| CHEVROLET EL CAMINO |
El Caminos can usually be found at car shows in the muscle car
category. Early models can be found as restored originals or hot rods
with modified engines, mag wheels and custom paint. Some are used in
various racing venues, and more can be spotted being used as daily
drivers.
The late 60s versions command the highest prices and inspire
the most replicas from Hot Wheels, Matchbox and Johnny Lightning. The Discovery Channel program Monster Garage once turned an El Camino into a Figure-8 racer (dubbed the "Hell-Camino"). The drift team Bubba Drift uses a 1986 El Camino as the only drifting truck.
