RacingJunk Find: Wild Rear Engine El Camino Mud Bogger


RacingJunk Find: Wild Rear Engine El Camino Mud Bogger

This mud bogging El Camino is completely BangShift.com approved! Sporting four-wheel drive, a 408ci small-block mounted in the bed, a nitrous bottle located next to the shifter, and 35-inch Boggers at each corner, it is rougher than a cobb, but would provide a level of horror-induced thrill nothing else could possibly match.

Some would shudder and call the truck a death trap, to those people we would point toward the roll cage and brilliantly colored yellow racing seats. They would then point out the nitrous bottle next to the shifter that is not vented with a tube through the floor. We would point to the snappy looking red belts that are threaded through the yellow seats, and so it would go on.

We’re thinking the mounting of the motor in the bed was an effort to move as much weight off the front of the truck to get it to plane over the top of the mud as opposed to slogging through it. Regulation mud bogs are 300 feet long and top level competitors can traverse the distance in three seconds and change. This truck has some serious snot if it makes the advertised power numbers, but even it pales in comparison to some of the blown rails we have seen at mid bog races.

So what do you think? Would you own and race this truck, or is it too creepy, dirty, crude, and rude for you? We’d drop the hammer. Here’s mud in your eye!
