Tag Archives: Hot-rod

With Hot-rod tag we meant all custom or classic vintage cars, trucks, pickups, mopars, muscles from US and EU. But we are aware what Hot-rod term stands for- Hot rods are typically old, classic American cars with large engines modified for linear speed. The origin of the term “hot rod” is unclear. Roadsters were the cars of choice because they were light, were easy to modify, and could be bought for a low price. The term became commonplace in the 1930s or 1940s as the name of a car that had been “hopped up” by modifying the engine in various ways to achieve higher performance.

The GTX was to be an exceptional blend of style and performance. What differentiated it from a normal Belvedere was its special grille and rear fascia, shared with the Satellite, chrome “pit stop” fuel filler cap and optional racing stripes. For the performance aspect of the vehicle, a heavy duty suspension system was made standard. Standard too was Plymouth’s 440 cu in (7.2 L) V8 called the “Super Commando 440”. The engine was rated at 375 hp (280 kW). Buyers in 1967 could pay an extra US$546 and replace the 440 with Chrysler’s 426 cu in (7.0 L) Hemi. The 426 was nicknamed the “Elephant.”

El camino in wikipedia:
Chevrolet El Camino is a coupĂ© utility/pickup vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet between 1959â€“60 and 1964-87.

Introduced in the 1959â€“1960 model years in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero pickup, its first run lasted only two years. Production resumed for the 1964â€“1977 model years based on the Chevelle platform, and continued for the 1978â€“1987 model years based on the GM G-body platform.

Although based on corresponding Chevrolet car lines, the vehicle is classified and titled in North America as a truck. GMC’s badge engineered El Camino variant, the Sprint, was introduced for the 1971 model year. Renamed Caballero in 1978, it was also produced through the 1987 model year.
