1987 GMC Caballero

Extremely rare, unique, and a part of automotive heritage from days past, the GMC Caballero is a vehicle from an era where experimentation was expected, and this was the cutting edge. The result of musing how a car and pickup truck fused together would look. Thanks to it, identifying a 1987 GMC Caballero when you see one is a lot easier than actually finding one. Although competing with vehicles such as the El Camino, the GMC Caballero successfully garnered a dedicated fan base. Now with its rarity, it is a great collector's automobile. This Caballero's current owner reports a new engine with less than 2,000 miles on the clock, further adding to the desirability of this particular example. So why not go for it and welcome this rare beauty to your garage?

Exterior and Interior

The 1987 GMC Caballero is an excellent combination of pickup truck and car. The practicality of having the massive bed in the back of the vehicle without compromising on overall size was an enormous feat. The boxy design of the car is reminiscent of the classic '80s design language, and the orange exterior helps sell the flamboyancy of that era. Thick tires, a square design with sharp 90-degree angles, and minimal logs or branding on the car help it maintain a clean aesthetic and look. The exterior, which is in good condition, certainly is a head-turner. Inside, you'll be welcomed by a gray interior, which is great to help relax the eyes after all the excitement from glossing over the exterior of this vehicle. Being a mix between a car and a truck, the Caballero features a more utilitarian approach to its interior design. The original aesthetic of the Caballero's interior has been preserved with a distinct lack of any major technology, leaving little to no distractions from the Caballero's main attraction, its engine, and practicality.

Engine

Much like many of the vehicles of its era, the V8 is a highlight of this 1987 GMC Caballero. According to the current owner, this particular vehicle sports a JAG 350 ci, V8 engine that delivers all of its power to the road using an automatic transmission, providing ample power to the wheels.
