#1980 el camino upgrade
This El Camino has a whopping 400Cu Inch V8 residing under the hood and it has been made sure that all the right upgrades have been taken care of from the air conditioning and disc upgrade right down to the new blushing red paint. With the same beautiful styling as Chevrolet’s Chevelle this El Camino offers more than a coupe could with the full-size truck bed in the back used for many purposes and easier access than your standard pickup. The El Camino may not have been the first “coupe utility” offered to consumers but it defiantly is the most recognisable and sought after.
