I saw him fire it up in Nashville and totally launch one of the zoomie baffles!
Landed between two other cars.

Yea.. I was checkin it out at CB06. It's not exactly what I would look for in a classic ElCamino but.... Certainly a lot of engineering went into that truck bed, to make that thing move. I would have no idea what went into the car, but the "buy it now" seems a little steep. I guess he has to find the right buyer to shell out the kind of cash he's looking for.
I think I remember him wining best "something" at the Sat afternoon awards cermony???

I think he got the "People's Choice" award or something similar.

Perfect for Laugh-In / Artie Johnson: "Veery interesting...but schtupid"
I'll be surprised if that gets even one bid. I can see it now: a lucky out of state bidder wins the car. Not really being setup for the highway it must be delivered via a car carrier. When the car carrier gets the ebay link and pics to help judge special shipping charges they instead decline the transport job. After getting the circus car home the DMV follies begin. As an out of state car the DMV asks to see the car to verify the I.D. information. A bug eyed DMV inspector refers the car to the Highway Patrol. The inspecting sheriff, even if he really likes cars, is uncomfortable signing off on this car for street and higway driving - so it gets the third degree and about half a dozen sheriffs doing their best to prove their knowledge of the vehicle code.
Presume that I am completely wrong on all of that and it is a cakewalk to get the car transported and licensed to the new owner. Now what do you do? Yeah, you can start hitting all the car shows and cruises - but wouldn't you like to use some of that power for fun? Well, on your first trip to the drags the tech inspector tells you that you need an exhibition license to run that car!
As much as I dig well crafted hot rods, for me that one would wear thin quickly.

If I had the money I would buy it. It has lotsa space in the front for storage.
