Do you find the typical 3rd Gen Camaro IROC-Z to not be enough of a mullet for you? That’s not a problem when you’ve got a hacksaw and a few cans of Herculiner. A few Coors light fueled nights later and you’ve got the ultimate combination of Camaro and Camino. The El Camero. Find this […]
The fifth and final generation of Chevrolet’s El Camino was built from 1982 through 1987. And I can’t imagine one single reason why Chevy hasn’t resurrected the El Camino name/shape/style in the 21st century of retro-crap we see littering showrooms. But I don’t see any reason you shouldn’t own a few 80s El Caminos with […]
The Dodge Charger was not available as a pickup truck…and Dodge hadn’t offered a small pickup since the Dodge Rampage and Plymouth Scamp of 1982-1984, apart from the Dodge Dakota which was more mid-sized than anything. Anyway, Dodge doesn’t make a car based pickup, so you’ll need to pull out your trusty hacksaw if you […]
The Volkswagen Jetta is the perfect car to customize into a Ute or El Camino. Firstly, from a mechanical perspective, it has front wheel drive, which means all of the important stuff happens in the front half of the car, so the back is just there hanging around like half of a giant skateboard. Next, […]
Everyone is asking why gasoline prices are so high, and the answer is right in front of us. The change from basic OPEC to OPEC+ is costing too much per month because it is a premium service…so gas costs more. But I’ve got a solution for that. It is a BMW El Camino+. Yes. A […]
At first glance this next car looks like some kind of hacksaw custom, which isn’t a problem, but the seller says it was originally a “flower car.” If you aren’t familiar with the cars of the funeral industry, this is a hearse with an open top, so that it can carry flowers or a casket […]
It was a strange world of coincidences when this next car came across the DT tips box. I was in Hawai’i on vacation when tipper Cory sent in this next beauty, which I would have loved to visit in person if I was on the same island, but alas my snorkeling skills aren’t strong enough […]
In these strange times of global conflict and economic uncertainty, people need heroes. No, not those idiots in tights from Marvel or DC, no not at all. The hero we are looking for is the builder of custom El Caminoized things all of all kinds. Like this next thing, which is a Mercedes-Benz W123 chassis […]
The Type 3 was a compact offering from Volkswagen that was sold from 1961 through 1973 in Notchback, Fastback, Squareback, and Sedan Delivery (like a wagon, but no windows) variants. Volkswagen never sold a pickup truck version (the Caddy pickup didn’t arrive until the 1979 Rabbit/Golf platform) but that didn’t stop this next builder from […]
If you take a Jeep Grand Cherokee and turn it into a pickup, does that make it a Rubichero or an El Cherokamino? That should be a hypothetical question I am asking, but no, this is a real thing, complete with Hemi power and a functioning tailgate. The strangest part of the entire car is […]
