What has happen to Hot Rod? Ol' Pete Peterson has to be rolling in his grave on how crappy his magazine has become.

Like a lot of once-upon-a-time rags. What happened is right here .... the Net.

How come not 1 mention of El Camino’s. Modern day journalist are a joke in themselves. Don’t give the whole story, miss many details, they just don’t have the work ethics they should have.

I bought my last g-body a year and a half ago and decided at that point I don't need any more (I own 6)......so prices can do whatever they are going to do.

I've been a forum member here since pretty much the beginning.....and I do see the irony in the monthly threads about G-bodies not getting the respect they deserve (in terms of selling price)....then when they do begin to go mainstream and prices increase.....everone is like "Get off my lawn!".

If you accept Bitcoin, make sure it arrives in $9000 transfers. Less federal paperwork…

Make that $9000 transfers to different banks.

Reporting is mandatory with the 10,000 level, BUT, banks are also supposed to voluntarily report any aggregation of transfers that add up to more than the 10,000 limit which cause or may have reason to cause suspicion. And if you randomly get lots of transfers just under limits coming in, almost every bank will voluntarily report just to save themselves headaches.

I've got a 98 crew cab dually with zero rust if you're in the market. I'm debating now in waiting to sell because of that. On the other hand, I want a regular cab long bed 2500 in that body as well.

What you need is the 'El Camino' of those OBS models.... The CC short-bed 2500 😎

I was thinking the same thing. Also, weren't there just a tiny handful of "88 El Caminos, making them very rare?

Agreed.

Many here have really nice cars. I say it's about time that the value of their cars is relative to the money spent on them.
