Chevrolet El Camino Grille
The grille, or grill, refers to the opening in front of your vehicle that allows air to flow into the radiator, thus cooling the vehicle's engine and almost every other component under the hood. Aside from allowing air to flow inside the engine compartment, it also prevents a lot of harmful elements like water, road debris and bugs from damaging the various components beneath it, including the radiator, the turbo intercooler…

1978-1987 **NEW ITEM** Chevrolet El Camino or GMC Caballero Black rear curtain replacement wall panel. This easy to install hard panel gives you the same access as the curtain, but with the ability to mount speakers, subwoofers, or amps to it.

A great way to upgrade your el camino interior with a super quality product made in the USA. You may get it in a color for a $49.00 up charge.

Believe it or not, what we have here is a TRUCK that has been driven it's entire life by one classy lady. Even her husband didn't get to drive it until after she died five months ago. She bought the car mid-year, 1971, and it was her pride and joy for most of her life. She always took good care of the TRUCK and kept it nice and clean.

I took my Truck in to Chevrolet for Malfunctioning Speedometer. I was pulled over twice in last week by Police Radar. The Cops said I was going too FAST? I told them I was going posted Speed Limit. That GM Vehicles have a Known Instrument Cluster Problems. Chevrolet Customer Assistance said that My Highly Modified SSR does not meet criteria for a Repair. The Air Cleaner, Radiator Cooling Fan, Cherry Bomb Muffler & Firestone tires are not GM Or came with SSR. WTF? I bought these Items to replace malfunctioning GM Parts. I tried to get GM parts when I replaced them. NOTHING IS AVAILIBLE. OR WAIT 6 MONTHS FOR BACK ORDER? I am going to drive my Truck till it Burns up from all the Electrical Problems I am experiencing. I posted on Chevrolet sites on FACEBOOK. Boy did I hear about it. They don't understand & neither do I. Guess a Ford in my Future??

A slow start but left the door open too much dead battery. off to home depot to get a jump box.
Brought it home and left on the charger over night. All good. Then the rain came all damn day. A nice 390 mile road trip towing the vintage bikes. I was washed out of two events today.
Gave it a bath and put it away. A tank and a half of gas and 3 quarts of liquid gold.
1972 Elcamino with new suspension and brakes and it runs real strong.

Translated from the Spanish El Camino means "road". Two years of silence in GM were not in vain, introduced the model has broken all records, sales, and longevity. For 27 years the Chevrolet El Camino, along with his twin brother, GMC, descended from the conveyor 1,056,424 cars. While Ford Ranchero 508.000 copies published for 23 years.
Of course, for nearly 30 years, Chevrolet El Camino and the Ranchero has undergone many changes. For example, two years later, Ford began to produce based on the Ford Falcon, a General Motors two years later, all were removed from the El Camino model line. And Ford felt at ease for three years, and 63 of 1961.62. In 1964 he returned to the model, with little change in appearance, and translating the platform Chevrolet Chevelle . After a return to Ford Ranchero was back in the catching-up status. Have not caught up with Chevrolet to the end of the decade. Even in 1967, Ford spent updates are not able to change the situation. In the 1970s, the situation for Ford not only has not changed, but worse.
All due to launch in 1971 GMC Sprint Chevrolet El Camino double (for reference, in 1978 changed its name to Sprint Caballero). This tandem produced until 1988, after which it became clear that the market demand for these vehicles dried up and removed from the final production.
In 1973 he was awarded the peak of popularity for the Chevrolet El Camino. 64,987 customers have purchased this car in the statistics and Sprint added another 6,766. Given that the model has been created from ready units and did not require that any significant time and cost, the figure is better than might be imagined. For example, for the model 1959 used parts from a standard Chevy, BrookWood donated to the back and side, a Chevrolet Bel Air borrowed sidewalls, frame, suspension and chassis of the van.
Given such popularity is quite amusing to read about the concerns before the start of production of Chevrolet El Camino , "the potential market is limited to people with high income, living in California." The reality was much more attractive forecasts, buyers were people from Alaska to Florida with different income levels.
Despite the fact that the body is quite voluminous mainly cars in this class is not used for heavy work (lifting the floor of the truck in the 350 kg). Even the manufacturers do not hide the fact that these models are more for style than for the transport of goods. In the 1970s it was considered fashionable air conditioning, cassette player, and covered with vinyl roof. With the engine had no problems, a wide selection began relatively economical 6-cylinder 3.8-liter, V8 5.7 ended with a powerful l. which established three carburetors. Also, there was a choice of several options for transmission. Three-step and 4-speed manual gearbox and two versions of the machine, and Powerglide Turboglide.
The first generation of Chevrolet El Camino in 1959 cost about $ 2,500, while a simple pickup sold for $ 1950, and the average American salary was about $ 5000. For El Camino, was available the same options as in conventional cars. Combined color, power, luxury finishes, etc.Overpriced not scare the buyer in their debut year, circulation totaled 22,246 units. The main competitor Ford Ranchero sold a lot worse, 14.169 pieces.
the results have not managed to retain a year later, sales had fallen by 37%, selling 14,136 cars. After a sharp decline in GM decided that the Chevrolet El Camino in its original form can not exist. To be fair to say that Ford was faced with similar problems. And in short order was transferred to the platform Ranchero Ford Falcon (this was written above).
The difficulties for GM concluded that a suitable option for the new Chevrolet El Camino was a Corvair. Only Korveir also not suitable due to rear-engine layout. As a result of a three-year project is frozen.
That all changed with the advent of 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle , which is ideally suited for the updated El Camino. Despite the fact that the car is reduced in size, cargo compartment, even increased. Along with increased body volume and carrying capacity up to 550 kg. Price base model, after a small correction was 2267 $, Chevelle, along with the new Chevrolet El Caminoinstantly soared to the rank of sales. 36,615 units sold in its first year, it is more than double the Ranchero.
Over time, Chevelle overgrown different options, and with it the Chevrolet El Camino. One such option was the 6.5 liter Big Block (Big Block) with capacity of 375 hp A little later, in 1970 there was one, 7.4 liter, 450 horsepower BigBlok.
The popularity of Chevrolet El Camino was kept stable until the fuel crisis. Increased gasoline prices, increased insurance costs have borne fruit. Sales Muscle Car plummeted. Potential consumers are reached by a wave of negativity, do not rush to buy the El Camino. Although sales are still allowed to produce this model. Addition, the grandeur, and was not close. In the first half of the 80 sales was only slightly higher at 20,000. In 1978 he rolled off El Camino last generation, which was based on a platform of Malibu (Chevrolet Chevelle was removed from production in 1977). In the last generation it was impossible to see the Big Unit, and top-end engine was 5.7 liters Smoll Block. 1987 went down in history as the last year for an amazing Chevrolet El Camino. 

A Poem by Cindy Rose
An El Camino was outside my house
It never made a sound.
The smoothest ride in the neighborhood,
demure and not too proud.
I see you El Camino, looking slick, not past your prime
Makes me want to be behind the wheel, leave this all behind.
Get out from 'neath this grey storm cloud
An old man's angry veil
And drive into the sunset
With spirits setting sail.
Past the wildfires in my heart
Out of heats way
To the beauty of a cooler time
The darker night of day.
I see your colors red and white
I touch your bumpered chrome
Diamond, glittered, bright headlights
Steer me far from home.
El Camino, low and cool
Help me find my way
We'll drink Cervasa all the while
For Our Lady Guadelupe.
An El Camino was outside my house
It never made a sound
The smoothest ride in the neighborhood
Demure, and not too proud
I see you El Camino
Who is cruisin' who?
The girl who looks beyond the door
Or your driver with tattoos
El Camino, El Camino
