Steven\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
