The 1968 Chevrolet El Camino SS signifies the birth of the third generation El Camino. The year marked a turning point for General Motors as they implemented major transformations in their mid-size vehicle lineup, birthing legends in the process. With a full restoration undertaken in 2010, this El Camino, as identified by its VIN number, is a genuine ‘138’ coded SS396, according to the factory. However, the restoration process did not stop at reviving its original glory. Several mechanical upgrades were implemented, enhancing the vehicle’s performance and appeal. Adorned with a professional two-stage respray of Ebony Black, the El Camino’s exterior radiates an outstanding allure. Paired with this are impressive 20” chrome alloy wheels, housing Dunlop Z-rated performance radials, providing an ideal finishing touch to its exterior. A custom car cover, included with the car, ensures its exquisite finish remains protected. The interior, featuring a factory-original tan vinyl, is in exceptional condition. The bench seat, dashboard, door cards, and headliner all retain their original charm. For added convenience, the vehicle is equipped with cold air conditioning, power tinted windows, and a comprehensive set of factory gauges, including a rare ‘roller tachometer’. To keep the entertainment alive, a Kenwood AM/FM/CD/MP3 system backed by a powerful Kicker amplifier delivers a fantastic audio experience. Under the hood, the original 396 engine has been replaced with a 2010-rebuilt GM 454ci ‘Rat’. This powerhouse boasts aluminum heads, a performance cam, an aluminum intake, and a dual-feed Holley carburetor, all teamed up with a TH400 automatic transmission. The chassis has been equipped with power steering, power-assisted disc/drum brakes, heavy-duty front and rear sway bars, and a new fuel tank for smooth performance and safety. This enhanced El Camino SS is primed to bring immense pride and joy to its new owner.
