When you look at a classic car and realize that its strongest attribute is the fact that it has a clean title and all of its tags, you know that what you are dealing with something that is well past its best.This 1968 Chevrolet El Camino SS was the first year for the third generation El Camino. I look at this ’68 El Camino and all I can think is what a crying shame it is to see what was once a very potent car reduced to little more than a husk. About the only thing that we know for certain is the fact that the El Camino does have a rear end in it still. ![]() Of course, with an asking price of $600, I wouldn’t be expecting too much on that front anyway. In a similar vein, there is no information on the presence, or otherwise, of an engine and transmission. If someone chooses to take this on as a project, they will essentially be starting from scratch. There really is no interior to speak of, and anything inside the car is probably beyond help due to exposure to the elements. The fact that there is plenty of rust visible in the lower body panels doesn’t auger well for the state of the floors, or for the structural integrity of the Chevy. The owner’s description of the vehicle runs out to a mere five words, but he says that he hopes that the pictures tell it all. The fact that it is sitting on bare ground will not have helped its cause one bit. With minimal glass and no doors, it will have been exposed to plenty of moisture. ![]() It’s hard to know where to start with the El Camino because it looks like it has been sitting exposed to the elements for a very long time. You will find it listed for sale here on Craigslist, where the owner has set the asking price at $600. Located on Lopez Island, Washington, the El Camino is being offered for sale with a clean title. Barn Finder Sol spotted the Chevy classic for us, so thank you so much for that Sol. Seeing a classic vehicle left to deteriorate in the elements is a bitter pill to swallow, especially when it is something as special as this El Camino SS 396.
