The minimalist version of early drag racing. Strip everything off except what you need to control it.

I don't remember Pontiac making an El Lemans Or any variant of the Chevy El Camino So unless this is a special order I would just
about bet this a an El Camino with a Pontiac Lemans front clip and period correct Pontiac wheels.

 

All I know is when I see it...

 

Maybe it's a stick shift just for your enjoyment !

 

It was a 1 of 1 GM built car...A design experiment by some Pontiac engineers who felt they were missing out on the 'sport truck'/utility market that Chev and Ford had at the time. It has a Pontiac (350/auto, iirc) drivetrain, front clip, and rocker trim from a standard Le Mans, along with the Rallye II wheels. I don't remember the interior 100%, but I think it was a column shift, bench seat, and Tempest/LeMans dash. All black.

It didn't pan out, but a couple of years later, Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealers got one to call their own, in the form of the GMC Sprint.

 

Well I was very close to being right. I never thought the front clip from a lemans would be a direct bolt
on to an El camino body. Although both vehicles were very similar in size.

If it's a 1 of 1 then it's worth a big ole hunk o money....

 

You'd be surprised just how easy it is to swap parts across the entire GM A and G body lines (within the same generation). I've always dreamed of building a Grand National-Camino...

Actually, it is a bolt on...at least that year. The GM plant in Arlington, Tx. used to build the Malibu/Tempest/Cutlass/Skylark in the same assembly line. Although the sides were slightly different, the doors, and front clips would interchange pretty easily.

 

I remember seeing someone need to do a roof swap on a Colonnade GM car and was surprised by the abundance of different vehicles they had to pick from for a matching candidate.
