VERR-RRY Interesting. A late model El Camino or Caballero with a Camaro front clip grafted to it along with what I think are Caddy tail lights, or maybe custom poured lenses. Thinking that the shifter is from a T56 or similar maybe?

Nice looking ride. Someone had Deep pockets or a lot of time and skill to create it. No shot of the mill but thinking, again, possibly an LSA or an LSX block. Mine to do, and if I had the money, (Yeah, right, as if) the mill would be a 572.

As long as I am wondering aloud, I now have to wonder if anyone has ever created a crewcab version of the Elky, based on two donors plus some creative stretch work to the frame??

Yes the crew cab or extended cab has been done. I personally like the early 60’s done as a crew cab. Yes the extended cab below has a back seat

Looks like it’s a very well done build, while not my cup a Joe, it is nice as custom cars go.

Looks like it has a Lokar automatic shifter to me. While the pictures are very dark of the interior driver’s floor, I think there is a large brake pedal for an automatic trans application.

Just not my cup of tea. I appreciate the work and craftsmanship, just looks off.

I think that what throws me off is what also prevents it from being street legal - lack of any side visible turn signal indicators/reflectors.

The camaro nose the grafted would've had something near the tire, this one just has an excessive chunk of white real-estate.

I'm kinda diggin' the crew cab 64/65 Elky but the late model extra cab, not so much. However, I can appreciate the work and ingenuity they put into it to make it there own unique ride.

I always had the idea for those 90's elderardo tail lights in g elky. They just look like the would fit perfect.

Thanks for the pics, Ill probably never get to see either ride in person so good to know that someone has been there and done that. As for the apparent lack of side marker lights, guess they would be needed for street legal but this is, supposedly, a show car so smooth would have been the mantra. At that, it is possible to inlay surface mount LEDS that would look white like the body until activated by the vehicle starting and then they turn red or amber or ???

I think DOT regulations require them to actually be reflective even if the bulb is burned out

what's a side marker?
