Mel87 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 I am sure people have seen this one before but... (Aerotech III) Quote
WrathOfSocrus Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 I found this pic a while back. I'm not crazy about the spoiler or the side skirts but the front bumper would be sweet to find. Quote
tornado_735 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 I am sure people have seen this one before but... (Aerotech III) I didn't see this until fairly recently, but the rear end of this car looks completely bad-ass. Quote
ptcfast2 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) I present to you...the Lumina Z34 Camino! Lest we forget the Lumina SR2 concept as well... Edited November 6, 2011 by ptcfast2 Quote
Mel87 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Indeed it does. You know I just can't even imagine what Oldsmobile would have to offer if it was still around. All the innovations brought to cars from them, and these wicked concepts from them, I looked up all Olds concept cars and I tell you, their old slogan "The escape machines... Escape from the ordinary" follows along with their design. GM made a big mistake letting Olds and Pontiac go... Quote
tornado_735 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 GM made a big mistake letting Olds and Pontiac go... Shit yes they did. Quote

94 olds vert Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 I present to you...the Lumina Z34 Camino! want!!! A w-body El-Camino would of been all kinds of win. At least I think so. Quote
Z34guy Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Found this one recently via facebook. and here's some more. 2000 Chevrolet Impala SS concept: 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Pro-Street Concept: and in this video, the 1991 Monte Carlo Concept: [video=youtube;l00kOQpaVDY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l00kOQpaVDY Quote
GOT2B GM Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 I would rock that El Lumino. I see am old el camino rear window, Fiero style sail panels and Northstar exhaust tips. Quote
Psych0matt Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Neons originally were to have 2 stroke engines? weird... Quote
ptcfast2 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) So GM abandoned the Pro-Street model and left us with the disgrace the 1.5 Gens were to the Monte name? Here's an article on the Pro-Street 1995 Monte: http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/42647_1995_chevrolet_monte_carlo_v8/ Oh, and here's the LED Sled version of the 1995 Monte next to the Pro Street version. I think? a Lumina 1.5 gen concept is in far left background - might be an Impala, can't really see it though: Edited November 6, 2011 by ptcfast2 Whoops! Quote
AMP Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Posted November 6, 2011 want!!! A w-body El-Camino would of been all kinds of win. At least I think so. I would have to agree i think it looks pretty damn sweet, someone needs to try and make one. Quote
Cully77 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 If somebody has the front view of this one floating around please post... I used to have it but I can't seem to find it now. Quote
Luminator9c3 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 want!!! A w-body El-Camino would of been all kinds of win. At least I think so. If it was front-wheel-drive, nobody would have bought it. Like, at all. Quote
94 olds vert Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 If it was front-wheel-drive, nobody would have bought it. Like, at all. That makes me the 1%. Quote
AMP Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Posted November 6, 2011 That makes me the 1%. i would have to agree i would have even if it was fwd the Monte went fwd and they still sold. Quote
Mater Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 If it was front-wheel-drive, nobody would have bought it. Like, at all. the Dodge Rampage disagrees with this post. Quote
Luminator9c3 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) That makes me the 1%. i would have to agree i would have even if it was fwd the Monte went fwd and they still sold. Well... it would absolutely suck ass for hauling anything. With the drive wheels at the front of the car and not underneath the bed, the car would just be a novelty item and would have little functional purpose. The reason w-bodies like the Monte Carlo sell are because there is a market for entry-level FWD sports cars in America. If GM were to make an El Camino-ish car, it would make more sense to put it on a RWD platform like that of the G8 (or whatever new RWD platform they are going to use for the new Impala and Cadillac DTS). Not to mention, front-wheel-drive is just weird and awkward in the first place. Although, I realize I'm totally on the wrong forum to be saying something like that Edited November 6, 2011 by Luminator9c3 Quote
94 olds vert Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 It doesn't matter me to that it couldn't haul things. It's purley designed for the looks and nostalgia of the vehicle. Besides I'm a huge first gen fan. Quote

94 olds vert Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 well technically GM does produce a el camino called the Holden Ute which we dont have wish we did thou it would be cool. I've seen those over here. Some converted to left hand side drive and others still original right hand drive. Quote
AMP Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Posted November 6, 2011 I've seen those over here. Some converted to left hand side drive and others still original right hand drive. I believe they sell them in the middle east and i know that the rwd Luminas (aka holden commodore or pontiac g8) are left hand drive. Quote
