And I Thought G Body El Caminos Were Small...

Lets not forget these little crap boxes. We had two at my old job when they first came out. They didnt last long.

Yeah, I dunno about that one. Friend had an absolutely rotten 2.2 turbo stick version rampage for a summer. That thing was a blast to drive. Traded it for a little mitsu turbo that was also a blast. Turned me on to the turdbo scene for sure

I thought the little Rampages were kinda cool. The last one I saw cruising around was pretty nice. Looked like it was all restored, too. There does seem to be a following for them.

I'd drive this one.

5k: 1972 Chevy Vega Pickup w/Buick Turbo V6

This car was so special that we had to generate a new badge at the daily turismo, the 'riddler.' This is for those special cars where we don't know if we

reminds me of something out of the first mad max movie... kinda like his wagon without the shell...

I like that little Chevy 500. I guess it's based on a Chevette. I saw it come up on my Hagerty mail.

first thing I thought of... had a couple shovitt's when I was younger... beat the things like leased mules, and they kept going...

Is it me or does it kinda look like a European '80's Ford Escort?

I worked at a B/S in the first half of the 80s that we did most of the local Dodge dealers body work. I’m a GM guy but I thought the Rampages were cool as hell. Convert to rear wheel drive, dump a 340/727 in. As was I remember pulling one out on the street with the turbo, dead stop floor it count to 5 then the turbo kicks you in the *ss. Fun for the 80s.

I forgot how cool the Chevy LUV pickups were. They're pretty hard to find today. I wouldn't mind owning one. The U of F had a fleet of them back in the day. They kept their vehicles for years. They also kept a few oddball vehicles...AMC Spirits, etc.

The LUV trucks were cool. They were common to V-8 swaps. Why you hardly see any now is that they were rust piles waiting to happen.

I kinda figured their demise was due to rust. Much like the Vegas' which were also notorious rust buckets. I guess the General was not intending for these vehicles to last for an extended duration.
