I would drive it. Pretty cool, but I also liked my 76 Camino SS.

 

I've always liked that hood.

 

Someone posted a link to a similar car on Ebay recently. I think it's pretty cool. There are a lot of cars Olds never built but should have.

Photos of this car have been on 442.com for over a decade. Personally I think it would be better if it had used the wagon quarters and tailgate.

 

I agree. But someone did a lot of work to make this car. I would like to see it in person.

 

Greg, I updated your post. Your comment got lost in the quote.

 

I think the front clip would be a simple swap,but I agree someone went to some trouble on the back end,but it sure looks good. If it were mine, I'd want emblems or a script that said "OldsAmino",
And a "455" under the hood + Positraction would be nice. Larry

 

It's not. The fender lines are totally different from the ElCo lines and don't match up. You need to swap the front clip, doors (which need to be ElCo doors skinned with Cutlass skins), and fabricate rear fenders.

 

Thanks Joe ,for the good information. You may have saved me a lot of time and money.It was just another one of my "Senior Moment Thoughts ." Larry

The doors for this particular car were sourced from Cutlass' for the sake of eliminating vent windows found on the El Camino. The door jambs were also sourced from a Cutlass. The dash structure from an Olds was also installed to the shell.

 

Like it. I have seen pictures of this car for a number of years and always thought it was well done.

 

Like. But agreed would look better with wagon butt.

Friend had a pic of a supposedly factory done Pontiac version. As we talked about it I said seems that Chev and Pontiac could have both been given pickup versions and combined with Buick and Olds Skywagons for a very cool foursome.

 

Someone has put a lot of time and money into this car (truck?), and it looks right.
Not what I would do, but it's the free world we're living in, so applause for a fine job.

Roger.

 

I'm not a fan of the Ford Ranchero's or the El-camino's they call them girly trucks here.
Although I'm liking this, maybe because it wears Olds parts .
