The El Camino is a pleasure to drive, reliable, and has plenty of torque and power when you need it. The original color was Capri Cream with a gold interior. Very fragile, it scratches easily and comes off. The paint is a Hot Rod Black without clear coat. Rust free, except for some muffler clamps and trailer electrical cover door from 1967.

A new SS-454 debuted at mid-model year.ġ971 saw the headlights changed to single Power-Beams and the grill resembled an ice-cube tray. The SS-396 was still available, although the engine was actually a 402 big-block. In 1970, the front end was blunted somewhat and the headlamps were enclosed in square bezels. (note: Acording to the owner, the front end on this example is not 100% accurate for a 69 model) The list price for the six-cylinder model was $2,552.00 and the V-8 powered Custom listed for $2,723.00. The SS-396 got front disk brakes and red striped tires. The Elky's appearance was slightly altered in 1969. The SS-396 option included a blacked-out grill, SS emblems, a bulging hood, larger Wide-Oval tires and the lower body was given the blackout treatment. The overall length grew by 10 inches, and the bed size was increased.

It had a "flying buttress" roof and the wheelbase was one inch longer. In 1968, the Elky got a big styling change. This version of the Elky was tested by Hot Rod magazine and turned a 13.44 quarter-mile at The ultimate option for 1970 was an LS-6 454īig block with 11.25:1 compression, special camshaft and solid lifters boasting 450 hp. This big block phenomenon continued until 1970, when the newĤ54 V8 (360 hp) was available for only a $514 option cost. In 1968 the El Camino SS was available with a 396Ĭubic inch motor in 325 and 350 hp versions. Popular Chevelle platform and shared the new styling.
