RE: [Chevelle-List] 1969 El Camino Custom vs. Standard
Thanks Dale, that's awesome. I have the restoration kit and have been looking at it from here. I was very surprised to learn that only the Custom got the lower side moldings and that they all had Cortez Silver paint below the moldings. I decided to go w/ the short eyebrow moldings and no side moldings on mine even though it's a Custom. I guess I'll be skipping the silver paint then too. I also have an SS hood on it but it has a 283 in it and no SS badges. I'm not worried about originality on this one, but I'm always interested in this kind of stuff.

RE: [Chevelle-List] 1969 El Camino Custom vs. Standard
I do have one. Thanks for reminding me. I'm looking at it now. It seems like the only engine that was available in the Standard El Camino was a 200HP 307. Mine came w/ a 350.
