Pics Of The Grand Camino

Finally I have some pics of the Grand Camino to post. The problem has been my lack of knowledge on how to get pics on the forum. Thank you John (Red Regal T). Since these pics were taken the car got a major do over to include a stage II engine, big stuff 3, front mount inner cooler, 70 mm TB and 70 GTQ turbo.

grand camino

The car is basically done. I have a small list of things that I would like to do. Other than that just drive it on weekends and take it to shows.

Grand Camino

I have been a friend to Al for a few years now, but this has nothing to do with the fact that he has built one of the coolest vehicles I have ever seen. The amount of work that went into modifying the GN front onto the Camino body, the stage two engine project, and the quality of the paint are all tremendous. We go to local car shows, and it wins sometimes. It should win all the time!

Beautiful car! its extremely deceptive from the front end, definitely not expecting a bed back there. not hijacking at all, but have you seen the xcamino? Duane Heckman built a '70 GSX camino! a photoshoot with the pair would be freakin sweet! here's the link.

What a great looking cartruck! What a great imagination to come up with something that Buick/Gm should have done! Couldn't do that with Photoshop!
