Here's a wild El Camino conversion:

The Buick Grand Camino

It fits very well together, actually, that face and the truck-bed.

That's a project I've always thought about doing, and I've seen pics of a few that were done.

Here's an Oldsamino

Here's a '66 GTO Camino 4X4:

I really like that Oldsamino!

El CaMonte:

....and a Vettecamino:

Pontiac:

CaminoLS6?....you are probably aware of the Canadian Pontiac Beaumont El Caminos?

I've seen one of these in person!

A few years ago, one was sitting for sale in Mt Morris IL. VERY COOL to see in person .

And, love the pics of the other variants, too ... he he he.

I'd love to see more pics of this one.

I'm trying to find more, but I can't! I know there is -- or once was -- an entire site on this conversion.. They even said it's a popular conversion in Europe. Grrrrr.

Ok...now I might have to backtrack....I'm trying to find info and there is virtually none...I may be mistaken. I'll check further. I was sure I'd seen them here.

I've posted the Eldomino before:

Sadly, I'm fairly sure that GM Canada didn't build any. My radar is tuned to such things and I've never heard anything about them being built. I have often wondered about the possibility though.

I'd love to be wrong. :AH-HA_wink:

Wow... those are all cool, some less attractive than others.

If I win the Lottery I'll get a rough 1959 Buick with a good nose

and rearrange the sheetmetal to make a Flower car. Then I'll

trade Balthazar the final product straight up for his Flathead

powered "Duel" style COE.

If you ignore the 4x4 part of this one, it's really amazing how well the '66 GTO nose works with the '68-72 Camino body. It took some welding/bodywork skills to do that. Those fenders are made from a combination of the Camino and GTO fenders grafted together. This isn't just a bolt-on.

Man! Do I love Phantoms!

Clones suck, but Phantoms really do it for me.

I remember seeing one that's based on the pre-refreshed current gen Monte Carlo...

When I was 13 or so, I saw a flower car based off a '95 Cirrus. I thought I was seeing things.

I can't seem to find it right now, but I remember seeing a concept El Camino (possibly not by GM directly) based on the 00-05 Impala.

The Heritage Center had this on display last week, i got a ton of pics.....

I heard of this too, it was seen around the Tech Center around Autoshow time...... I guess it was wishful thinking to see it there.

Thanks for the pics! I love that car, I want it if it ever goes up for auction.

The FWD Impala/Camino and the FWD Monte/Camino were both SEMA cars not GM cars. The MC version was on ebay recently (no buyer).

It's great to see all you pickup car fans....I love them.

Some of these I've probably posted before:

Cadillac Seville Pickup:

I like the imagery of this ad. The ranch. You of course need a pickup car to do chores!

i remember seeing that grand camino in GM High Tech Performance a few months back...

in my area theres an el camino with a GTO/Judge nose on it, and it looks great

The Heritage Center had this on display last week, i got a ton of pics.....

Sweet ... that had to have been cool to see in person! Thanks for sharing the pics.

And, sorry didn't meet you while I was in Detroit a week ago Sunday.
