1980 GMC Caballero
Car History
GMC's Caballero was a version of Chevrolets El Camino which is a
vehicle that is both a comfy sedan and a versatile pickup. GMC
added extra features and styling that makes it a little different
look compared to an El Camino.
We have a Dark Saxony Green 1980 GMC Caballero Diablo here at
Adventure Classics that is a great example of those vehicles and
has been well maintained.
Engine & Drivetrain
The largest motor available from the factory in 1980 was a 305
cubic inch V8 engine and that is what is in ours, but it has been
modified and makes a lot more horsepower now as well as looking
more muscular too with a three-speed automatic transmission
handling the power.
The extra power and torque of the upgraded engine is because of the
Edelbrock upgrade package that includes the aluminum intake and
four-barrel carburetor, open element chrome air filter assembly,
and tube headers, and shows better with chrome valve covers and
alternator, and has power steering and brakes.
Interior
The comfortable grey velour interior has a split front bench seat
that has a fold-down armrest for individual comfort, matching rear
seat, headliner and carpeting, and a factory stock looking dash
with all the correct factory gauges, and floor mats.
It has premium features like as cruise control, a tilt steering
wheel, cold-blowing air conditioning, power windows and mirrors,
and a Kenwood AM/FM stereo radio upgrade in place in the center of
the dash.
Exterior
Our GMC has a great Dark Saxony Green paint job looking as new over
great body panels, body-color mirrors and window trim, chrome
bumpers, dual exhaust with chrome tips, a formed bed-liner paint
protecting the bed, and all riding on custom polished 5-spoke
wheels and performance blackwall tires with a fifth matching mag
wheel and tire mounted in the trunk.
Conclusion
This Dark Saxony Green 1980 GMC Caballero Diablo we have here at
Adventure Classics is a one-of-a-kind great example of a wonderful
Caballero.
