[QUOTE="67HEAVEN, post: 31634, member: 659"] Here's an excellent example of why you should always take someone with some knowledge about old cars when looking to buy. Most will agree that a '68 El Camino SS396 is an interesting car/truck, but the advertiser in this ad needs to do a bit more research before making the claims he does. Claims a 396/375 hp engine, but the vehicle has an automatic. He also states that it has factory A/C. Neither of these options were available with the L78 375 hp engine. Oh, and the cast iron intake manifold is the first I've ever seen on a 375 hp big block. LOL Should be aluminum. [img]http://pictures.dealer.com/c/carstoreautotc/1671/896ed889e3d3a29004d2547bb601beb2x.jpg[/img] Wanna bet that's a 325 hp, or maybe 350 hp 396? It's sure not a 375. And, there's a WORLD of difference between the first two and the 375, believe me. Some sucker's gonna buy the story. That's why, if you're looking to buy an old car, better know your stuff or have someone along who does.
