This was the first year for SS El Caminos, 1 of only 5190 produced and they only came with 396 Big Blocks (hers is long gone), now powered by SBC 350. She’s an A/C car needing some components, has power steering and power drum brakes all around. A complete car, running and driving with most of its functioning equipment intact.
