For Sale: 1978 GMC Caballero in Concord, North Carolina

This 1978 GMC Caballero always gets some extra attention just because it's the El Camino's rarer cousin. But the badge on this one is secondary to how this GMC delivers a true vintage feeling with just the right extra pieces for added fun. For example, if it weren't for those side pipes, this could almost have a sleeper-style vibe. But what that really means is you get to see some of the best classic elements, like the profile with smooth lines that are a bit reminiscent of the three-window coupes from the 1930s. Inside, the button-top diamond pattern seat gives the stock setup some retro-cool fun. And the engine bay has just the right amount of added flair to make you pay attention to the big block upgrade.
