I always liked the El Caminos & Rancheros. I think the Coronet line would have been the perfect car to do this. I had a 72 Coronet wagon that had me thinking why Chrysler never did this. Do you guys thing they should have made one & what line would be your choice?

I'm not crazy about this one but may be one of you like it.

I didn't mind the actual Rampage but that one doesn't do much for me.  The 2nd gen bodylines just don't lend themselves well to being messed with.  There was a 1st gen style one that was making the rounds a few years ago.  It wasn't something I would have likely done but I didn't hate it either.  I have pics somewhere but by the time I find them someone will post theirs I'm sure.

That 71 300 that got morphed into a 300-H "thing that never was" is right at the top of my "Dang, I want that car!" list.

For some reason the 1967 mock-up looks pretty cool.  :yesnod:  It could've done well against Ford and Chevy. :icon_smile_wink:

My first "drivable" car was a el camino. My first project (read rustpile) was a 59 chevy which as ya'll know was the first year el camino. So of course I've always loved them (so much so I even put up with rancheros lol). But yea if chrysler had their head straight we would indeed have a badass mopar ute here in the us.

What Chrysler should have done was make the '62 Valiant into a half truck. Now that would have been cool.  :icon_smile_cool:

The B-body design as an "elky" just doesn't work for me.  :rotz:

They did, but it wasn't as cool as the Ranchero, El Camino, or the GMC Sprint...  :Twocents:

They have a big following today and bring good $$$, too. :shruggy:
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

yea..no kidding...even rough ones are big $$ up here...I was looking into a Rampage a while back...if I got one, I would pull the nose off my Shadow and put it on the rampage. The original nose on the Rampage id butt ugly, but the rest of the little truck is kinda cool to me
