El Camino vs. the ugliest car in the world.

So I was arguing today about whether the El Camino is the ugliest car ever. I was saying it's not, other people were saying it is. What are your thoughts?

I was at Maryland International Raceway last year at the last races they were having for the season and saw a yellow El Camino do an fscking tailstand when it took off from the line. Sumbitch needs some wheelie bars on the rear of it! If you build em right, they'll run like crazy on the 1320. imp:

We're not talking about performance. We're talking about looks. They're hideous.

You know, I used to think El Camino was the ugliest, but since I don't see that many lately I don't think it's as bad anymore. Some ugly cars:

AMC Pacer
Pinto
Aztek
Grand Am



Old Caminos actually look okay.

I wonder what an El would look like with 33" mud tires on it. Hell, the Sling Ray from Monster Garage looked pretty cool with 'em.

aki and robbclark1 have the right idea. Late 60's to '72 El's were the sh|t. Just look at this sweet, custom '69.
