Carmaniac, the El Camino is what the Australians call a "UTE". This is the Australian Holden SSV UTE, but sold as a Vauxhall in Europe. The Ford Falcon, is another UTE, but I dont have so much time so I cannot provide a picture.

And A320_Pilot, that is one awesome picture of a 1969 Dodge Charger.

My favorite late 70's muscle car is the Dodge Magnum GT.

Ew, Australian ute. Looks like a Modern El Camino on drugs.

Really? This cars looks like a mixed of a pickup and a muscle car. The Falcon don't look like that:

Actually I was talking about this:

Image

This is the later model, KingAndy. But I love the Falcon you provided!

How about this, A320_Pilot?

Image

Not so over-styled now, right? It's the late Pontiac G8 UTE. So close to making the 5-th gen Firebird Trans-Am, but this was their last Firebird, made in 2002.

Image

UGH. Even though now non-GM related companies make the Camaro look like a Firebird, they make them look like the 1971 and the 1978 and more so it just looks stupid.

Oh, ok COOLGUY200.

The most of these cars are just a nice car that the car company extended it's backside and made it a pickup.

For exemple, the 70 El Camino SS, looks like a Chevelle SS pickup version.

And what is this, the Camaro pickup?

Image

Some of these cars are really cool, the 70's El Camino and the Ford Lightning SVT (not sure if the last one is one of these cars) are awsome car, but mainly the new ones look a bit ridiculous. Messing out pickups with fast cars is not nice - pickups are (usually) cool, fast cars are cool, but a fast-pickup-car is a bit strange, just like this name I invented lool :)

I really like the 2002 Pontiac Firebird (it was in my top 10 list of favourite cars somewhere in the forum, but I think in my last update I removed it).

Looks cool.

KingAndy, the last Firebirds didn't look like a muscle car. They looked like a Corvette that somehow morphed into a Camaro, but was so stupid it then thought it was a Pontiac. Camaro UTE? GM didn't make that. it's a customized car. The Camaro shares the G8's platform, which is an American made version of the Holden Commodore, which is called the SSV UTE in ute form, so you can make it a UTE.

And really, A320_Pilot and EnzoSkyline? Ok, maybe this?

Image

Behold, the 2006 Dodge Ram SRT-10. Imagine if they still made it.
