About the El Camino:
Chevrolet introduced a longer El Camino in 1968, based on the
Chevelle station wagon/four-door sedan wheelbase 116", overall
length: 208" 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 was
offered in 325HP or 350HP versions. Returning to the official
options list for the first time since late 1966 was the 375HP 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. In 1968, the SS was a separate model (the "SS-396").
The 1971 El Camino got fresh front-end styling (again shared with
the Chevelle) that included large Power-Beam single-unit
headlights, a reworked grille and bumper, and integral
park/signal/marker lights. For 1971, mandated lower-octane unleaded
fuel necessitated a reduction in engine compression, and GM's
A.I.R. system, a "smog pump", was added to control tailpipe
emissions. Power and performance were reduced. Engine offerings for
1971 included the 250-6, small-block V8s of 307 and 350 cubic
inches; and big block V8s of 402 and 454-cubic-inch displacements.
Horsepower ratings of those engines for 1971 ranged from 145 for
the six to 365 for the RPO LS5 454 - all in gross figures. The LS6
454 V8 was gone forever.
The 1972 El Caminos wore single-unit parking and side marker lights
on their front fenders, outside of a revised twin-bar grille, but
little changed. For 1972, horsepower measurements were switched to
the "net" figures as installed in a vehicle with all accessories
and emission controls hooked up. Engine offerings included the 110
hp 250-6, a 307 V8, a 175 hp 350-cubic-inch V8, and big block V8s
of 402 and 454 cubic-inch displacements. The 402-cubic-inch (still
known as a 396) produced 240 hp; the 454 managed to put out 270 hp
under the net rating system. Super Sport equipment could now be
ordered with any V8 engine, including the base 307-cubic-inch
version. All 1972 El Caminos with the 454 ci engine have a "W" as
the fifth digit in the VIN, and the 454 was only available with
Super Sport trim.
