![]() First off those wheels are from a 86-88 MonteCarloSS. ![]() I'm guessing, no I'm saying this truck is from the year of Orwell. Everything you wrote about this truck is incorrect. I had to wait 20 years to be the only man to run a G-Body in a Solo2 National event. This Caballero or any other 78-87 CarTruck doesn't run on the wagons 108 inch wheelbase. I could only run locally because of Francis' cousins whinning about the 117" wheelbase being to long according to the SCCA rulebook.BTW clearify your statement. I was probably the very first dude on the 3rd stone to race one in Solo2. Three pedals and a bench seat.1978 was the only year for that combo. I bought a SuperSport brand new in 1978 when the new down sized body debuted in late 77.LM1 350 with a four gear. Longtime ElCamino and Caballero owner here. It’s not as rare as the SD396 Beaumont (think Canadian SS396 Chevelle with a Pontiac nose and a GTO dashboard) that I saw a few weeks earlier at a concours, but still rare enough to collect and treasure, and the current owner and his family certainly treasure the car. After more than 25 years, those 2,795 Caballeros have to have had their numbers significantly reduced by the tin worm. Because the exposed bed is integral to the rest of the body, utes tend to rust quicker than comparable sedans. Only 2,795 GMC Caballeros were made for the ’86 model year, compared to 21,508 El Caminos. This is a fairly rare car, at least compared to its Chevy cousins. GM switched production for the El Camino & Caballero to south of the border for the 1985 model year, where they were made until the model was discontinued after the ’87 MY. All that Spanish is appropriate for this vehicle, which was made in Mexico. This ’86 is an Amarillo model, a mid level trim line equivalent to the El Camino’s Conquista package, which mostly consisted of two tone paint and a badge above the glove box.
