Well, waddya waitin' fer? I see some white stuff there, PLOW IT!

[Camino LS6]

I don't think that would be too effective.

[David]

Very sweet setup.

[Robert Hall]

Nice...just need some 'Mr Plow' decals for the doors and you are ready for the winter...

[Camino LS6]

Yeah, I think it's going to work out ok.

Right now, one final electrical gremlin is being sorted out - should be good to go tomorrow.

[Camino LS6]

Ummm.... no

[Drew Dowdell]

I have some Cheers and Gears door magnets I can send you.

Will they get me past security at auto shows and GM facilities?

[z28luvr01]

Well if they don't you have a plow to push them out of the way.

Autoshows just require credentialing from me.

[A Horse With No Name]

Love it!

[BigPontiac]

Nice!

So what's the plan next? Sell Green, then do what with the proceeds? What becomes of ROPOS?

[Camino LS6]

Both Green and ROPOS go on the block.

Bills get paid.

And just maybe, the wagon gets some attention.

Sounds like a good plan!

[Robert Hall]

I don't recall, which truck was ROPOS? Was that the '80s Chevy crew cab?

No, the '89 Chevy reg cab with the plow.

I see a nice El Camino in your future.

[Camino LS6]

You guys are evil.

That one that Balthy posted is a '72, not a '71 as listed. It always bugs me when sellers know so little about a car they are selling that they get the year wrong.

No, I won't be buying another Camino just now.

Why doesn't stuff like this pop up around here? Nice!

Red is looking good....

[ocnblu]

There's a gray '73 Laguna coupe in the back yard at (hopefully) my new place of employment. Haven't had a chance to look at it up close, but it appears in good condition from a perspective of longing.

Let us know when you nail your new employement! Good Luck and make sure to snap a pic or two.

Here you go Camino, why keep that big gas guzzler when you can have this, the answer to all your plowing needs...

^ What was that, and how is it currently 'powered'?

[Camino LS6]

According to the posts on facebook, it was a Fiat.

As for power... Briggs and Stratton?

I think I'll stick with the Tahoe.

[Robert Hall]

Looks like a Fiat 126 that's been cut & shut..I guess the operator entered through the rear hatch..

[balthazar]

Yea, that looks like it. No stylistic loss, that's for sure.

Radically-proportioned vehicles (here: micro-mini) do intrique me.

[Delta Force79]

If I'm not mistaken I believe the Fiat 126 was the basis of the Yugo as well. I didn't bother reading the info on the car, I just posted the pic cause I thought of Camino when I saw it, but my initial thought was that it was possibly a Yugo, so I guess I wasn't that far off.

Close..the Yugo was based on the Fiat 127...the 126 was rear engined, the 127 front engine/fwd.

I see, I admit I'm not too well informed when it comes to Fiat, though my father did own a couple many years ago. He had an early 70's Fiat Spyder which was wrecked in a rear end accident while on a date with my mother. The second was a Fiat 131 I believe which he had when I was very young, and it was a total lemon. Eventually he just left it on the side of the road one day and that was that. It wasn't even 10 years old at that point.
