- It's a bird! It's a truck! It's a car! --it's the Chevy El Camino!
Taking cues from the Ford Ranchero, Chevy rolled out the El Camino in 1964. Through it's history, it's died, been reborn, lived as a confused truck car hybrid, grown into a burnout + drag machine muscle car, but all the while it has captured our attention as one of the most unique American cars of all time.

I have a 72 El Camino, it's been my daily driver for over 8 years. Before that, I owned an 86 El Camino, and my first car was a 73 El Camino. These cars are the BEST! Incredibly underrated!
@mike tyson easy to fix and maintain
@Duff's Vids the whole bench slides back as a whole. Unless you swap it out with individual seats
Do you have a mollet?
Hey! I have an '86 also!
I got the '86 El Camino Conquista 305ci, 4bbl
I daily drive an El Camino and I can confirm when I have kids I'm going to leave them.
Hahahah
I too daily drive my mino
Me too. My 87 has 731,000 miles and still going strong.
Henry Koenig lol
Same here brother, glad theres a place for us El Camino owners to discuss our family goals
I was in a walmart parking lot eating mcdonalds with my girlfriend and she says "that car is ugly" and I wasn't paying attention so I'm just like "mhm babe" then a few minutes later I saw a beautiful '69 El Camino and I'm like holy fuck that's beautiful and long story short we're not dating anymore.
As you should
Good
I’d rather have an el Camino than a gf lol
@@DAZUNIVERSALINDUSTREIS fuckin facts
Loads of my friends don’t like the Ute body shape. I personally think it rocks.

A 1968-72 El Camino is my absolute dream car. One day I'll have one!!
I also want one chevelles cost way too much
@@Samuel.C428 , here are some fun facts for you to know in your life. The options for the Chevrolet Chevelle also fit perfectly on the Chevrolet El Camino. Moreover, there was also an SS option for the Chevrolet El Camino as well, as my ex-stepfather owned one such vehicle (well, he also had a 1972 Chevrolet Nova SS, but I was talking about the vehicles that were built upon the Chevrolet Chevelle/Malibu platform). Finally, if neither a Chevrolet Chevelle SS or Chevrolet El Camino SS are affordable enough for you, then you can get the highly underrated Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, which was only available from 1970 to 1972, and only 1970 had the same power plant as one of the most powerful forms of the Chevrolet Chevelle in the SS 454 form, or the even more underrated Chevrolet Biscayne, which had all sorts of crazy power options, including access to, as well as full compatibility with, the most powerful engines of the Chevrolet Malibu/Chevelle line, including the same 6.5 liter, and 396 cubic inch, engine that powered the Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396, the same 7.0 liter, and 427 cubic inch, engine that powered the Chevrolet Chevelle SS COPO 427 and Yenko (Chevrolet) Chevelle L72 427/425 HP, and the same 7.4 liter, and 454 cubic inch, engine that powered the Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 LS6.
Monte Carlos ain't bad but I think the Biscayne is really underrated I haven't even heard of it.and if I get an el Camino with the L's 454 ,then I'm gonna buy a chevelle body and restore it.anyway you know Chevy muscle cars better than me.great job!
You will i own 2. A 69 and 66, im 28 yoa
Best years of design in all GM products.
*_EXTRA ELKY FACTS:_*
-GMC made a sister car called the Sprint, later called the Caballero. The "SS" equivalent was the "Sprint SP" and the Black/Royal Knight equivalent was the "Caballero Diablo."
-Choo-Choo Customs Inc., of Chattanooga, Tennessee made their own "El Camino SS" package from '83 to '87 by giving the Elco the aerodynamic front fascia of the Monte Carlo SS, a medium length bolt-on cowl induction hood scoop, and in many cases special side skirts.
-In 2008, Pontiac released for public viewing what they called the "G8 ST" (ST meaning Sport Truck) based on the Holden Ute. It was slated for a 2010 model year release, but was halted due to budget cuts and the eventual death of Pontiac. This would have been GM's first U.S.-sold utility coupe since the El Camino's retirement in 1987 (with the death of the G-body platform) and it could have meant the possible return of the El Camino.
Please upvote this info!
Sketchy oh yeah, I live in Chattanooga but I've never even seen one
Every once in a while an owner will pop up on GBodyForum. In my opinion, they look fantastic.
Pontiac actually made a test car based on the el Camino and its somewhere in Detroit now I believe
My stepfather has a GMC Sprint. I believe it's a 77. It was the first car I was allowed to drive as a 16 year old until I got my own car the next year. He's actually restoring it now, after it sat in a barn for 20+ years.
I had a neighbor who owned a 70’ SS El Camino with the 454. His son, my best friend often got to borrow it to cruise the town. That car/truck was spectacular to look at. It was no slouch in the 1/4 either. If I remember correctly it would run in the low 13’s.
If I remember correctly, anything back then that stock and ran was less than 15 was considered impressive
My family owned a 73 el Camino as a kid. Sold it around 2000 to my high school janitor, super nice guy. He loved the hell out of it. My dad said there was so much wrong with it that it wasn’t worth fixing and it was parked for most of my life by then. My high school janitor changed the battery and drove it around. Thanks dad! 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah come check out the el Camino on our channel tell us what you think
Went to HS around the same time and our janitor had one as well. Loved driving it on the various sports fields while taking out the trash or fertilizing
Yeah, I knw how you feel. My Dad had the money. But, he didn't help me to pay for any repairs. He would put me down. Discourage me from even putting a wrench to it. Thanks Dad, for ruining my self esteem and confidence.
I know nothing about cars. I've never raced a car. I don't own one and I don't think I will for a while (I live in NYC). Despite all of this, I cannot get enough of this video series. The enthusiasm is fucking infectious. Keep 'em coming.
Glad to be of service
This series is terrific
Thanks!
I love it
Absolutely, love it as well
Agreed. We need more !!!!!
Tommy Lee it’s fuckin hilarious too lol
My dad has owned at least 4 El Caminos in his lifetime. One of my goals in life is to be able to buy him another one
Good man right here 🙏
How much do they go for?
When my father passed away he left me and my brother 79 Royal Knight. We used to watch him drag race with it when we were kids, and he would almost always win! Most beautiful and powerful mullet ever! Slowly restoring it back to how he always wanted it, can't wait to hear it start back up again!
"Went from hauling hay to hauling ass" 🤣🤣 my new quote for old cars
I was rolling when he said that 😂
El Camino is Spanish for 'the Camino'

woooosh

Today on: dumbass couldn't even be fucked to use Google translate for the word "Camino"
I’ve wanted an ElCo since I can remember. Finally found my soulmate in a 68. So beautiful. Rebuilding the 350 now.
Update??
I have a 70 el camino and my dad has a 67 ford fairlane ranchero
Nice have yall ever race then against each other? C'mon man you have to upload some videos of both of them together
@@chinohuerta1718 hell yeah bro
@Art Lira, my ex-stepfather had a 1969 Chevrolet El Camino SS (it may have been a 1968 Chevrolet El Camino SS, but I could not tell at the time), but it was black and it was horribly besieged by rust, but he was too poor/lazy/drunk/stupid/drugged up to ever properly fix it, or his 1955 Chevrolet Apache, 1967 Chevrolet C-10, 1968 GMC C/K 1500 Longhorn, 1972 Chevrolet Nova SS, or his 1964 Dodge Polara Max Wedge for that matter. My sisters also owned some sweet rides, as did my mother, in their cases, a 1975 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, a 1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro, and a 1978 Plymouth Volare (coupe version, the trim that was below the Road Runner trim) for the oldest sister, a 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 and a 2005 Nissan 350 Z for the younger sister, and a 1967 Ford Bronco (before I was born), 1967 Chevrolet Malibu station wagon/estate car/shooting brake (I think, and also before I was born), a 1976 Chevrolet Caprice Estate station wagon/estate car/shooting brake, a 1978 Datsun 510/Datsun 1300/Datsun 1500/Datsun 1600/Datsun Bluebird/Nissan Bluebird station wagon/estate car/shooting brake, a 1980 Volvo 260 Estate station wagon/estate car/shooting brake, a 1977 AMC Concorde (which is essentially a four door version of the underrated 1970-1977 AMC Hornet), and a 1980 Dodge Aspen (sedan/saloon version) was what my mother owned, respectively. A neighbor of mine in the middle 1990s had a 1972 Ford Ranchero GT.
@@paxhumana2015 wow, you REALLY know your familiy's cars history

This video is about to get so many views because of the breaking bad movie
I'm just here to see if they mention utes.
yeah!
You’re not wrong. I got a sudden interest in this car after watching the film
I own a 1981 El Camino

Incredible (if true)
Yes, I've screwed in an El Camino... it was glorious
How tf did you do that
Like a fucking boss is how
@@rgerry9 the bench seats are incredibly roomy. Plus, theres a whole bed back there!
That bed was the shit.. throw enough old pillows back there, then, lay a big enough tarp un the back... fill with water and BOOM!, CHEVY HOT TUB GREAT FOR BUMPUNG UGLIES LOL
I’m jealous
My dad owned and still owns an 83 SS El Camino. That was an awesome car to grow up with. We towed a 26ft camper with it, dad took the glass off the back and put a camper shell on it for long road trips so the kids could relax in the bed of the truck, it toasted every mustang, camaro, charger, new or old that tried to beat it from a light. It was freakin perfect. One of these days I'm going to pull it out of his garage and get it running again.
he's so calm in this video compared to his others

Easily my favorite part of this entire video. 🤣
You can do a video about the fucking prius and I'd watch it. This series is amazing
Bharath Shankar save it for April fools
Weirdly enough I think I would watch it too xD
“The prius wasnt a bad idea, but since pretentious jerks drive it, al the respect for the car was gone. Just like my dad”
DO NOT SAY CUSS WORDS. THOSE ARE EVIL
My first car was an El Camino that my parent still own. I have an 85 Caballero and a 70 SS 454. I look forward to the idea of bringing it back into production. Honestly I can't wait.
I have a 1970 454 SS El Camino and I love driving it. It is comfortable and It pin's my ass to the seat when I touch the pedal. I highly recommend buying one if you can. Great video I would like to see more on the El Camino. Thank you.
"I'm not HOLDEN my breath "
UTE be surprise what may be out there
I read this in Randy Savage's voice.
They're dead now too
+5W4994N, they gonna manufacture them at all anywhere?
99bimmer Holden died in the 80’s when they stopped making kingswoods
Chevy still makes an El Camino. Its sold in Australia as a Holden Ute, and you can get one with a 6.2L LS3
i-Spec
It's A *Holden* the Aussies made and invented the UTE the GTO and the G8 and the Chevy SS were based on the Holden Commadores and because Holden is under GM they had to sell the car overseas but it's a rebadged Holden, only thing Chevy is the LS motor other than that the car is full Holden and Aussie, the Maloo is not a Chevy it's a Holden.
in South Africa we have the same thing only its still under the Chevy Brand and its called a Lumina SS. it also comes in sedan form
I guess your right but it's called a Maloo
theres a (Holden SS Ute) which is basically your Chevy SS ute, then theres the performance like the Pontaic G8 which is the Holden HSV Ute called the Maloo
Calling the Maloo a Chevy is like calling an Audi S8 a Lamborghini.
I have a 1978 El Camino. I've had it for over 6 years now, and it's been my daily since. I love that thing!
I have had an 87 for about 11 years and I'm finally getting to start restoring it they are great cars and I fully intend to hold onto mine as long as possible
1969 is Baeeeee 😍
You are beautiful as well, @Day1 Million. Is the person that is in your profile picture the real life you?
Did u know baeeeee actually means poop stupid
Pax simp
Naw love 79 is the year
@@paxhumana2015 simp
If you want a modern El Camino, go to Australia. For example, the Holden Maloo. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the highest performance model has an LS in it.
LSA supercharged yep
David Hill rip Holden
David Hill NOOOOOO!!!! I love Holden. They made my favorite car, the G8.
IAmDennyP gm made that
Nick Buckingham Holden made it. Pontiac reskinned it. Originally it is a HOLDEN Commodore.
My first car was an 83 caballero, El Camino woth GMC badging essentially, still have it, it's having some issues but nothing a bit of TLC can't fix. Can't wait to get it back on the road
Just bought my first classic yesterday. 71 El Camino SS. Excited to learn all about it!!
The El Camino is a strange one but deserves respect as something American and special, a vehicle that is loved by so many different types of characters from the world of car enthusiast.
Chevy would have no problem bringing back the El Camino if Holden was not getting the axe this year. RIP
Alexander Ford u
Its not dead, they just arent gonna be made in au anymore (now made it china)0
same difference you get what i mean they're still being made.
F2 Garage wait what
I got an 81 el camino and I absolutely love it I have no regrets on buying it it's fast has some pretty slick looks and yes I have used it at a truck hauling engines around from shop to shop.
Wish I had a ‘71 but my ‘79 ss is still really fun to drive. Definitely 100% can confirm that the El Camino is one of the best muscle “trucks” out there.
Keep these series coming these are amazing

This is amazing footage! Great, vids. I actually pay attention and learn something. The mix of information and comedy is pure GOLD! Keep it up and this girl is gonna tune in and tune up!
My first car, in 1987, was a 1969 Chevy El Camino. My dad and I dropped a 350 cu. in. engine in it with a Rochester 4-barrel. Everything was stock...except for the glasspack muffler that made it sounds even more badass than it already was! I won my fair share of races in that car, and many teen girls took rides with me when we cruised the strip in my high school years! Teens today have no idea how fun that was.
Just import Holden commodore ute chassis and assemble them here and change to fascia to match the aesthetics of the Camaro
I wish
Import them from where?
@@seandenby2304 Australia
Australia is no longer manufacturing cars including Holden's..
@@jason.c2441 and where in Aus is making them?
I like how your answer to them bringing back the ElCo was, “I’m not Holden my breath”. I c what you did there.
I love my 79 Royal Knight. I get many compliments and thumbs up when I take it out cruising.
I've had a 1964 El Camino about 45 years it's in the process of being refurbished it's my baby, I've had lots of classics but! I keep the El Camino!!
78 elky was my first car back in 2002. After being around the ring a bit, looking at getting another one and putting a modern engine like the LFX in it. They're truly great machines!
DO THE NEXT IMPREZA PLZ
1986 El Camino SS Choo-choo --2" front spindle drop,big tires, tailgate welded, Corvette taillights.love it.
One of my favorite muscle cars my grandpa owned a baby blue 1970’s ss.
do the subaru impreza already!!
Ifkr
Seriously do it nobody asked for the EL CO
It's coming I promise!
not to say i am complaining about this one! this is my favorite series!
kris jones where tf is the wrx 😤
The El Camino SS seems pretty cool. I would take a muscle car with a 7.4L V8 with basically the same output as a new Raptor. Not to mention the classic styling and the old style sound that it had.
Freaking hilarious! Laughed so hard I had hot coffee dripping from my nose! (Yeah, thanks for that by the way 😤) Of course I’m subscribing!!!🥰
Just inherited a ‘66 El Camino, excited to it on the road this year
Please do the Chevelle...
John Skinner I want them to do the Chevelle too. I have a 1970 ss 396
Bryson Shirley nice haha
Chevelle is a trim for the malibu. So it would be a malibu video
Chrisdidwht 91 I have a 77 Malibu Classic
Watched it already?
I have a G body el Camino and will never sell it.
Alonzo 1219 THE U FAMILY because nobody will buy it! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH. im just kidding.
Got a '74, get too many funny looks to stop driving it
I had a 83 but the body was in such bad condition I had to sell it because it was turning into a money pit real fast
That's what happened to my 86 caprice. Loved that cushiony car, but the frame was paper
Same, 2 years back I was 13 looking for an El Camino. Ended up missing a eBay offer for a 78 that was a roller and had it's paint and interior redone. I ended up missing it but then about 15 miles away I found an 82 with a 355 small block and th350 transmission. Ended up getting it for 1300 running and driving. Ended up having no rust but the interior needed to be redone so we ended up doing it in black and are currently saving up to repaint it.
I have a 82 El Camino, my grandparents gave it to me as a graduation gift this year, it’s not in driving state just yet but I plan on fixing it up, it’s gonna be epic when I fix her up, I can’t wait
I just got my grandpas 77 and while its not the most desired el camino it was my grandpas and I love it. Also very fun to drive
My Name is Earl. That is all.
Didn't they have a Subaru Brat?
That why I fell in love with this car, earl.
Joy had a Brat. Earl had the El Camino.
Yeehaw
and then later on randy got a ranchero
My first car was a 1979 Royal Knight. It was actually a trim package for the SS. It had the 350/350 tow package and a 10 bolt posi rear. I loved that thing. Drifty too.
I have a 1986 el Camino and it’s nice to hear some praise about the beautiful beasts
When I was in high school the el Camino was my first car. I actually had an 86 GMC Cabellaro which was just an el Camino body with a GMC engine. I freaking loved that car more than anything and would even still be driving it if I wasn’t rear ended. One day I will definitely get a 70’s 454 model el Camino and be back on the road again with those beauty’s. Such a great muscle truck. 😛
Do the M3.
For gods sakes you have an E46 in the background of every video.
Garrett Jenkins was bout to say that 😂
I'm dead 😂 you beat me to it. It's about time they did it
I’ve been saying it for like 3 vids now. They need to do it already.
Reliicx H right? Mine has the original S54 in it and it still runs like a dream, granted I never winter drive it though.
Garrett Jenkins I know nothing about BMW and I'd also like to see it happen.
Do a Holden Commodore Up To Speed please? For us Australian viewers
Henry Ryan yeah we need it now rip Holden
But I'm an Aussie and I don't want it, I see Commodores day in, day out, I want to learn about interesting cars that I rarely get to see not the most common vehicle on the road.
Quake so people who dont know about our cars can learn about them
You mean like how someone might want to learn about a rare car? If they do the Commodore I'd see it as nothing more than either a little tribute or the beginning of the end for this series, a sign that we're running out of cool and interesting cars. And why the Commodore when there is a more interesting and sportier variant in the Monaro? That would make more sense and be more interesting, how often do you see a Monaro compared to how often you see a Commodore?
well actual i said holdens All of them not just commodore
Going to correct you on the SS, the SS appeared in 1968. Body was same styling as the '69, one difference is the reverse lights were in the bumper in '68 and in the tailgate on '69. My first car was a '68 SS El Camino, I still think it's the BEST looking El Camino ever produced.
Just watched this video and I wish I did sooner. Bough a 84 El Camino as my first car in high school back in 2012. Was the only sophomore who had a car and no license. Still miss that car
I've been binge watching all these episodes the past few days 😂 I love everything about how they are done and you are a funny ass host James. I was hoping there could be a Lexus IS F, GS, RC F and LFA episodes? Gracias
If you observe, you'll know that this is the first proper video where james starts to yell.
El Camino broke his sanity, and brought out his inner loud shouty mental alter ego. Not even surprised :)
Yep... Noted... Found the vid
So James discovered cocaine sometime between this video, and the previous episode
I was really hoping this would have more info on which engines needed tuning, common problems with El Caminos that caused breakdowns, or transmissions that needed upgrades/replacements to stay on the road.
These cars are 30+ years old 🤷🏾♂️ and have been through several owners. Tuning engines? Small block Chevys have all of the information you'd need.
We got a 1966 with shiny black paint with a 396 in it and godDAMN it sounds beautiful. Its got the right amount of v8 rumble, but its not over aggressive, it sounds just like an old school dirt stock car.
Next subaru impreza

I got a 73 Elky SS with a 454 engine, and it of course was somewhat detuned for less emissions, but I hear that all that LS5 big block Chevy needs is a higher lobe cam shaft to give it more horses and more torque. The 1970 El Camino SS had an LS6 big block and had a cam shaft with higher lobes, which is probably the cam shaft I would want for my 73 LS5 big block, but I don't know that for sure, still researching that. All I can say is that I love that 73 of mine, it's the biggest and heaviest one that Chevy ever built. What a ride!
Back in the early 80's my friend, Rick, had a "68" SS 396 Elc hot rod with an Edelbrock intake, Holley 4 barrel, Hooker headers, glass packs and a 12 bolt pozi rear end. Red with the black vinyl top. Rick later built a "32 roadster with a chevy 427. Rick now owns the John Milner "32 Coup from the movie American Graffiti.

I picked up an '86 Elco Conquista out of a lady's driveway for $2500 about 3 months ago. So far it's been a great fair weather daily, and I'm looking forward to hopping it way up.
My first vehicle after I was 16 was a 76 el Camino. It was a beautiful machine and I hope to be able to buy it back one day
Mine 2 hopefully can get again very very very low low income tho.
I was able to get a hold of my Tio's El Camino which was a 82 model but me and my pops gotta fix it up

Just got my 78 el Camino ss a couple days ago an I gotta say it’s way better then I thought
I’m 16 and bought a 79 elco. Right now I have it on center line 15s but I have some supreme 14s I’m putting on it when I get tires. I enjoy the car cause I can use it as a low rider or a truck

If you can get a two door truck to hold a full sheet of drywall or plywood, and then make it a car, there's a frickin' market for this, Chevy/Ford! Think about it, lower ground height and smoother areo, with fuel efficient engines, can be dreams of the jobsites again.
Tj RC83 cough Australia Cough
Not spacious, comfortable or really safe, they are a thing in Mexico and I wouldn't buy one, ever
Ford, Chevy and dodge all make long box 2wd reg cab trucks that haul way more than a truck car . there’s no market for it. Holden and au Ford couldn’t keep them in production either
@@theicedman you are talking about the US and top countries where people can afford everything, this would be aimed for developing or sub developed countries in a budget lol, not everyone can get a F350 with credit
Imagine Chevy Ford and Dodge 1500 pickup long bed but with a lowered roofline , about an inch more ride height than a car, and a air leveling system in the back. And lower the bed walls a notch to make it easy to reach over. I’d buy it.
However, two door pickups aren’t a thing unless you’re a fleet or a dealer is willing to hand you an order form.
Literally my favorite car of all time, no contest. A 1980 el camino will be my dream car till I die.
I have a 1980 elco 😎

It's been a lifetime goal of mine to own a 1970 El Camino. I would love to any year but that's the one that I love the most.
My favorites are probably the 59-60, but the ones more common that I’m after are from 64-67, personally although 1970 is one hell of a year for the el Camino too
