    That factory Blue is beautiful! Something about El Camino's that put a smile on my face, maybe because I love Trucks and Chevelle's. Nice clean understated build. Great interview too, Chris is pretty sharp. Thank you Currie Garage for another great video

    What a cool El Camino!!! Totally dig that it has a big block in it! As was mentioned in the episode, a big block just has a personality that is hard to duplicate with the LS swaps. And this bad boy has plenty of power to lay it down!! Great episode and love that Chris has held onto this ride for 20 years!!👍👍

    Very nice build...I met Chris when he and I had 01 Mustang Bullitt GT's...His was the rare true blue and I had the more common dark highland green...Cool guy and knows his stuff.....

    I own a '68 Elky in Sequoia Green (very few in that factory color) with the factory buckets + "stirrup" shifter. I researched finding an era-correct 396 big block for it. Instead of a $10K+ project, I opted to pull its crappy late-70's 305, re-use some of the parts and install a 1966 327 (era correct). In my mid-60's now, I have other priorities, and that .30-over 327 is definitely no slouch. And my profit margin will be more when this old guy sells it. But Plump's rat motor '71 is nothing short of "Beauty & BEAST"!

    The Elcamino is a great looking Ute brother.

    Great job on the car and yes black is boring and always looks dirty, here in Australia a truck is a Mack or a Kenworth you have a car.

    What LS is a small block?

    • @Joebro200
      @Joebro200 Před 2 lety

      As far as I know, all modern LS engines are small blocks. Back in the 70’s Chevy did differentiate the mid HP 454 and high HP 454 by labeling them LS5 (375 HP) and LS6 (450 HP). Those where big blocks. But those engines have nothing to do with the modern LS engines you see today. All are Small blocks now.

    it is a ute !

  • @bobaldwin3244
    @bobaldwin3244 Před rokem

    i would say its a ute because its a unibody based on a car so in my opinon its a ute

    • @brianc9642
      @brianc9642 Před 9 měsíci

      It’s a reinforced, boxed, full frame shared with the Chevelle station wagon, 4” longer wheelbase than 2 door sedan.

    that thing is bad as fuck!

  • @sphinxrising1129
    @sphinxrising1129 Před 2 lety

    Legally, it is a truck. If you take any station wagon & remove the rear part, you must register it as a truck. I know someone who did this.
