Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
Oh man. Back in the 70s to 80s I really wanted to V8 a Vega. I helped a buddy of mine build one up real nice. It looked factory. After a ride in his with a 4 speed and 350 I knew I had to have one. It was a wild ride. :lol: Well life happened and ya'll know the rest. I never did get it done. I later sold the 4sp tranny and parts I'd saved for the Vega.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
I used to buy repair and sell Vegas back in the '80s. One of them, I put a 305 SBC engine in. Bent the right rear lower control arm, which I replaced before I sold it. It was pretty fast. ;)

I can't find anything on my friend Jeff Tabler's Vega, "Hanky Panky II" 8 second car with my search all fouled up. He's a lover of the 406!

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
Drop a 215 aluminum Buick V8 in that white Vega then you would have something really different. I like it, and would cruise it around town for sure!

Those aluminum Buicks were a great swap for a small light car for affecting handling the least, if at all. That motor design got sold to British Leyland which they first used in The Rover cars. My dad had one he bought used that I drove. This was when I was 16, so ya, I tested it's handling a bit.... or should I say it's extreme limits? It was a p.o.s. (and an automatic) so he traded it back to the same dealer for a real clean, less sporty manual shift with whatever the other motor was. Pretty sure a 4 banger because Land Rovers never even got a 6 back then. Not as powerful, of course, but both cars hadled the sa,e. The Buick V8 may have been lighter.

Oh, did I post it already? It's not mine. You showed an actual photo and it has no rack. Now that my pictures are full-size I see they look like paintings... interesting.
I'm to the point I forget what I have and haven't posted. I don't think I already... |

Back to the thread for those "vehicles" folks like to debate are cars or trucks... BUT NOT HERE!! We are just looking at pictures and liking them. Peace on earth good wheels to all.
Those El Caminos get as tired of the debate as we people do. In fact, some get down right ANGRY!! |

I somehow like it a lot just for what it is. I'm a more hot rod than custom guy, always was since when I was a kid. But nostalgia dictates to me liking them now. Now there are some down right fugly vehicles out there, but that's a custom I'd like to have
I like it better than this one |

Wild! I do like the "visor" overhang treatment on the back window. I'd cruise that for sure!

The one before it is more my speed, but that chopped up and stuck back together funkiness would be neat to run around in.
This is exactly the kind of custom I like. One that people see, know they never saw one before, but have to ask "Is that custom?" or just as likely "Is that factory?". Someone did a killer job on this, from top to bottom and inside out. Maybe it was GM... a prototype? I love it, and I love '61s! |
