We’ve featured a few Eldorado El Caminos in the past, but none with DIAMOND PLATE bedsides before. And as the ancient mariners used to say in their morning routine: Diamond plate plus El Camino will conquer the world. Let’s conquer something things. Find this 1976 Cadillac Eldorado offered for $17,750 make-offer or buy-it-now located in […]
From 1972 through 1997, you could get a tarted up Jaguar XJ6 sold as a Daimler and either a simple Sovereign name for the inline-6 or the lofty Double-Six name for the V12. It is a strange car to find out in the wild, but not quite as strange as this 6-wheeled Purple Thunder El […]
I love it when I’m proven right. It might take months, years or decades…but when I told everyone that the final state of all motorized vehicles is the El Camino they all laughed and me and said “Sir, this is a Wendy’s drive thru.” Well, who is laughing now? In case you don’t know, there […]
People fall into two buckets — those who love custom El Caminos and those who haven’t yet fallen in love with them. Custom El Caminos also fall into two buckets — the first is those which use diamond plate in the bed, and the second is those who have yet to install diamond plate. So […]
For those who aren’t 70’s crap-can savants, the Mercury Bobcat (yes, this is a Bobcat, not a Cougar) was a rebadged version of the Ford Pinto and sold from 1975 to 1980. The Pinto/Bobcat was designed as a domestic competitor to cheap imports (Corolla, B210, Beetle), and was known to fall apart faster than an […]
The Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle is a polarizing piece of automotive history. There are many who laud its long production run and basic ruggedness…while others decry its lack of features and comical proportions and questionable origins. However, if you rebody that Type 1 with something Beachy…suddenly the critics are decidedly less vociferous. And what if […]
Yes. The Subaru WRX STi was this fantastic rally machine that is sublime to drive on or off road. But how could you haul home the furniture you find on the side of the road. Or a side of beef. The trunk on the STi was small and the rear seats didn’t fold down (something […]
A wise man once told me that there is no bad way to create a custom El Camino from a Dodge and I have to agree. Something about Dodge’s ZeroFsGiven Styling (TM) that really lends itself to the sport mullet know as the El Camino. Business up front, party in the back. This next custom […]
The other day my doctor told me that I needed more El Caminos in my diet…and I said what? He tried again and said that I needed more amino acids in my diet and that I probably needed a hearing aid. So I immediately went home and started searching the internet for El Caminos on […]
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 […]
