I think that’s actually the Ford equivalent of the Chevy El Camino, the Ford Ranchero (?) from the late 1970s, just before they were discontinued. You don’t see too many of them around anymore!

I feel lame saying this, but I always wanted a 1978 or 79 corvette because I thought it would be cool to drive something as close to the bat mobile as possible!

DUDE! I also have a deep love affair with the truck-car! I have been scanning the classified ads like a mad man lately looking for a 83 El Camino; those beauties were built with a Oldsmobile 350 diesel engine in limited edition with three on the tree and are harder to find than hen’s teeth. Good form PoP, Good Form.

If you like the El Camino, check out the Subaru BRAT. Same truck-car form factor but shrunk down, and with turbo. What’s not to like?

My dream car? The Volkswagen Minibus.

When I was little, I thought el Caminos were the funniest looking cars ever, and reasoned that they MUST have a jacuzzi in the back… Otherwise, what was the point?

Silly!

AC Cobra 427, or in the alternative, a Sunbeam Tiger.
