there actually was a
proto type el camino in 65 that looked like this. The only picture I have ever
saw was it towing a ski/drag boat.the article mentioned it was 396 powered. I
wonder if this was the mysterious z16 el camino or convertible that has eluded
everyone for years? who will ever know?

That 1965 El
Camino was the one and only 396 powered show car built by GM .It was called
and I quote-The El Camino Surfer 1 roadster pickup.It came with a matching 396
powered boat.Since it was topless with the header bar even cut off the
windshield ,maybe this started the convert rumor. A good picture of it
without the boat is in Terry Boyce's 1981 book entitled ChevySuper Sports
1961-1976.
