That year also marked the launch of the high-performance Super Sport SS396 version. The Turbo-Jet 396 engine was available in two power outputs: 325 bhp (242 kW) and 350 bhp (260 kW) and additionally the 375 bhp (280 kW) L78 engine option returned to the lineup. All engines came standard with a three-speed manual transmission, with the option to upgrade to a four-speed manual or automatic transmission. 1969 Model Updates The 1969 El Camino featured only minor updates, most notably a more rounded front-end design. A single chrome bar connected the quad headlights, while a slotted bumper housed the parking lights. The dashboard was redesigned with new round instrument pods, replacing the previous linear layout. For the first time, the Chevrolet 350 V8 engine was offered in the El Camino. The Super Sport package included either a 265 or 325 hp (198 or 242 kW) 396-cubic-inch V8 under a distinctive double-domed hood, complemented by a blacked-out grille with an SS emblem. Higher-output versions of the 396 engine, producing 350 or 375 hp (261 or 280 kW), were also available. Additional options included power windows, power locks, and a unique relocation of the back-up lights from the rear bumper to the tailgate, though they were less effective when the tailgate was down.
