FlyMX93 08-06-2003, 07:47 PM interesting...... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2426456512&category=6153\ so was it origenally a monte carlo, or origenally an elcamino? camino81 08-06-2003, 08:42 PM I like the full name he lists: THIS IS A CLASSIC 1981 ELCAMINO SS EL MONTE MONTE CARLO CONQUISTA.. FULL SIZE. boy i'd hate to have to say that whenever someone asked me what it was. 87SS 08-07-2003, 07:20 AM Well it sure looks like they did a good job fitting the Monte front clip on there, but I didn't think the door where the same...hmmmm 87ElCamino 08-07-2003, 07:22 AM The doghouse and the doors are from an 81 Monte Carlo. The side windows and the rest of the body is a 5th generation El Camino. The mirrors are from an 86-87 Elky or an F-body. It's someones project that they've pieced together. I've seen this done before with Monte parts. It's also been done with parts from a Grand National, Gran Prix, and Regal. :mrgreen: acauth1 08-07-2003, 03:44 PM Eh, hosers, this is a Canadian Made version! Doh! What BS. :oops: Howard 08-07-2003, 08:13 PM Well, having lived in Canada for 47 years I can assure you it is not "made in Canada!...as the VIN indicates 1GCCW80H3BD408925 1st digit 1= MADE IN USA W80= El Camino "CANADIAN MADE VERSION AND IS FULL SIZE" BS! doesn't look like a B body to me. And as you can see from this site.... http://www.beaterz.com/ they can come from all over the world. You can't let one guys bad taste speak for a nation. :? 2-Elkys 08-08-2003, 11:27 AM but why??? to each their own i guess. PROSOUTH 08-09-2003, 06:58 PM I too have seen many variations of this concept. The doors and front matches and the qtrs are not a problem. I will have to say that the grand National that was done some years ago was really a nice piece. It was a complete change-over from a GN hit in the rear as I remember and it was a first class job. Hmmmm I wouldn't mind having it today myself. Jim mistaconquista 08-18-2003, 06:44 AM If you want to see a neat looking prototype, look at this. It was created in 1988 to be I guess the 6th gen elky. It looks like a 93-97 camaro with el camino. mistaconquista 08-18-2003, 06:45 AM Oops, it might help if you have the link. http://www.geocities.com/elcamino_1972/xt2.html | ||
