For the 1976 model year, the higher-end El Camino Classic got the stacked quad rectangular headlights like the Chevelle and Monte Carlo. The Classic also had a crosshatched mesh grille rather than the plain plastic rectangular grille of the base model, which also retained the plain dual round headlights from the previous year.
The one in the picture has the Conquista trim package, which came with two-tone paint...in this case Firethorn over Mahogany...divided by bright chrome molding on the sides. This one also has the optional 15" Rally wheels.
The 250cid OHV 105 horsepower inline six was the base motor. Optional engines were the 140hp 2-barrel 305, the trusty 350 in either two- or four-barrel form, and the top-of-the-line 400 small block, now only rated at 175 horses.
This one was photographed with a Canon EOS-1D Mark IV and EF 24-105mm f/4L IS zoom lens in October of 2022.
