About This Chevrolet El Camino

This 1968 Chevrolet El Camino SS was the first year for the third generation El Camino. GM decided to make major changes to their mid-size offerings in '68, and legends were born. According to the VIN number, this fully restored (2010) El Camino is a factory '138' code SS396. That said, it received a lot of mechanical upgrades during the restoration process. The El Camino was the beneficiary of a professional 2-stage respray of Ebony Black that is outstanding. Dunlop Z-rated performance radials are mounted on stunning 20” chrome alloy wheels and provide the perfect accent. A custom car cover is also included with the car. The factory tan vinyl interior is in outstanding original condition - bench seat, dash, door cards and headliner are all nice. Convenience features include cold A/C, power tinted windows and a full set of factory gauges including a rare 'roller tachometer'. A Kenwood AM/FM/CD/MP3 system w/powerful Kicker amplifier provides great sounds. The original 396 was replaced with a GM 454ci 'Rat' that was completely rebuilt in 2010. It is fitted with aluminum heads, performance cam, aluminum intake, dual-feed Holley carb and is backed by a TH400 automatic transmission. Chassis features include power steering, power-assisted disc/drum brakes, HD front/rear sway bars and a new fuel tank.
