I would love to have that 52 Chevrolet coupe utility. Never seen one before.
Get a SSR, it will have a little more power.
With a 6.0 I would say more then just a little. Years ago I use to have a El Camino SS. I bought a new 454 SS in 1990 when they came out, a called it my castrated 454. I sold it ten years later with 2500 miles, it sat in the garage.
What I like about the old 52 coupe utility is the rarity and uniqueness.
Australian Ute versions of US vehicles were not that rare in the 1950's. All US cars had a Ute version provided by local coach makers or by the manufacturers

Ute's didn't appear in the US market until the Ranchero and El Camino. Station wagons were the rage here. Ute's just weren't that popular here. I enjoyed my El Camino SS and wish I hadn't sold it. Now with Collies and pulling a RV I need a 1 ton crew cab.
