Chevrolet did not retain any records on combinations of options. This means it is impossible to know how many of any particular series and body style came with any combination of options such as how many El Caminos were built with a 4-speed and/or a specific optional engine or how many El Caminos came with a radio. Figures shown are for all 1966 Chevelles.
