    As a big fan of the TV show My Name is Earl, this warms my cold heart. (the protagonists drive and old beaten-up El Camino)
    Beautiful car with a gorgeous paint job. These flames are really beautiful!

    Hopefully they remembered to put a drain plug in the back , since they sealed it up ?🤔 the back end is pretty much worthless if you can’t pull the tail gate down .

    Here in Australia it was know as the Holden HJ Ute (utility for U.S) Earlier models of the El Camino are based on Australia's previous production before the HQ series. These would then go on to be Exported to South Africa and some are still in the USA today but very rare.
    Such names of the models were the famous Kingswood and Belmont series.
    Few differences between the Australian production model and the El Camino but an awesome piece of history none the less!

    Counts Kustoms does some nice work. I get that they have a signature style like the the guys on American chopper had but 9 out of 10 restorations gotta have flames or some goofy cartoonist flare. Some gems are best given a more Suttle dress.
