That’s where you store your golf bags.
Imagine rolling into Oakland Hills in that.

I am ok with this.
I'm not... but I'd be interested in reviving someone else's attempt... it would have to be a rough car for me to feel good about it.

I'm OK as well. JUST as long they took a very rough car. Looking at the Australian versions, YES done A WAY LOT BETTER than the elcamino and ranchero.
A guy I worked with had a mid 70's GM. I laughed when he bought it, but he said "Go take a look" and I had to say that it was done fairly well. It wasn't a show car... It was built to haul stuff, but it was not a hack job.
The issue I have with all of the Mopar conversions are the roof and doors are too short. If you look at an El Camino, you'll see they used doors from a 2 door, so the length of the roof and side windows look correct. It always looks like your head would be against the back window in most conversions.
So yea... a 2 door sedan would be the car to start with... or at least not cut the roof up so far. Ideally, the rear of a station wagon and the front of a 2 door sedan.

I would think so as well. Not a big industry around Chrysler professional cars, but they were out there.
Edited: just looked more closely at the pics. Saw the rear doors. I’m going to change my opinion to hack job!

I think that rear door gives access to the box behind the rear window.
