Since 1977, the owner has put in four (4) engines. They are all the 390 cubic inch (6.4 liter) unit that came standard with the car.
This is my favorite shot.
The gauges and brightwork are mesmerizing. It's literally art. Note the steering column that swivels to the left and right to help with ingress and egress.
The font on the HVAC controls reminds me of the table top jukeboxes at '50s diners. The protruding wires are for the non-functioning power convertible top.
3 speed automatic.
That door in the foreground belongs to the other El Camino (M.Y. 1983 with a V8).

One of my all-time favorite Detroit interiors - simply fantastic jet age stuff.
Also, astonishing he was able to repair such a banana'd car - the wonders of old school body-on-frame structures I guess.
@Alan: I have to refer to urban dictionary everytime I read your comments. Banana'd.
I'M FROM THE STREETS, B#$%H!
Worst speedometer design ever
