The grille area remains bright and shiny with good plating for the egg crate insert and outboard headlamp bezels. The gaps remain well minded and the body is totally rust free and for some extra muscle, a cowl induction style hood scoop rests atop the hood, just in front of the windshield. The uppers and lower are painted black which shows in near factory specs and finish. Nice straight steel panels cover this car/truck example.

As with the El Camino, the Caballero shares the same A-body platform as the Chevrolet Malibu before switching to the G-body platform from 1982 onwards. The Caballero was unveiled in 1977 as the direct replacement for the GMC Sprint, both cars were identical to the El Camino in many ways, and most people have trouble telling the difference from a few paces. The GMC Caballero is the far less famous sibling of the iconic Chevrolet El Camino, Caballero sales were tiny compared to El Camino sales, but this has caused a significant uptick in interest around the less well known GMC utility and good examples are now highly sought after.
