Vehicle Description
From 1971 through 1987, GMC took Chevrolets platform, which had
been being sold since the late 1950', and the El Camino nameplate
and pretty much duplicated it. The first and second-generation cars
(71-72) and (73-78) were called the Sprint and the third and final
generation cars built from 1978 through 1987 was called the
Caballero. These vehicles were a cross-over car/truck and what is
interesting is that these style vehicles are still being built
today in Australia, called Utes. This particular absolute stunning
Caballero is better than new and features a couple really cool
modifications. First off, is the Tremec 5-speed manual floor shift
that has been very nicely executed as well as the year correct
bucket seats vs. the factory bench that would have been offered.
Second, is the stainless steel full-length true dual exhaust with
headers. Third, is the incredible re-paint in a single tone all the
way through that shows near perfect. The bed has wood inserts that
are extremely well finished and backed with a magnet so they can be
removed for cargo or to clean, a very thought out presentation.
This Caballero is very well sorted, it starts perfectly, sounds
fantastic, shifts perfectly, brakes perfectly, goes down the road
very straight and true, has no weird noises, no funky smells, leaks
or smoke. The A/C blows ice cold, the radio works, has power
windows and locks and is 100% ready to go. This seriously is one of
the nicest El Camino/Sprint/Caballero's I have ever seen or driven.
This car was owned, cared for and built by a retired engineer. This
car needs a second look if you are in the market. let us know if
