Has anyone ever seen a '68 SS396 El with 4spd and vinyl top? I have been searching on Collector Car Trader and through Photo Traders and everywhere else but have never found one. I'm not sure one even exists. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi Jeff
In answer to your question ,yes there was an option starting in 67 elkys for a vinal roof which could be had with the big block and 4 sp trans.I got the info from the book published by Brooklands books titled El Camino&SS Muscle Portfolio 1959-1987.Hopes this helps. 8)

I guess you meant a vinyl roof.Tthe book made no mention of an actual soft top like a convertable.

Yeah, I meant Vinyl top not convertible :oops: But I've never seen one that had the top, a 4spd and big block on the same car. I not sure anyone ever orderd one with these three options. As soon as I find one I want to buy it. :) I don't want to hold out for a car that doesn't exist :-(

I'm from Northwest Ohio. It's a real 1968 SS396 with an original Vinyl top and 4 speed? Do the numbers match? Let me know anything you can and the price via Email. Thanks
