    El Camino races.

    I'm going to open up with a closing remark, which most of you, and especially I, will most likely go "damn, that sucks." I have sold my G-Body El Camino and today was the last time I drove it. She served me well. But enough of that. Time for the fun stories. My favorite story involves...

    Very Bad News.

    8:32 A.M. May 19. 2007. I was rearended by an unlicensed driver in a Dodge pickup truck, throwing my car into my good friend James' Saturn in front of me. My front and rear bumpers are both pushed in, my tailgate is beaten horribly. My driver side mid/rear quarter panel is bent in. It's...

    rear end on 1986 elky :?:

    So not too long ago I posted an article on here about stock transmission problems on my TH-200 three speed. Now I have a question about the stock rear end that's found on the El Camino in 1986. What's the gears and what would be my best bet as to get posi-traction? edit: Alright, so...

    New Elky From Australia? Can it be?

    Prost, to the Ute. I've been knowing about it for the longest time, and as a HUGE El Camino fan(but having no money to buy up as much as I'd like) the only two other cars other than the el camino that have caught my eyes are the Ute and the SSR(With the LS motor and tremec 6 speed, won't go...

    86 stock transmission problems (?)

    86 stock transmission problems (?)

    First off I'll start with "I don't know much about cars." I know what I got and that's all. I acquired a 1986 elky from my mechanic last year at a good price of $2500, car was in excellent condition, rebuilt engine only had 16k miles on it and only a few body issues (cracks and a little...
