Are El Caminos Trucks, or Muscle cars?
Now, if you want to enter an El Camino in a truck race, they may deny it because they consider it as a 'Muscle Car,' and if you try to enter it as a muscle car, they may deny it because they consider it a 'Truck.' You decide.
To be fair though, on the certificate and manual, it IS registered as a TRUCK.
Please put down your opinions on the matter.

Now if you wanna get fancy it is officially classed as a "Coupe utility Muscle car" Cheverolet themselves class it as a muscle car so I consider it a muscle car.
Putting my Aussie hat on..

- As it should be... lol. The body style originated in Australia.[6] It was the result of a 1932 letter from the wife of a farmer in Victoria, Australia, to Ford Australia asking for "a vehicle to go to church in on a Sunday and which can carry our pigs to market on Mondays". In response, Ford designer Lew Bandt developed a vehicle to meet the client's request. Commencing in October 1933, with assistance from draftsman A. Scott,[7] Bandt used the passenger compartment and roof from the Ford V8 five-window coupe and extended the rear section using a single fixed side panel on each side, with a hinged tailgate at the rear to create the load carrying compartment. The model was released in July 1934 as the coupe utility.[7] In his book Early Australian Automotive Design: The First Fifty Years, Australian motoring historian Norm Darwin suggests the idea was not a big leap in design from existing roadster utility models produced by various manufacturers as early as 1924.[8] Darwin also suggests that the idea was being developed by other manufacturers simultaneously, because General Motors-Holden released Bedford and Chevrolet coupe utilities in September 1934,[9] only two months after Ford, with the main difference being the use of the three-window coupe roof on the GM-H products. Other manufacturers were quick to follow, with coupe utilities based on various passenger and light truck chassis.[10] — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
My opinion, it was designed as Light weight Truck with a car ride I think it should go either way if you wanna run it in a truck race run it muscle car race run it The best builders gonna come to the top, and that's my opinion
I consider it a Muscle Car, and you have the Camaro SS, Chevelle SS and El Camino SS. Also, produced by HW in the Muscle Mania series
Coupe, Utility but the only real opinion that matters is what the host decides!
