The El Camino 442

You want an El Camino, you want a 442.... why not just combine the two:

The 'W30 Elky' was built several years ago by Murphy Walker, a member of the North Texas Olds Club.

Not a big El Camino fan either, but that's pretty cool!

I think they both look pretty cool..I like the 70' better. The silver looks like a lot of time and planning went into it. I also like the mullett reference...

I know the work it took to make that but I am not crazy about how they finished off the rear. I would have done it using wagon bumper and tail lights and not slope the gate angle so forward. Basicly look at a Chevelle wagon and and Elcamino to see what the GM engineers did. Then copy the theme in an Olds version. OK I am done armchair building for now

To see this car on display and know all the deatil work that went into it is awesome. Sucker has a well-built 455, and it will smoke the tires, from now on, I think! Really a beautiful example of "what might have been".

I think it started as a G M C Sprint? The rear quarters came from me, toot toot! I love this car/truck.
