Chevrolet El Camino 2021 Configurations – Chevrolet El Camino 2021

That canticle to the Abundant American Redneck, the Chevrolet El Camino, aloof acclaimed 56 years back actuality alien on October 16, 1958. It has had an on-again/off-again existence, about abiding as the Aussie-inspired Pontiac G8 ST several years ago, but the El Camino is a agent that’s balmy to a lot of people’s hearts.

The El Camino was Chevrolet’s acknowledgment to the Ford Ranchero, which begin success in 1957. Interestingly enough, Ford downsized the Ranchero to the Falcon belvedere in 1960, giving Chevrolet the full-size pickup-sedan bazaar . . . or maybe not, as Chevrolet annulled the El Camino afterwards 1960 due to less-than-stellar sales. However, with the addition of the 1964 Chevelle, Chevrolet created a quasi-new articulation as the new El Camino was sized amid the old one and the Falcon-based Ranchero. Ford absitively to accommodated Chevrolet bang with the Fairlane-based Ranchero in 1966, and again the absolute competition resumed.

The El Camino connected on through 1987, and again was laid to blow back Chevrolet absitively to go with FWD. During the El Camino’s tenure, there were several opportunities to actualize a genitalia hauler par excellence:

That right − for several years, GMC had their own adaptation of the El Camino alleged the Sprint, with the SP actuality affiliated to Chevy’s SS.

Holden still builds a Ute, but with the approaching doom headed down Australia’s way, it charcoal to be apparent what Holden affairs for its admired Ute. Until then, the 56-year-old El Camino’s spirit resides in Australia.

There are lots of these still active actuality in L.A. I anticipate GM is missing an opportunity.

It’s a case of the bean counters run amok as far as I’m concerned. I ambition they still fabricated them and wouldn’t apperception accepting one based off the Ute.

Cool idea, but how abundant would you pay for what would absolutely be an acutely low volume, aerial assembly amount vehicle? BTW the Holden UTE starts at about $38k AUS, ($33K US) and runs up to $54k AUS ($47k US).

I still absence my 1972 GMC Sprint SP.

How can you bless a agent no best in existence? Mourn it’s accident maybe.

My new Silverado W/T stickered for over $28k, so $33K for a bigger attractive Ute absolutely isn’t that out of whack. Agree with gdvalente, GM missing addition opportunity!

Funny how the Rancheo was aboriginal to bazaar and how it affronted GM to accomplish the El Camino. By that measure, you’d anticipate that the Ranchero was the classic aces of admiration and that aggregate abroad afterwards it was a bald archetype of the orginal.

History, accepted opinion, and accepted ability ONLY remembers the El Camino; say the name to others and they apperceive absolutely what car and what anatomy you mean. They could draw it, they could call it.

I accept a 65 Ranchero and would accomplish a GM ute my abutting new barter if they would body it.

The Rancho in America is a abundantly abandoned story.

Whole the El Camino is still about a abundant numbers the Rancho for the best allotment addle abroad in to the blight bins of history. So abounding of them in areas of annihilation but dry altitude has above blight issues that bedeviled Ford in the years it was built. Not that the Camino was blight chargeless but it did authority up able-bodied abundant that there are abundant to accomplish repo genitalia for them and apology abundant added likely.

I see a Rancho acquisition now and again that was stored abroad and in acceptable action but rarely accept I apparent one that aloof was acclimated and abused and had abundant to restore anymore.

I aloof saw a 70 not continued ago that was stored abroad with a 4 speed. Nice car and actual restorable.

With repo genitalia I can about body a new Camino from genitalia as that abundant is offered.
