The biggest body issue is the floors, they are rotted through but the seller has acquired the appropriate new panels. So the seller has taken this Chevy completely apart, has a ton of parts, and has started on the restoration but he became disabled two years ago and cannot complete this formidable task. This is a departure from the Chevelle passenger car where the 396 engine meant a “138” VIN prefix and SS designation – the 396 engine was not available in non-SS Chevelles. And as the seller states, so equipped, it was not designated as a Super Sport (SS) model until the 1968 model year. Starting in 1966, Chevrolet offered their fairly new 396 CI engine as an option in the El Camino. What is notable, however, is this Camino’s powertrain. We’ve covered the El Camino many times here on Barn Finds before so there’s no reason to traverse that ground again in this post. Thanks to Barn Finder extraordinaire Larry D for this tip! Besides being in pieces, it’s in Yakima, Washington and available, here on eBay for a starting bid of $5,000 and a BIN price of $12,500. So continuing with my mild obsession, let’s examine what I would call “muscle truck potential” in the form of a 1967 Chevrolet El Camino. Yet still, I find poring over the pieces and thinking, “Hmmm, what if…” and I guess that’s addictive. I don’t know why as I would probably be reluctant to take on such a project. I have a knack for stumbling upon cars in pieces.
