Does it come complete with the sniffable driver seat?

Like OMG!

Why does this post have an "El Camino" tag and not a "Jalopnik Fantasy Garage" tag?

@POLAR: And the gems just keep coming (pun intended).

You know, I don't think I've ever seen a movie with Daryl Hannah in it. Thus, I think the only times I've seen her have been when she's in a picture or short video clip while in the nude. That's probably why it took me a minute to identify her in this picture.

Awesome machine (the El Camino), though! A chick driving a matte black diesel El Camino is 8,000-to-the-power-of-14 times hotter than some floosies going ga-ga over a Dave Focus.

"factory diesels r super hard 2 find."

I love how she still writes like an 11 year old.

@Heep: Her first movie, that I can remember is "Splash" with Tom Hanks.

Is that her daughter?! I thought he's like 60 now.

she's

@Heep:

Check out Kill Bill 1 & 2. Not only does Ms. Hannah look lovely, she wears an eyepatch, wields a Samurai sword, and drives a black 1980 Trans Am with the T-tops out. Alas, her character meets a grisly demise, but then so does pretty much everyone else in those two movies.

<-------- wants an EDIT Button!

I just saw her in THX 1138 last week, and a rodeo movie starring Jack Bauer over the weekend. Odd... it does feel like my world is colliding with her's.

not THX 1138, the other movie i watched that day.. Blade Runner!

Heep, you've never seen Wall Street?

I think I'm in love.

@Heep: You've never seen Blade Runner? You're fired from being a guy. Turn in your badge.

Thinking of El Camino's, was there ever a post on why Davey was removed from the headmast over the weekend?

@newt0: I didn't think she was in THX1138, but it's been a while so I was going to believe you. That was Maggie McOmie that was in THX1138.

Wouldn't the matte paint slightly increase aerodynamic drag? Some environmentalist.

Daryl Hannah is the new mascot of jalopnik.com

@newt0: I hope you don't mean "for the first time".

It's hard to imagine that Priss from Blade Runner is much of an enviromentalist. I would also expect that she would drive something much more bad assed than an Elk.

"While someone named Daryl selling an El Camino isn't usually news..."

Almost coated the work computer in coffee.

Wonder what she wants for it. The fact that GM actually made OEM diesel ElCos is news to me. I'm tempted to start collecting assorted orphan diesel rides like this.

Either run 'em on veg/bioD and sell them at marked up prices to hipsters or yank the oil-burner and drop in a GM 502 crate (no smog on diesel).

But will she keep the engine in it? hee hee

(See story about her getting the shaft from the movie car from kill bill)

Is this the infamous GM diesel that was originally a gas 350? The one that blows up because of diesel-like compression ratios in a motor originally designed for gas? Oh well, I'd still pay good money for a veggie oil hand pump from Daryl Hannah.

"...matt black..." is funny, but "...flat matt..." is funnier.

Would her flippers no longer reach the gas pedal?

@theeastbaykid: Yes, it's the Olds 350 ex-gas motor that soured the vast majority of 'Muricans on the idea of putting Uncle Rudy's Torque Synthesizer in passenger cars and light trucks.

That being said, despite her often militant displays of greenie-mentia, I think this revelation has officially moved Ms. Hannah into a tie for first with Lindsay Wagner on my personal "Hottest Hollywood Cougar" list.

I'll buy that thing just to sniff the car seat that she sat on. Hell, I'll rip out the car seat and use it as a pillow, or a hat.

Mein Gott!! Pure sacrilege! A green El Camino is like a performance Trabant, it just ain't suppose to happen!

Jalop needs more photos with Ms. Hannah posing on El Co's

Looove the photo. And the 'Mino.
Not so thrilled with the teen girl speak message.
You should run that photo again.
Often.

Is it wrong that I found her sexier as a Fish than as a futuristic cyber-vixen?

Maybe it's hard for her to type since she's missing part of left index finger.

Nobody ever accused her of having a brain. Not to mention her acting range of mermaid, robot (Blade Runner), cave woman (wasn't she in Quest for Fire too?) and campy comic book killer in Kill Bill.

@Novaload: Mermaid? I'm sticking with fish.

Well she loses points for being a vegetarian. In the movie Splash, there is a scene where she's at dinner and lobster is ordered. That lobster was stuffed with mash potatoes. She also a game designer… [www.liebrary.com] Who knew…

@Vipper Of Vipp: Actually, for low speed aero-/hydrodynamics, a rough surface actually lowers resistance via a thinner boundary layer and longer/later laminar flow.

Look at any modern racing skull or canoe... even 'cigarette' boats and low speed planes.

@Novaload: No, Rae Dawn Ching was in Quest For Fire, Daryl Hannah was in Clan of the Cave Bear.

@logruszed: That would be Rae Dawn Chong, as in Tommy Chong's (of Cheech & Chong) daughter...

@Rust-MyEnemy: Yes! Unless she has her legs... ;) Otherwise, to each their own..

I read the headline, and was overwhelmed with a great sense of despair. Knowing that out there, an attractive Hollywood type owned an 80's El Camino (and went to the effort of making it biodiesel) made the world a little bit better, and the thought of her selling it, it would be a loss. But then the ad mentioned her probably getting another one, and all was well again.

Drop in a crate 572. Forget the 350 as it probably is ready to grenade itself anyway. Either that or an 8.0 Isuzu/Chevy truck diesel.

Oh and add on the Super Sport or Camaro conversion nose to get the full effect. I remember wanting a new 1986 Chattanooga conversion SuperSport when they were new. I couldn't afford it so I bought a 1971 with a 350 instead. The one that got away in 1983 was a beat to hell 1968 with a 427 for $800.00. That was the only car that scared me when I put the pedal down. I had a nice Challenger so I passed.

Most of the the Olds 350 Diesels aren't that bad once sorted properly. A lot of the problems were poorly trained mechanics (who would frequently re-use the stretched head bolts) and lack of a system to remove water from the fuel. If you see a 350 diesel today and it's running, it's probably OK.
