Often forgotten in the history of American musclecars is the El Camino. Introduced in 1959 and originally Impala based, the half-truck – half-car was in response to the success of the rival Ford Ranchero. Surviving just two model years in this guise, the El Camino re-appeared in 1964, this time using the Chevelle platform; including the high performance engines and powertrains. In 1968 the SS 396 debuted as a new model of El Camino and came only with one of the available 396 V-8 engine. The new El Camino featured a longer hood, angular side windows, a recessed rear window and a rakish front end. This style concept gave the owner the amenities of a passenger car, but with convenience of a truck. This firmly established the El Camino as a musclecar/truck.

This sedan-pickup (as its body style was officially called) is reported as a true SS powered by the monster 396-cid, 325-hp V-8. The transmission is a three-speed automatic transmission. It is equipped with power steering, power brakes, AM/FM radio and factory air-conditioning. The exterior is finished in a Garnet Red with accenting brightwork. The black interior is sporting bucket seats, vent windows and a center console shifter. It is riding on new SS sports-styled wheels with new Firestone Wide Oval tires featuring raised white letters.

Less than 800 miles have been put on this car since the engine and transmission were rebuilt, along with a fresh repaint. This truck is ready for a new owner, with so many new paths waiting to be explored.
