A rarer counterpart to the El Camino, this 1983 GMC Caballero
offers the perfect blend of car and truck for the right owner. The
Caballero has car-like driving characteristics, while offering you
truck-like utility, with a bed that is most likely going to be
lower in height than a truck bed for easier access. The blue paint
pairs nicely with American Racing wheels, giving it a clean
restomod look. El Caminos usually draw plenty of attention at car
shows, but when people realize they're looking at a GMC, their
curiosity grows even stronger.
The interior keeps things simple yet stylish. Blue cloth bench
seating, blue carpeting, and two-tone blue-and-black door panels
blend well with the matching dashboard. A tilt steering wheel with
a column shifter sits in front of the stock-configured gauge
cluster, which includes a speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure,
temperature, fuel, and volts. For modern convenience, an Alpine
AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo with Bluetooth keeps you connected. Rounding
out the cabin features are heat and A/C, power windows, power
locks, and cruise control.
Under the hood, the Caballero is powered by a second-generation LT1
V8 with electronic fuel injection. The engine delivers smooth
horsepower and torque throughout the power range, making it ideal
for cruising. It's paired with a 700R4 automatic transmission,
known for its deep first gear ratio that offers strong off-the-line
acceleration. Power is sent to a 10-bolt rear axle, while coil
springs, shocks, and sway bars are implemented on both the front
and rear for stability. The 17-inch American Racing wheels are
fitted with front power disc brakes for confident stopping power.
And when you stomp on the throttle, the dual exhaust with Dynomax
mufflers delivers a satisfying rumble.
Highlights:
*LT1 350 Cubic-Inch V8
*700R4 4-speed Automatic *Dual Exhaust With Dynomax Mufflers
*17-inch American Racing Wheels *Front Power Disc Brakes
*AM/FM/CD/AUX Stereo With Bluetooth *Bedliner *Base Colored Bumpers
Being a little different is always fun, and this 1983 GMC Caballero
embodies both fun and different. While it looks like an El Camino,
it isn't, and its rarity proves it: just 2,126 Caballeros were
produced in 1983, compared to 26,136 El Caminos. With its restomod
styling and mild yet capable drivetrain, this Caballero makes for a
great cruiser. Call us today!
