Camino LS6

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

I think I'm one of the few in the F-body crowd that actually likes that car. It was on Ebay a while back (I don't think it sold). That car started as a body-in -white, it has a cool story.

Nope, not VE.

WHOA! I never said Pontiac shouldn't have something along these lines, but it would have to be styled appropriately. I actually believe this kind of vehicle may be more appropriate now than ever before for Pontiac. (along with a sportwagon) Glad you enjoyed the thread sidetrack. :AH-HA_wink:

Well said!

Sorry XP, I'm just looking for some input right now. I'll respond about my reasoning at some point.

Corvette with engine by Falconer.

The conversion is very nice, it's a GSX with a bed. Interior is Buick as are the quarters, tailgate and taillights. It's much more than a Buick nose grafted onto an El Camino - great workmanship. I'd love to see it in person. That said, we should stop hijacking the Pontiac flavor of this thread,I guess.

Cool, huh?

1. Have you ever divested yourself of all,most, or many of your material possessions? 2. Have you ever made a complete shift in the direction of your life? Career, personal,social, or otherwise? Tell the story.

Yup. It's a sweetie

Someone say wagon? http://chevelle.candgunderground.com/image...ality_front.jpg

*sigh* I so want to be on the inside of GMNA's deliberations about this vehicle. Fly on the wall, enthusiast consultant, janitor... I don't care what my function would be, I just want in.

Great to hear! I wonder how many C&G alums will end up in the industry.

Surprisingly, I agree with you Razor. The '68 would have come off better with a GTO styled nose but I still don't think it worked terribly well. The later car(black and white pic) works very well for its time and I would have liked to see it in production. The full-size versions just don't have the same sporting nature that made the Chevelle-based El Camino so desirable, no matter the division building them.

I simply can't even pretend to care about this car, it is entirely invisible to me unlike the concept of the same name.

Wow! lots of interesting stuff here! I can shed a little more light on the El Camino thing. While I never heard of the '59 version, I know of the '66? full-size prototype and the late '70's/early '80's prototypes. I'll try to post the pics. A Pontiac dealer also built a '68 Lemans version from a brand new Lemans and a brand new El Camino in a bid to get PMD to offer a production version. Although that effort failed, I have seen printed articles that indicate this car led directly to the production of GMC's Sprint.

It's a tuner COPO Drawing a blank on which one just now (too much on my mind) Not Yenko Don't think it's Baldwin Motion Nickey?

Any updates,Josh? Just wondering how things are working out on this for you.

and on a more uplifting note... All my life's a circle sunrise and sundown The moon rolls through nightime 'til the daylight comes around All my life's a circle but I can't tell you why The seasons spinning 'round again the years keep rolling by... and I sleep and I dream of the person I might have been there I am free again And I speak like someone who's been to the highest peak and back again And I swear that my grass is greener than anyone's 'til I believe again Then I wake and the dream fades away and I face the day And I realize that there's got to be some hero in me...

I close my eyes only for a moment and the moment's gone All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity Dust in the wind Don't hang on nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away and all your money won't another minute buy Dust in the wind all we are is dust in the Wind Dust in the wind everything is dust in the wind also made me think of: I'm a melancholy man doing what I can All the world astounds me but my feet are on the ground...

The old notion of suburbs as relatively complete and independent communities has been largely supplanted by raging sprawl, at least in my corner of PA. It shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon and what I've always loved about this area is diminished by each new development and its attendent traffic. I have also been priced-out of buying a home in my own home town which ticks me off no end. Around here, people are buying perfectly sound homes for 500K and up and then promptly tearing them down to build McMansions. It makes me sick.

Freakin loudmouth politicians. They know nothing about cars.

You need to talk to your insurance company, like now.
