1983 GMC Caballero

A rarer counterpart to the El Camino, this 1983 GMC Caballero offers the perfect blend of car and truck for the right owner. The Caballero has car-like driving characteristics, while offering you truck-like utility, with a bed that is most likely going to be lower in height than a truck bed for easier access. The blue paint pairs nicely with American Racing wheels, giving it a clean restomod look. El Caminos usually draw plenty of attention at car shows, but when people realize they're looking at a GMC, their curiosity grows even stronger. The interior keeps things simple yet stylish. Blue cloth bench seating, blue carpeting, and two-tone blue-and-black door panels blend well with the matching dashboard. A tilt steering wheel with a column shifter sits in front of the stock-configured gauge cluster, which includes a speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure, temperature, fuel, and volts. For modern convenience, an Alpine AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo with Bluetooth keeps you connected. Rounding out the cabin features are heat and A/C, power windows, power locks, and cruise control. Under the hood, the Caballero is powered by a second-generation LT1 V8 with electronic fuel injection. The engine delivers smooth horsepower and torque throughout the power range, making it ideal for cruising. It's paired with a 700R4 automatic transmission, known for its deep first gear ratio that offers strong off-the-line acceleration. Power is sent to a 10-bolt rear axle, while coil springs, shocks, and sway bars are implemented on both the front and rear for stability. The 17-inch American Racing wheels are fitted with front power disc brakes for confident stopping power. And when you stomp on the throttle, the dual exhaust with Dynomax mufflers delivers a satisfying rumble.

With its restomod styling and mild yet capable drivetrain, this Caballero makes for a great cruiser. Call us today!
