I have seen several 396 '66/'67 Elcaminos.. Was a 396 offered in a wagon?

No, which has always puzzled me. The two V8 wagon optional engines were L30 and L79 327.

Attached is the board from my Concours. Note the unique pieces borrowed from the SS396, including the 138 VIN.

To my logic, the Concours wagon should have had the 396 engine standard, or at least optional. An L35 396 mated with the M40 400 Turbo would make more wagon sense than the L79 327??
