1280 is a V8 ElCamino (sedan-pickup)
1180 would be a six cylinder

Keep in mind---2-tone paints were not all that common on 59/60
Most (but not all) of these Elkies had the grey interior.

Mine came with a blue int. and the deluxe group
passenger visor and armrests, Fender ornaments, dual mirrors, Impala trim.
Also had--grille guard, Dealer AC, (both in shed now)
