1968 Chevrolet El Camino SS396 - #'s Matching Factory A/C Grotto Blue Restored!
Chevrolet sold five generations of the El Camino between 1959 and 1987, and they all shared the same basic characteristics: they were based on a road car platform with a front engine, rear wheel drive layout, they had two doors and a pickup bed in the back with a fold down tailgate.
The standard El Camino SS came with a three-speed manual transmission however buyers could opt for either a four-speed or an automatic. The significant power output of the engine did catch more than a few El Camino SS drivers by surprise, the front-weight bias of the cars (with an empty rear tray of course) combined with the rear-wheel drive made it startlingly easy to spin the rear tires – much to the delight of any fan of burnouts.
Chevrolet built the third generation El Camino on the Chevelle station wagon/four-door sedan platform, and it also shared some Chevelle Malibu exterior and interior trim. Strato bucket seats, a center console, power front disc brakes, and the Positraction rear end were optional extras. 1968 was the only year Chevrolet produced a VIN specific Super Sport El Camino.
