You can haul 5 refrigerators in it.
NHRA thought it was a truck for 60 years.
It was a truck when we set the national record.
It was a truck when we won class at INDY several times.
I wonder why today they discovered that it is not really a truck

We spent all day in the barn with discussions from GM representatives even. The brochures were brought out from 1987. I can only speak from my experience with Bob Shaw but it was determined at the time that it was sold under the truck line.
I get this means nothing to the masses as these cars are considered a nuisance and we have taken way to many class wins (in combo classes) and number one qualifying positions.
The wishy washy nature of the decisions being retracted or changed by the tech department is going to make it hard for many more people than just the few el Camino owners. I see many more retractions of parts in very common combinations coming. At that point it won’t be so funny when superseded parts from A-G cars start being retracted from the book being common place.
