Chevrolet EL CAMINO

The register lists here 51 versions with six- and eight-cylinder engines, displacements of 3,270 to 7,440 cm³, outputs of 81.5 to 227 kW, unladen weights of 1,450 to 2,010 kg and gross weights of 1,760 to 3,500 kg; for part of the models, lengths of 5,020 to 5,360 mm are also recorded.

The El Camino was Chevrolet's answer to the Ford Ranchero, combining a pick-up's payload with a coupe body's driving dynamics; today it is sought above all by American-classic-car collectors, while the commercial registration in Europe has tax reasons.

On a used example, rust on the wings, load bed and frame – a known weak point of the range –, the condition of the carburettor or early fuel injection, the automatic transmission and rear axle, on the SS models the originality of engine and equipment, and the parts supply, which is well organised through the specialist American-classic-car trade, all count.
