1982 Chevrolet El Camino

The 1982, through the final 1987, El Camino sported a new frontal appearance with a crosshatch grille flanked by quad rectangular headlights. New under the hood for 1982 was a 105 horsepower 5.7 liter diesel V8, which was also offered in Chevrolet's full size cars. The Choo Choo Customs conversion with an aerodynamic Monte Carlo SS style front end was offered from 1983 to 1987. The sister Chevrolet Malibu sedan and wagon, from which the El Camino took its styling, were still sold in 1982, as they would be through 1983.
