10k: El Diablo: 1980 GMC Caballero Diablo

Who doesn't love a good El Caminoized monster, something built from another vehicle and covered in crazy graphics...wait...you are saying this is stock?  GMC did what now?  Okay, got it.  The GMC Caballero was a badge engineered version of Chevrolet's El Camino that different in little more than the nameplate.  When Chevrolet released the Royal Knight edition, GMC wanted a similarly cool graphics package and named their badboy version the Diablo.  Find this 1980 GMC Caballero Diablo offered for $12,900 CAD ($10,384 USD at printing) here on kijiji located in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.

2 of 50: Cowgirl: 1957 Buick Caballero Restomod

Buick offered their Caballero 4dr hardtop wagon in very limited numbers in 1957 and 1958 as an upscale version of the Chevy Nomad and Pontiac Safari.  While the chrome trim on the '57-'58 Buicks make the cars look dramatically different, they were essentially the same body and interior with different grilles and taillights (such was Harley Earl's updating method of choice in the 50's). Given our short deadline we had to nab this  resto-modded 1957 Buick Caballero offered for sale on Ebay  out of Boca Raton,  Florida.  Bidding is currently at $9K and unlikely to stretch to the seller's (a nice but greedy young lady) B-i-N price of $48,500.
