This used to belong to a body shop employee at Brown & Brown Chevrolet in Mesa Az. I have seen this several times. I had a '68 El Camino, but this is not for me.

I had a '71 El Camino but I've never been partial to the El Corvino, not attractive in the least.

That may be something to do with mine. I do need a small truck.

Well I for one missed it before,,,and I kinda like it! Looks to be pretty well done. Wouldn't want to hack mine up,,but if I had a bunch of cash and more room,,,I'd probably buy one!

It needs a camper top or at least a gun rack.

I like that!!

Now I can take the Vette to the beach and throw the surfboard in back (instead of taking my boring SUV)

The camper would be a sight to see!

Some part of me likes it... and the other is just plain wrong. Sport Utility Vette... interesting for sure!

This 'conversion' is obviously not for most of us, but I've seen many 'customized' Vettes that look much worse. I also have to say that the builders did a pretty darn good job.

And it's still way better than the Nissan Junk -- and they called the Aztec ugly!!

Yeah, Pontiac was gonna rebadge the Holden Ute. Maybe Chevrolet will rebadge since they recently refreshed their copyright to the El Camino name.
