I've seen this one before. It looks decent from the back, but the pics never show the angle I want to see. The car is probably ridiculously un-functional, having scrapped the back seat and trunk but failing to really gain a truck bed.
I liked El Caminos and wished they'd brought those back. I've seen some get truck conversions on Caprice Classics and Buick Roadmaster Wagons. The Monte Carlo would seem a decent fit (for a car newer than those models), but I think it needs to be longer.

Since I've always liked El Caminos, I like this "Monte Camino" too.
Found a couple more photos of it:
And just for comparison, a couple photos of the stillborn Pontiac G8 Ute version that was in the works before the big GM shake-up of 2009:
Man, the Australians got some really fookin' good genuine GM stuff, and we didn't...
