista didn't come with bumper guards either and had trim on the body.
Quite a conquest! 😉
Love the El Camino CAR, great product line, best of luck with that new aspect of the business.
Oh, and, as always, thanks for the ASMR video.😊
I had a White 1984 with a 305. Great cars!
