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.
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).
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?
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 .

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 😂
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.
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!
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.
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😎
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!
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!
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
$2300? I'd like to know where you can find one that isn't total rust for that price. That one was probably brown and repainted "resale red" going by the interior parts that weren't changed. Lots of potential.
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.
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 👍🏼👍🏼
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.
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
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 😁
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
Had a 1973 El Camino in 1986 that was rusted through from towing, launching boats in the bay. Had a factory tow package ,big yolk driveshaft from the junkyard and New u joints. Bought it for 50 bucks, sold it for 400 bucks for parts. Had a 1973 Dodge dart and a 1973 Pontiac LeMans. 1973 Plymouth satalite, 1976 Cadillac El Dorado, 1975 Buick Electra limited, 1974 Chrysler Newport, 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1978 Plymouth Volare, 1977 Caprice classic , 1969 Coronet 440, 1979 Lincoln continental. I fixed , drove all these cars and then raced and wrecked most in figure 8, enduro races, demolition derbys.
My first car when i was 16 was a 78 el cam. Now 26 finally got my second one ive had my fare share of new cars but ill take the el cam every day it goes every where in P.R. and gets all the looks and questions from all age groups
“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
Just bought a 1978 El camino with a 350. Car was from Alabama, then came to Ohio and its virtually rust free, plus has zero bondo. Paint isn't great and interior needs work, but at the price I got it, I couldnt find anything within 500 miles in it's condition for double what I paid. My favorite cars ever made.
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.
I restored a 76 for my daughter. The right hand floor gets a lot of heat from the catalytic converter. It's the only part on hers that rusted out. 5 MPH bumpers didn't do much for their looks though!
I bought a 1973 too! I have a Weiland intake and a Street Warrior Holley carb & sidepipes. Anything under 4000 lbs isn't bad. New Lambos weigh more than that.

They don't care about those things now 😢
Yeah m it’s awesome man

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).

Yes, but it is warm rain 😉

With the windows down lol.
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

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.

Had a 1973 Dodge dart and a 1973 Pontiac LeMans. 1973 Plymouth satalite, 1976 Cadillac El Dorado, 1975 Buick Electra limited, 1974 Chrysler Newport, 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1978 Plymouth Volare, 1977 Caprice classic , 1969 Coronet 440, 1979 Lincoln continental. I fixed , drove all these cars and then raced and wrecked most in figure 8, enduro races, demolition derbys.
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 🤣
Scotty even working in the Rain 🌧☂️ for us 😁👍🏻💕
I very badly want to restore one!
i want one like that. also, 350 should be more than plenty.
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 mom once surprised my dad with a 1969 El Camino 350 with a manual transmission. I loved it when I was a kid.
Can you say, "over spray"?
My first car when i was 16 was a 78 el cam. Now 26 finally got my second one ive had my fare share of new cars but ill take the el cam every day it goes every where in P.R. and gets all the looks and questions from all age groups
Ryder's car "Picador" from GTA SA lol.
You can replace the water pump on them in less than one hour. Try doing that on a front wheel drive car !
i never realized the exhaust was in the shape of the chevy emblem 🤣
@Pandem R32 Skyline: Aftermarket ........
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 :)
There is an engine compartment that was meant to be serviced-and no plastic cover.
Should be around 200hp with the open filter, aluminum intake, and dual exhaust. Yeah, not a screamer but lots of low end torque and sounds awesome.
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😂
Here in the frozen wasteland of MI. that's a LIKE NEW car! Always loved these.
“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
Just bought a 1978 El camino with a 350. Car was from Alabama, then came to Ohio and its virtually rust free, plus has zero bondo. Paint isn't great and interior needs work, but at the price I got it, I couldnt find anything within 500 miles in it's condition for double what I paid. My favorite cars ever made.
Growing up in 80s, I never liked those or the type of people who drove them..
They were like the Prius drivers are today...
Nice to hear the son has caught the same talent.... Thnx as Usual !
Last time I was this early I had to buy new pants
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.
2:53 Clunk. Chevy tested, well made.
I have a 77 El Camino I paid $900 for with a 350.I love that Beast and it runs great!
Letsss gooo
I restored a 76 for my daughter. The right hand floor gets a lot of heat from the catalytic converter. It's the only part on hers that rusted out. 5 MPH bumpers didn't do much for their looks though!
My dad has a 68 el Camino and it gots rusted paint and still runs like a dream
I bought a 1973 too! I have a Weiland intake and a Street Warrior Holley carb & sidepipes. Anything under 4000 lbs isn't bad. New Lambos weigh more than that.
