![]() There's just one bid with almost five days to go and reserved hasn't been meet. The Caballero is being offered on eBay by "bigousedcars" and bidding starts at $10,000. Most likely this truck clocked more than that since 1979. However, there's no word as to whether this is accurate. All instruments work accordingly and the odometer shows almost 9,000 miles. The red upholstery complements the exterior nicely, while the white seaming adds a vintage, 1970s vibe to the cabin. The interior looks rather excellent, with minor traces of wear. The Turbo 350 transmission reportedly "shifts out great." The Caballero was also fitted with a long list of brand-new parts, including fuel pump, water pump, radiator, and exhaust system. Assuming it's the 454 big-block that Chevy offered in the 1970s, it should generate at least 300 horsepower. There isn't a lot of info about it in the ad, but the seller says it was installed in 2016 and it's mostly stock. However, the truck isn't entirely stock.Īlthough it was originally fitted with a 5.0-liter small-block V8, the GMC now packs a massive, 7.4-liter block. This 1979 example we just found on eBay is one of those rare Caballeros that look really good. But since they weren't that many back in the day, well-maintained examples are a bit harder to find. This doesn't necessarily mean that buying such a classic is overly difficult nowadays. ![]() As a result, the Caballero is the rarest car-based trucks produced in that era. But while Chevy was selling more than 50,000 El Caminos per year in the late 1970s, GMC was delivering fewer than 10,000 units. In 1978, GMC decided to rename the truck for the third-generation, dropping the Sprint badge in favor of Caballero.īased on the fifth and final generation El Camino, the Caballero shared V6 and V8 engines with the Chevy-badged truck. ![]() The brand produced the Sprint over two generations from 1971 to 1977. GMC's car-based truck was original sold as the Sprint.
