Scotty I stripped a El Camino including the top camper cap.anything you need just ask and believe me i'll just about give your son the parts except shipping from Ma.
Gotta love that Chevy logo shaped exhaust.
My buddy todd owns one of these
@@BulbBunny there is no one on earth named tod dont lie.
@@BulbBunny need parts let me know.
Tailpipe in the shape of the Chevy badge...man, that's love.
shits crazy
Cool detail
They don't care about those things now 😢
Yeah m it’s awesome man
I noticed that, it’s pretty cool
I love when the camera is set too low and Scotty just tilts his head.
He sets the camera up to get the whole car in the frame and then squeezes himself into the picture "as needed". No channel I watch more (and I am a political junkie/conspiracy well "nut" is way too mild a word for me).
What Alan said 😁👍
I like how he's still recording while getting rained on.😂
Yes, but it is warm rain 😉
He's a trooper
Scotty’s waterproof
he a different breed
With the windows down lol.
Scotty: 'El Camino are the best sportcar'
Cleetus: 'Hell yeah brother'
its me im cleetus
It has a great stereo system, then pulled out a bose portable speaker 😂😂. Scotty def isn't pickey about good sound system!
No highs, no lows. Must be Bose!
Bose is good enough for me tbh. I don't need subs or anything like that.
Sam Westing maybe with newer products but old bose sounds great real ahead of their time
At the other end of the spectrum, there are those fools who install subs that shake their cars apart. The rattles at stop lights are as loud as the bass notes.
Scotty featured it in a vid awhile back, something about a cheap way to fix what can be really expensive on newer cars by not really fixing it.
Or in the case of older cars, if speakers are all blown etc. Who needs a radio with that engine sound though?
Nice to see some people old time cars with none of that “cheap plastic crap”
I was told by a car designer, they design into modern cars that they will be recycled in about 10 years. They are not designed these days to last.
Exactly mate but these modern car lovers will never learn.
This was made in the 80s my father had a '67 with a metal dash. They also had padded metal dashes.
Neighbours"s kid: "Hey Ma that crazy old guy next door is roaring up and down the street in an old car again"😎
You mean "Karen".
A complaint by no kid I ever knew.
Don't worry, he's just visiting Tennessee.
Looks like Scotty was evicted by GM.
GM is evicting themselves out of the u.s lol
His house was an endless money pit
@@nasilemak868 all houses are.
@@johnp556got a 1940s built sandstone house here in Scotland. Not cost me a penny in 7yr bar £30 of container paint, £50 of masonry paint, £70 for a new boiler motor and weedkiller etc is about £50 a year. Should have bought the right house mate as my wee 16ft mayland fishing boat has cost me more to maintain 😂

Holden Commodore's - staring Lionel Ritchie
For anyone who is interested , Australia invented this style of car back in 1948 and we called it a UTE , short for utility . Its was based on our 4 door sedans , a farmer that had a 4 door family sedan cut the back off to put hay in the back to feed his sheep and cattle as he drove around his pattocks .
The El Camino has always been one of my favorites. I had an opportunity to buy one once but the deal fell through when the bank refused the loan and my finances were rather limited otherwise. Haven't found one since, but if I do I'll probably jump on it now that I am more financially secure.
I’m trying to do the same in Italy… but it is more difficult, and the chance to get one well maintained it is difficult… depends on 💵💵💵 as usual! But I will do that.
I love the bluh-bluh-bluh-bluh sound of the idling engine. Cars sound like Singer sewing machines now.
You should have heard mine after the plastic timing gear stripped out.
When Scotty started her up I felt all my stress and worries melt away. It was music to my ears😂
I’m pretty sure Scotty injured his arm when waving his arms describing some endless money pit.
I once had a 1981 El Camino that had the 305, nice vehicle.
7:19 you don't have to go gigantic to have fun, That's what she said! 🤣😂🤣
The pictures in the corner are almost worth seeing on their own!
I'm with you Scotty! I've always wanted an El Camino and that's a really sharp looking one. Wish they still made 'em. Congrats to your son on an excellent buy!
We need to bring back the El Camino. And I work for GM (Colorado Assembly plant). I want one.
@deadend You make a fair point. I say we keep politics out of cars and put them back into churches where they belong (ha ha).
Just got a 2020 Colorado two weeks ago. Thanks for making a great vehicle! I love that thing. Please tell the people that you work with that their craftsmanship is appreciated!
HSV Maloo...
@@CCK-jd8nc YES!!!!!!!
@@techeddie9035 I will do that on Sunday night, my friend. Thank you so very much for the complement. Please be safe
Junior has an excellent taste in cars....a muscle car that hauls a couch/mattress/bags of mulch/refrigerator/table/mother-in-law.
BamBam Bigelow
Uh... barely hauls a refrigerator.
Small truck, but BamBam is right. My '78 Camino has hauled all those things (mother-in-law reluctantly in passenger seat), plus pavers, firewood, full size bed set, car parts, etc. The style is polarizing, but the utility is outstanding for its size and rides as smooth as a Buick. I've always loved them.
No Cold 🥶 AC this time...
Big fan of all your videos Scotty! I've been watching for the last 3 years. You are America's mechanic! I really enjoy this video too, my dad has an 1980 El Camino and this is just reassuring me I can fix it up!
Back in the day '87 to early 2000's, I had a 1971 El Camino that was handed down to me and it was my super project in High School that my best friend and I got graded on with built up 350 and turbo 350 trans that just lasted all them years that was just priceless and everyone knew was coming down the road as soon they saw the root beer brown with the white vinyl top = Great Times!
Wonderful Ami-ship !
Perfect for Spring break party !
Love those Chevy classics, i'm still using my '84 Camaro (looks same parts on engine bay of that car)
Scotty, thank you for all you do. Your like a book that always has a new chapter.
I started watching Scotty about two years ago. In my home we call him grandpa Scotty he's now part of our family lol. I work on my own cars and friends. Thank you so much for giving me such a wonderful gift.
I had a 75 Malibu 2dr that came factory equipped with a 454 and a Turbo 400 with 3.08 posi.When you stomped it the speedmeter went one way..the gas guage the other..lotta fun😎
vwwrenchie
Ha, I remember those days. You could almost see that gas gauge move.
Lol most American car ever made yet the name is in Spanish
Ever heard of El Ranchero?
@@210SAi Ford's version
But Spanish/Latin culture is American culture. American cuisine, language, clothing, history, etc. is mostly a combination of British, French, Spanish, Mexican, and Native American, and which one is dependent on location.
And don't forget NOVA means "No go" in spanish I believe. They had trouble selling them in Mexico because of the name I know.....hehe..
@Traveling with Rick actually Ford was the original just like the with the Mustang, Chevy had to spend years making a copy of their own
Scotty As a driveway mechanic but former owner of a car dealership I commend your general knowledge. A V8 is a reciprocating engine. A GM ball and screw steering system is called a recirculating ball steering box. I just wanted to correct that minor error. Also there was a 3 year gap from 61-63 when Chev stopped making the El Caminos. We had an El Camino like that one and it could tow a huge trailer with the old 350. They are really handy vehicles. Thanks Scotty!
THE DETAILS!!!! The exhaust shaped like the Chevrolet logo... that is DEDICATION
You should come to Aus and see our utes if you love the El Camino, especially our Ford Falcon XR8 and Holden Maloo.
🤘
2:52 don’t do this to your Hyundai 😂
you can if you want an emergency stop XD
I’m glad you pointed out the interior floors. The sheet metal inside was paper thin at that time to cut down on vehicle weight. So it just about always rusts through and it’s under the carpet, so you don’t see it.. if you catch it early enough, it can be saved.
Scotty, your passion for cars is definitely rubbing off on a lot of people. Nice little community you have built here, you should be very proud of it. Keep teaching, keep learning man, and we will all keep supporting you. Semper Fi fellow vet
It's not his passion, It's more that economy is in the shitter thanks to the Democrats, I've seen more Classic Cars back on the road in the last 3 years than I did in the 30 years before that, and it's not just the "Cool" classics, most of them have been the mid-late 70's Smog and Malaise Era cars, cars like this 4th gen El Camino, that 10 years they wouldn't have touched with a 10 foot pole, People by large no longer have 40-60 grand to go out and buy a new car but they do have 3-5k to go out and buy a "Undesireable" classic car/truck and spend another 4 or 5k and put it back on the road and daily drive it, a recent article by the American Insurance Association said that 25% (82.2 million) of the U.S. population have a Vintage Car (25-50 years old) registered and insured as a daily driver, In 2015 it was less than 4%. (roughly 11 million), it's went up over 600% in the last 8 years. I haven't seen as many mid-late 70's cars on the road or at Cruise-ins/Cars and Coffee's since I was a kid/teen in the early-mid 80's.
Change your power steering fluid once in awhile that really helps your rack and pinion last a long time
That doesn't have rack and pinion lol
@@glennmanchester1568 lol I know but thanks
I was actually hoping for Scotty's son waving his hand around too🤣🤣🤣
Lots of people would enjoy having one of these. It is like driving a piece of history. Good program. My boss had one of these in the 70's.
Thanks for keeping them coming...even on vacation. Take a break buddy and chase those grand kids. I bet your grand kids don't know how cool you are.
Used to be called the gentleman's pickup truck.
Rancheros and El Caminos were called "cowboy Cadilacs". Now Cadilac sells pickups.
@@bwtv147 what pickup truck does cadillac sell? The Escalade ext has been discontinued since 2013.
@@bwtv147 What pickup truck?
@@lastnamefirstname9043 You're right. There is no 2020 Cadillac pickup.
The Road... El Camino 🚘
It has been one my top 5 favorites since I regularly saw one in my hometown when I was a kid.
I love the old cars, wish they made them like that today, cheap and easy to work on and actually fun.
best car channel ever.
That guy probably started changing the oil himself. I usually do my own once the free dealer changes run out and that’s not very many.
probably but you never know
Joe Pierson Yep I met a lady who purchased a brand new Ford Escape and only added oil for the first 17,000 miles until I explained everything to her. A proper break in period is crucial and those who buy a new car and leave that same oil in the whole time can be a used car shopper's worst nightmare.
I can’t wait to get my ‘65 road ready. Love these El Caminos!
I was amazed to see the HVAC controls were still all there; has to carry around my faithful flat blade screw driver to operate mine on my Nova :)
5:30 Damn, Scotty would bash on my dream car! A lexus GSF!
Scotty likes Lexus
Love the Chevy "bow tie" exhaust tips. Drop an LS1 engine in it
Will Mathieson No! the orginal motors are better, and last longer!
@@peggyraymond2460 Not to mention cheaper and a hell of a lot easier to work on. No computer, no injectors, minimal if any emissions. Easy peasy. I did an upper engine rebuild of the 350 in my 74 pickup while it was sitting in my friend's driveway with nothing but the tools I keep in the back of my truck.
maingun07 agreed.
@Steve Silvas Nice ride!! As I recall the '59 has dual headlights?
@@peggyraymond2460 REALLY? Any '60's '70's cars I new and owned the drivetrains were shot at 100,000 miles. Modern cars last much longer. My 2002 LS1 has over 230,000 and going strong. These old motors are here today due to rebuilds.
Lucked into a '72 in '76. had a 350 and the first set of radials I ever had. What a ride!
Those el caminos are awesome cars! First time I ever seen one my grandfather owned it. I fell in love the first time I rode in it. I’d love to find one to own
1:09 Chevrolet Shaped Pipe
Sick!
You mean bowtie
Ricer.... Americano
Cool 😎
I prefer the Ford Ranchero! Ford brought back the 2-door Bronco, maybe they’ll consider bringing back the Ranchero.
My daily drive last 3 years, 1974 blue and white Camino, sunburnt and sandblasted, is a really cool car, love it.
I had 68 and a 73 El Camino..loved them..wish I still had the 68 with the backup lights in the tailgate..I lived in TENNESSEE for 10 years, great people great place..enjoy Scotty..but they don't like yankees..haha
Just busting your chops buddy..Merry Christmas 😁
This is a fabulous car ❤️
My gosh, I want one of these! :O I wonder how much I could get one shipped to the UK :D
@pete w wow 😮 what a brilliant answer.. You win the prize smartest dude on the internet.. 😂
It's already a boat...📉😎📈
My first car was a 1975 el camino, same gen as this one and I love it. Especially that v8 muscle car rumble
I drove an El Camino for work in Southern California in 1975-1977. Hinshaw’s Department store Arcadia, Ca.
Other vehicles run on propane. It was a little unsettling in the El Camino having the tank behind your head but boy does propane make a vehicle run great. Don’t know why it never became a thing. They had a maintenance man who knew how to do the conversion to propane. He has passed but I am still friends with his wife even though we are now 3000 miles apart. I loved driving that thing.
Chevy 350 is a great engine, glad you mentioned that. Nice car
Back when GM made great cars.
I've got to take a crap that could choke a donkey
I can dig this. Went out for a drive today and on the way back saw a '66 in teal, kleen, on a transport truck.
My fave year your a Chevelle. This was sweet.
I've got a 71 El Camino, best vehicle in my garage. Love 'em!!
Neighbors who is this strange man with sunglasses talking about cars in our neighborhood
.. you forgot the hand waving man with matrix glasses yelling and a hallarin ❤️😂
He’s going to have the neighborhood Karen come out and chew him a new 1 if he keeps ripping through the streets like a teenager
@Aldous Huxley 😄😄
@@jackmcandle6955 🤣
Can you say, "over spray"?
Scott I appreciate everything you do . God Bless You
Love my 76 el Camino with a 400 v8
Work n progress but everything is so accessible and simple to work on
I’ve got a 76 too with a 350
i never realized the exhaust was in the shape of the chevy emblem 🤣
@Pandem R32 Skyline: Aftermarket ........
I love it 😻
Here in the frozen wasteland of MI. that's a LIKE NEW car! Always loved these.
Nice to hear the son has caught the same talent.... Thnx as Usual !
GM 73-77 bumpers last forever.whoever did the chrome plating ..did an amazing job.
Pre-'72 chrome bumpers looked okay. But those "battering rams" that the Feds mandated on the '73+ models were just fugly!
I very badly want to restore one!
I am actually working on '65 El Camino and putting basically replacing EVERYTHING I mean just about everything new front end, rear end, paint, power locks, it has ac, and it looks clean
Scotty my first car in 1975 was a 1973 Chevy Chevelle Deluxe with a 350 V8 2 barrel for $1,400 and it was smooth and fast (bought it in Houston before I graduated from Baylor University). It had been a Baroid Oil Drilling service car and it was one of the best running vehicles I ever had and had ice cold air conditioning. It was light yellow with a green interior so it had the Baylor school colors.
Scotty, you're a multi-millionaire, throw your son some cash to fix that thing up and buy some furniture. 😁
he's too cheap to spend it is nothing that Scotty can buy for a dollar that will make him happier than seeing that dollar in the bank😂
Last time I was this early I had to buy new pants
There are some good products to use to help stop the rust too, especially superficial, the classic naval jelly and loctite even makes a good spray, but make sure to read the instructions and follow because it can do a number on the paint if you want to keep it and aren't gonna repaint lol.
Love to see someone do a take-off on Scotty. That is, as long as they do it in good humor, not for trolling.
I had one of those el Caminos. I loved it. No weight on the rear tires which made it super easy to fry the tires. It was a lot of fun
Ryder's car "Picador" from GTA SA lol.
Enjoy your time in Tennessee. I was in Clarksville earlier today.
Sounds like Scotty can talk himself into anything. Listen to that hood! Now that's solid!! :)
Ehhh ehh eh. 🙉 Oh No! There Goes My Dad Again. He’s out in My Driveway waving his arms around. Scotty Kilmer Used 🚙 Cars. Deals On Wheels. Calm Down Dad. Nah, It’ll Fine. This is who I Am. This what I Do. Ding. CJ
2:53 Clunk. Chevy tested, well made.
Nice El Camino! I was looking at one a few miles from where I live last year, was in great shape not a scratch on it, but only have one vehicle parking where I live.🚙
I personally own an 84 El Camino it Originally had 3.8 V6 And later upgraded to a Chevy 350 and I love the way it sounds and Drives more…Now my Wallet a Different Story Gas kills but it’s a Love I don’t mind paying for 👍🏼👍🏼
Letsss gooo
There is an engine compartment that was meant to be serviced-and no plastic cover.
I knew a guy back in the '90s that loved his, he'd use it to haul around his jetski!
It's gonna be one fun pastime to restore this joy! What a beauty! If it were mine, I'd refurbish the interior with an all black tone, put an old cassette deck, a cowboy hat in the head, and go cruise texas playing the good, the bad and the ugly soundtrack from a tape! hahaha
“Let’s face it, would you rather drive this kept up El Camino for 2.5k or new Chevy Spark for 15k”
If you put it like that, then yeah obviously the old Chevy
Growing up in 80s, I never liked those or the type of people who drove them..
They were like the Prius drivers are today...
My dad has a 68 el Camino and it gots rusted paint and still runs like a dream
Thanks for showing
I had the exact same year did exact same El Camino except mine was blue and I loved it
This is an awesome review do more with some old fashioned cars maybe some lowriders for your next review
In Australia we call them Ute's, short for Utility Vehicles and they were and still are very popular. You get the comfort of a car and the convenience of a light truck. Back in the day Ford, GM Holden and Chrysler all made Ute's but these days it's all Japanese pick-up trucks which are pretty darn good in their own right.
Hey Scotty can you do a video on Chevy Monte Carlo. Love those too.
