Default Utes in America

I spotted this today near my house. I waived the guy down and chatted. He said it's a salvage title ls1 goat with the bed of a Ute from Australia. Guy said there's someone making them with a G8 front end as well.

needs the hood scoops and something else to make it not so plain GTO looking. Love the concept. I'd rock a g8 one

I think they are cool and like the idea of Chevy badging it as an El Camino. The Lumina SS front end would work perfect.

Interesting... I always wondered what a modern El Camino would look like.
