The quirky Chevy El Camino raised quite a few eyebrows when the model made it to the market in 1959. From the front half, it was a coupe. Then, the rear half blended into a pickup truck with a full cargo bed on offer. The type was called the coupe utility. Most importantly, it didn’t have the typical body-on-frame stance of a pickup truck. For example, the passenger cabin and the truck bed flowed into each other like one smooth silhouette. That’s because the Chevy El Camino was based on car platforms. Initially, the Biscayne served as its basis, then the Chevelle and finally GM’s G-Body platform. Today, we’ve got a 1979 Chevrolet El Camino which hails from the fifth generation of this well-known nameplate. The fifth generation was, sadly, the last, terminating production in 1987, so this vehicle is quite a definitive classic to own and drive. Bearing a decent 115,638 miles, you can see that this Madisonville, Kentucky-based coupe utility has led an interesting life.
Dressed in white, the quirky design of a coupe utility is perfectly embodied by this 1979 Chevrolet El Camino, showcasing the interesting manner in which the vehicle presents itself. The cab has a leaning forward stance, as does the front end, while the rear is all pickup truck bed, in matching white. Then, you’ve got your typical classic cues like chrome bumpers and white-striped tires. The red interior of this 1979 Chevrolet El Camino consists of two seats that form a single bench, and it comes with some neat creature comforts. You’ve got air conditioning, a push-button radio, a column shifter, and plenty of old-school charm. There’s nothing quite like a Seventies interior and this car perfectly embodies that spirit.
Powering this 1979 Chevrolet El Camino is a 267ci small-block V8 which made 125 horsepower when new. If that seems low, remember that this was the Malaise Era where engines were severely strangled. In the face of that fact, 125hp for a coupe utility is more than enough, and you won’t hold up traffic on the streets. You’ve also got an automatic transmission to make driving even easier.
Chevy’s El Camino is the result of what happens when a sports coupe and a pickup truck have a one-night stand. What you see here in this Emerald Green 1983 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod is the results of five generations of this quirky pairing, that began in 1959, when Chevy’s engineers decided to combine the unibody construction and two-door passenger cabin of a sports coupe with the utility of a pickup truck – hence the name of the segment, Coupe Utility. Today’s Coupe Utility comes from Ardmore, Oklahoma and is quite extensively resto-modded. It’s got a potent 383 Stroker under the hood paired with an automatic gearbox, a refreshed interior, some catchy wheels plus more.
The most popular Coupe Utility, the Chevy El Camino came in 1959 and was made until 1987. It wasn’t the first Coupe Utility, rather Chevy brought it out to fight Ford’s Ranchero. So what is this Coupe Utility business, then? Well, you take a regular passenger vehicle, typically a two-door station wagon, and chop off everything behind the front seats. Then, you make it into a pickup truck bed back there. That’s the difference between a pickup truck and a coupe utility; unlike the former’s body-on-frame construction, a coupe utility is basically a monocoque construction vehicle with an integrated cargo bed behind the passenger cabin. You can see it best in our photos, where this second-generation 1967 Chevrolet El Camino seamlessly blends in a Chevy Chevelle-styled front end with a distinctive, exposed cargo bed out back. This particular vehicle is now available in Tucson, Arizona having undergone a comprehensive makeover.
Muscle cars are wonderful machines; they are the pinnacle of loud-and-proud all-American performance at full throttle.

When you want fuss-free off-roading with dependability and ample ability, a proper SUV like this 1971 Ford Bronco is perfect. Dressed in a nice Mint And White color theme, this simple off-roader doesn’t come with fussy electronics or myriad off-road modes and settings to navigate through. Instead, it relies on a good old 302ci V8, an honest manual gearbox and a proper four-wheel drive system with transfer case. It’s currently up for grabs in Larkspur, Colorado, bearing just under 49,000 miles on the odometer. Plus, the first-generation Bronco is a definitive classic. It redefined the American Sport Utility Vehicle and was made for twelve years before the second generation came to be. And, let’s be honest, it’s one awesome little thing to drive around town too.
Now here’s a golden oldie of the off-road community. This red and white 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ45 is a long wheelbase pickup variant that’s perfect for someone who’s a fan of classic pickups, Japanese vehicles and off-roading. It’s now available in Miami with 124,000 miles on the clock, but you wouldn’t guess based on appearance alone. Yup, this pristine machine comes with a 3.6-liter straight six diesel engine under the hood, a manual gearbox, and a part-time four-wheel drive system. Thanks to its body on frame construction, it’s pretty versatile in the rough stuff too. Indeed, this vehicle’s clean and fresh appearance may lead you to believe otherwise, but this is one beauty that can turn into a beast if needed.
