* No Central Database: Automakers don't typically track production numbers down to this level of detail for every engine option.
* Variety of Options: In 1979, the El Camino offered a range of engine options, not just the 350. You'd have to consider how popular the 350 was compared to the others.
* Production Changes: Production runs could vary throughout the year.
How to Find Some Information:
1. Chevrolet History Resources: You might find some production information on sites like the Chevrolet Historical Society or enthusiast forums.
2. Classic Car Databases: Websites like Hagerty or Hemmings might have production estimates for certain years and models.
3. Contact GM: If you're serious about finding this information, contacting General Motors' heritage department might be your best bet.
4. El Camino Clubs: Connect with El Camino enthusiast clubs or forums, as they may have historical data or knowledge about production numbers.
Keep in mind that even if you find information, it will likely be an estimate, not an exact count.
