What all parts are you salvaging out of it? Does it have the SS or Malibu dash?

No it is a El Camino. I getting all the air conditioning vents, evaporator and condenser,all the underhood valving for the air. I needed a decent steering wheel to restore. Since 68 wheels were garbage basically for cracking, and there are no aftermarket wheels the horn button works with.I snatching the power steering for a back up. I needed the front sway bar. I needed one headliner rod, they dont make them either. Basically I needed a bunch of oddball 68 stuff they don't reproduce. So this bent in half car was perfect for my needs. I was just about to buy a running car to get this stuff off of. Better a total than trash a good car for the parts I needed tho.
I buying all new dash parts that they make that show for the SS stuff. Emblems and dash placard bezel etc etc. It was a 327 2 speed originally. I suspect the engine and trans were in the old chevy truck the guy had there. 327 in a 60 custom truck HUMMM wonder where that came from?
