I am looking to get a vehicle that I can use for occasional trips to the store, weekly trip to the dump, maybe a run to the lumber yard and pull a bike trailer. I also want it to fit nicely in my garage and don't want another truck. I need it to have a v-8 with A/C. I think something in the mid to late 80's would work. So, which would be better, an El Camino or a Ranchero? I am not looking for a restored one, but don't want a big project either, so it needs to be rust free with a solid drive train. I am thinking I'll end up in the $5 - 7K range. I am thinking I'll find what I need in the south or the PNW. I am looking in the Portland, OR area where my brother lives so I could fly out and drive it back. I could also look in the Atlanta area where my brother in law lives and do the same.
What do you guys and gals think?
