1979 GMC Caballero

This GMC Caballero is finished in Dark Grey Metallic paint over a grey interior. Power comes from its 305 cubic inch V8, automatic transmission and rear wheel drive. It features aluminum wheels, bed tonneau, air conditioning (not working but components are there), power steering and power brakes. The car has been selectively refurbished and is accompanied with a nice folder of records and maintenance book. The word Caballero is from the Spanish language. Its most common definition today in the Americas is gentleman. The Caballero and the fifth generation El Camino shared their mechanical parts with the Chevrolet Malibu series, but rode on a 9-inch longer wheelbase. Other than different nameplates and minor trim variations, it is difficult to distinguish a Caballero from an El Camino at more than 10 paces distance. It was largely for this reason that the Caballero did not sell in the higher volumes that the El Camino did over the years (many never even knew a GMC version existed), though that rarity now counts as a plus to many Caballero fans and collectors.
