Randall “Pink” Floyd: 1975 Chevrolet El Camino

The starting quarterback and BMOC at Lee High School seems to be having an existential crisis about his role in life.

In 1975 you had some engine options with the El Cam; 250ci inline-six, 350ci V8, 400ci V8 or a 454ci V8. Due to the era of new emission laws power was down from the previous Chevy engine era, the 454 produced 215hp, but Pink’s El Cam still rumbled and could haul multiple statues in KISS makeup.

Side note: Did we ever figure out if an El Cam is a car or a truck? I think Socrates would be hard pressed to draw a conclusion in this debate.
