Default GM please build this El Camino for the USA
Wouldn't this be great if GM did this, in the HSV form. The LSA engine in Ute body!! I'd be on the waiting list.

I love the old sport utes of Aussieland. I agree, it's time for a comeback.

They've been available "down unda" since the 30s.......

Especially in the HSV form. I think the article lists 576HP 545 lb-ft torque and it came with a stick or auto. It was made in 2013 with only 250 produced. It would be great to have one of these back in the states, not a conversion but a full fledged El Camino SS.

Any idea what they were charging for them?

I used to think I'd buy one, but if I want a truck, I'd get a pickup. If I wanted a car, and lord knows I've got enough, I would.

Holy Chit!!! She could be driving a Yugo and I would be watching it over and over again. BRB.

Edit: Who am I kidding. She could be on the radio and I would listen to her over and over.

And of course GM already makes every part needed to convert those to left hand drive & badge them as Chevys.
