The El Camino never caught on with consumers when it was new. It was sort of that novelty car that a few drivers drove to get noticed. With the abundance of horsepower and seemingly rare SS model, the El Camino was a captivating vehicle. GM would keep the El Camino around for decades, but the model never became a sales success. The styling and the cramped cabin made for a car that wasn’t practical (via Car Gurus).

Needless to say, El Camino did well in the afterlife, though. This car has become a high-level collector’s item and there are very few to go around. The El Camino is highly coveted by performance car builders and those who wanted the car as a kid. Now these people can afford to buy their dream cars and El Caminos are being snatched up left and right.
