Chevy El Camino SS
The El Camino has a storied history in the Chevrolet lineup. This car was just about as unique as can be. The problem with the 1980s models was the lackluster 5.0L V8 GM was stuffing into just about every vehicle in the lineup. The 5.0L V8 was dubbed the “high-output” engine but with all of the emissions gear strapped on it was anything but. Its styling was also a lot uglier than the previous generations of the model as well (via Hemmings).
The 1980s were unfortunately the end of the road for the El Camino and GM canceled the line by the end of the decade. There was nothing performance minded about the 1980s El Camino and it showed. The 1980s model was not the classic muscle car that drivers remembered and the polarizing body style didn’t catch on.
