Like the Malibu wagon, the El Camino was a G body.

Along with the matching inners (wheel centers) that support/align them.

Production spec GNs do not turn elevens.

Good example of your "playground" attitude.
Your juvenile use of font coding, not only distracts attention from the actual context of the message, but it makes it hard for many people to read.
In this case, it is also insulting, because it implies that one did not read your post, before responding to it.
Hard to get much more childish than that.

Quote: Production spec GNs do not turn elevens.
Is it [the elcamino in the picture] made to be a production spec GN? Better said, did you mean that it is a GN with an elcamino body over it?
Also, what is the difference between a stock turbo and the PT-61?
After seeing that car again... I have to say again- What a cool looking car-

The EC frame/body is a few inches longer than the other G bodies. Other than that, everything interchanges.
It started out as an EC. Every part, unique to the GN, was used to replace its EC counterpart, starting with the front clip and interior. This made, what is called, a "Phantom" (nonexistent) GN.
Using a non GN part (supercharger) would not fit into the intended theme.
Quote: ........ what is the difference between a stock turbo and the PT-61? ........
I don't know, but it must be profound if it can put an otherwise production spec GN into the elevens, with no chassis modifications.
