Don’t you dare hurt that precious El Camino in anyway. That is my dream car and I can’t ever get one and it saddens me when I see someone with an El Camino just trash it. If I could afford it I would take it off of your hands. Please don’t hurt her.
Matt, you never cease to amaze me and that goes for Mere, poor girl, who rolls her eyes at every new, crazy thing Matt does. She has to be the most patient wife.
OMG!! The El Camino!! My hubbies best friend had an El Camino. We would go camping with that car at our favorite lake. So many memories..so few I can remember because we were all drunk and stoned. Oh to be young again!! I think the El Cam will be a perfect addition to the Demolitia. How considerate that your Dad kept it for you for all these years. Can hardly wait to see you in BRCC's video in October. Love the coffee, love the crazy dudes that make it. Blessed be Carriker Family.
there's something about a restored el camino that just gets me fully torqued... any chance you could buy something else to use as a junker and just fully restore that thing?
Don' take this pretty thing as a Demo Car. Restore it, fix it, love it. It would be great for your Kids. The El Camino is one of the most good looking cars in the world. I love it. So pleeeeaaaase, don't let your Wild Bunch Rat Pack comming over it. Greetings from Germany Jo
I love this! My grandpa had a 79 el camino that he built for drag racing, SBC, natural aspirated, ran 10s. I wasn't in a position to acquire it when he passed, but I'd love to find it some day. I'll never forget the look on that old man's face when he'd launch that thing off the starting line, pure joy!
Nyx Knight I’m speaking on a value standpoint ppl are triggered he might use a $500 beater on the ranch. Now if it was a 1960 model or a 70’ SS I would agree
I just have to say this, Matt, your content is helping me not to go too far into depression. So seriously, thank you for being genuine and full of life.
Crazy how much can change in 10 years! Looking back on it I bet is crazy for you. Went from driving a primered car to having all you do now. Life can be full of blessings through hard work and you sir have done it amazingly!
Matt. You need to restore this car. Regardless of it being a poorly desired car. The fact it was your car all that time ago, it's worth fixing up and finishing off what you once started
It's amazing how a little water pressure cleaning can do ! I enjoyed the back history of the el Camino and Meridith looked lovely in the picture at the lake! That was really nice watching you hang out and do a cameo for your friend's video 📹 😊👍💕💕💕
@BigSean It's not the best Camino but I wouldn't destroy it. A buddy of mine has a 502 powered '68 Chevelle and a '68 "Chevelcamino" up on the hill waiting it's turn for resto. It was a good year. Hah!, I've been running around in a '68 Corolla for almost 33 years now.
Matt you have no idea how bad I want that car/a car like that!!! Even if it didn't run, man I love those things and they'd be great for what my dad (a carpenter) and I use cars for. I am so excited to see her rolling around on the ranch kicking butt and tearing through the woods!
I love you dad's choice of shirt. I have had lots of good memories at Gruene Hall. Our family has a place in New Braunfels so we would shoot over there to throw a few back and listen to some good ol country music
didnt see ur dad in a long time, hes looking good actually looking younger than i remember him from the old vids :D Edit: actually made me rly happy to see ur dad so happy and fit
Yeah I was thinking that he could save it like the zr1 and build it for a burnout vehicle I know he has the c6 but a el Camino burnout truck with a aggressive stance maybe paint it black yeah I think I have made my point haha
5:24 Ohh Matt,you're such a troll. Not gonna lie,once you revealed his identity,i giggled. Your sense for humor is the best,and this is why i like you!!
That's to funny i had a 1973 El Camino SS, Loved that car had it painted root beer brown metallic with BFG's 50's all around with Enkei 5 hole wheels...Oh the memories 1
It's an idea that's not bad however the wheelbase of a K5 is only like a 106 in which is 10 inches shorter than and El Camino, but a short bed Chevy is only an inch and a half longer than an El Camino, let's see how many of you can do math and tell me how long a short bed Chevy is...
@@the_schrecky hes talked about it a few different times he doesn't practice full time anymore due to obligations elsewhere but still keeps up with his license.
Anyone else noticing the memories look on Mere's face that I was half expecting her to tell Matt to restore the car instead of using it for Demo Ranch?
hey mat, a little tip for your trailer winch to make it a bit easier to operate solo. i installed a wireless remote controller on mine and it is fantastic, allows you to steer the car while winching it on or off. i don think it was super expensive off amazon/ebay and it wouldn't take long for you to figure out how to install the receiver into the pre existing control box yourself.
I love the rims. Those old Craiger rims are my fav. type of rims on a muscle car. Also, El Caminos make a damn great low rider. Your dad is a cool guy, Matt. I'd love to hang out with ya'll. Also, Matt you might wanna stand FURTHER away when pulling up a car like that. If that wire snaps, its DANGEROUS. We've had 2 people in the E.R. that had whip backs from the wires hitting them after they broke while cranking up vehicles. I hope you read this. Those wires are like a whip when they snap. Both guys had deep lacerations. One on the arm and the other had one across his chest. Two separate incidents, but same results in the damage those cables did.
would be wrong to trash this one.. call me a hoarder or call me nostalgic, thats a keeper.
You cant destroy a Classic
Yeah you can it’s called the general lee
Arlen_ mlg1112 the general lee isn’t ruined??
Agree
TFH 203 if someone does I’ll kick there ass and maybe kill them that’s how much I love classic cars
I second restoring it and keeping it for Lincoln. The car has a good history with you, perfect car to make a new history with another family member
That El Camino is for Adie.

Please don't destroy it. We want this to be a part of Demo Ranch history.
Forget a Demo Ranch car, that would make a perfect car for Lincoln
I think a Lincoln would make a perfect car for Lincoln
I definitely want to see a full restoration.
In 8 years
Lincoln needs a Lincoln. A nice 60s Lincoln Continental would do the trick.
A 65 continental would be perfect
Matt, just go ahead and make “Demolition Wrench” a thing.
Or “Off the Wrench”
Second this.

Agreed
Im surprised that straight six isn't on the future target list.
Inline 6 vs 50!!
I was looking forward to it! Perfect opportunity to see what just the engine block would stop. Ffs Matt, getter done!
Well Matt, you can send it my way and I'll put some holes in the block. 😁
I agree. Couldn't believe he actually threw it away
When Dad said yeah take it with you...I just knew it would show up with a 50BMG hole as a new oil drain exit...guess I was incorrect.
Please don’t destroy this car. We’d rather see you rebuild!
Matt, don't tell me you want to be the next Wistlin diesel
Dont get a paintjob That makes you look like a bad driver who dosnt care about your car.
I agree. That car needs to be restored.
Sounds like everyone is voting to restore the El Camino and/or to not destroy it on Demo Ranch..
I agree, Keep her Matt!! 😎👌
I’m just gonna pile on everybody else here...don’t destroy that thing.

Yes he should the chromino has a lot of sentimental value
Engine swap the burnout cars engine and trans into this don’t demo this car, and I’m not even a Chevy fan but it’s a good lookin car
When he threw away the engine I was like NOOOOOO a demolition ranch target thrown away
Right?!
Definitely!
my exact thoughts lol
Just what I was thinking.
I mean, he could at least hide behind it when he remote-fires guns...
I'm not really an elcamino fan, but I still would much rather see that restored than destroyed.
Exactly
Agreed!
Could get probably 2800 to 8000 to 20,000 these are collector’s items !
As a demo ranch fan it breaks my heart you didn't save that engine to shoot.
It’s amazing how much Mark looked like his father. It just caught my eye... R.I.P, Mark!!
There's an incredible family resemblance between all the members of the Carriker family!
I've got a feeling you already listened to everyone but this should be a project to you and Lincoln work on together.
That's a damn good idea. it could be an episode type ordeal

I have a 77 el Camino, replaces the front end with a 74’s front end, hope you chose to keep it instead of destroying it, there getting hard to find.
El Camino...The mullet of the car world, business in the front and a party in the back.
I always said they’re for indecisive people, not sure if it’s a car or a truck?
Only mullet I’ll ever think looks amazing
I would love a modernized version of that. A sports car that can go pick up a 75 inch tv from bestbuy :P
Grumpy Wolf Gaming all the new stuff looks bad though. It’d have to be a challenger front to be good looking, just cuz that’s the closest to the classic muscle look I strictly look for in all cars
Never heard that one before... Think of it all on your own?....
Don’t you dare hurt that precious El Camino in anyway. That is my dream car and I can’t ever get one and it saddens me when I see someone with an El Camino just trash it. If I could afford it I would take it off of your hands. Please don’t hurt her.
I agree, they did not make alot of them as they were not really big sellers, so they are kind of hard to find now.
I've seen one in person and they are such cool looking cars. I totally want one at some point.
They are hard to find because the 73 and newer El camino's look terrible
