El Camino in 1968, based on the Chevelle station wagon/four-door
sedan wheelbase 116 in, overall length: 208 in; it also shared
Chevelle Malibu exterior and interior trims. The interior was
revamped including cloth and vinyl or all-vinyl bench seats and
deep twist carpeting. All-vinyl Strato bucket seats and center
console were an $111 option. Power front disc brakes and
Positraction were optional. A new, high-performance Super Sport
SS396 version was launched. The Turbo-Jet 396 had 325 bhp or 350
bhp versions. Returning to the official options list for the first
time since late 1966 was the 375 bhp L78. It had solid lifters,
big-port heads, and an 800 cfm Holley four-barrel on a low-rise
aluminum manifold. A three-speed manual was standard with all
engines, and a four-speed or automatic was optional.�The 1970
models received sheet metal revisions that gave the bodies a more
squared-up stance, and interiors were also redesigned. The Turbo
fire 350 CID, 250hp engine was an additional option.�Chevrolet's
largest and most-powerful engine of the time was also put into a
select few El Caminos. The LS6 454 CID engine, rated at 450 hp and
500 lb�...ft of torque, gave the El Camino 1/4-mile times in the
lower 13-second range at around� 108 mph.<br /><br
