It had already been painted red and the 4spd had been rebuilt. The previous owner bought the car in 2005 with his dad while still in high school.

The stamp pad serial number matches the VIN and the assembly code, V0102EP (on Chevy block pads the "1”s in the assembly date look like capital "I”s) means the engine was assembled Jan 2nd in Flint, MI and the "EP" means the hi-perf 327/325hp engine. Why they didn't re-install it all I don't know but if I was keeping it, I'd repaint it the correct Butternut Yellow, replace all the missing trim clips, and re-install all the trim or procure new as required since all the national Chevelle and El Camino parts distributors have all the trim parts readily available. I have not broken it out to assess if it is all there but by the size of the bundle it appears to be. I have most if not all of it in a bundle the previous owner provided to me. When the body was painted red the stainless trim was removed and some, but not all of it was re-installed. I have the original (now red) gas door and it was removed due to a broken bracket and/or spring. And lastly you'll notice the gas filler door is black. Also the rear bumper is damaged - zoom in on the pic and just to the left of the license plate you will see the bumper is torn and should be replaced. The imperfections consist of isolated bubbles or blisters under the red repaint at the left front fender bottom behind the wheel opening, aft lower edge of passenger door, and on the right side leading edge of the hood above the battery which looks to me like and old battery leak or rupture with the acid contaminating the hood. "765A" means black vinyl bench seat and "KAN" is Kansas City assembly plant. It was built 1st week of February, 1968 "2A”. The model # is 13680 which means El Camino Custom level trim, V8 (non-SS396). You can even see remnants of yellow paint under the red in the door jambs.

It should be Butternut Yellow upper/lower (never had a vinyl top) per the trim tag code "Y-Y”. It was repainted red by an owner prior to the owner I bought it from. The body is straight with a few imperfections.

Although it runs and drives fantastic, and I've used it to haul many a load for landscaping, lumber, and other home projects, with its hi-perf engine, manual transmission, manual steering, and no a/c (not even available with this engine per factory literature) it's not exactly ideal for me to use everyday.

I leave my Portland car in Portland when I fly home on my weekends and the El Camino has effectively evolved into my daily weekend driver when I'm home in Boise. I work in Portland, OR but I live (and keep the El Camino garaged) in Boise, ID. How many can possibly be left, and with their original, #s matching complete drivetrain?

Although they weren't tallied separately one can assume that about 10% of the L79 Chevelle production went into El Caminos so it's likely about 400 or less were originally built with this engine. The total Chevelle Hi-Perf L79 engine installations were 4,082, or less than 1% of production.

There were about 469,000 Chevelle assemblies in 1968, of which about 42,000 (<10%) were El Caminos. Up for auction is my very rare 1968 El Camino with its original 327/325hp L79 engine, matching orig Muncie close-ratio 4spd, and original 3.55 12-bolt Posi rearend. 1968 Chevrolet El Camino Custom Level Trim
