Here is an interior we are doing for a 1968 El Camino SS 396 - Here is the before Picture
The El Camino was so closely related to the Chevelle that
everything from the windshield forward was largely interchangeable throughout
both cars' generations, and engines were shared. In 1968, shoppers could spring
for the Standard model as a dependable work truck, with its 230- and 250cid
straight-six and three-speed manual. The next model up was the Custom, at $2694
an $81 option over the Standard's base price of $2613, adding lower chrome body
molding and a 327 V-8 engine available on both trims. Throughout the third
generation, buyers could choose from a V-8 displacing 307, 327, and later 307s
and 350s with either two- or four-barrel carburetors. But perhaps the
best-known El Camino model was the legendary SS, a $444 upgrade in 1968--the
only year it was its own stand-alone model. Three states of tune were available
for the 396-cubic-inch Turbo-Jet big-block: 325, 350, and 375 grossly
underrated horsepower. A Muncie three-speed was the default transmission, but a
Turbo-Hydramatic TH400 and Muncie four-speed could be checked off the options
box.
