Steven’s 1968 El Camino

Built From The Ground Up

Steven’s 1968 El Camino

Many people know of a special car that has been in their family for years that is just begging to be restored. A lot of these cars end up sitting in back yards and rusting away to just a memory, but not this 1968 El Camino!

Steven’s grandfather bought this 1968 El Camino brand new and kept it in nice shape in California throughout all of the years. He pulled the original 307 in favor of a 0.30 over 350 small block, but it still retains its original 2 speed PowerGlide transmission. The original radiator was also replaced with a 4 core unit so that the car could be driven in parades.

A car with this much family history deserved a good home, so it was recently given to Steve. His Grandfather can no longer drive this 1968 El Camino, but Steve plans to restore it from the ground up as a tribute to him. He now keeps the car under a cover in Arizona and works on it whenever he can.
