Description

1970 Chevy El Camino – A redesigned A-body platform translated into a longer wheelbase for Chevrolet’s 1968 El Camino. Sales went up by 20 percent to 41,791 – a new high for the car. That record then soared to more than 57,000 in 1972, the last year for the Coke-bottle-shaped Chevelle body that had debuted four years before. Popularity of V-8 engines was on the rise, and by 1969, 94 percent of that year’s El Camino run was ordered with either a small-block or big-block. The latter group consisted of the SS 396 rendition, introduced the year before. Like its Malibu-based counterpart, the SS 396 El Camino came standard with a blacked-out grille, bulging hood and a 325-horsepower 396-cid Mk IV V-8. Again like its passenger-car cousin, the Super Sport El Camino appeared in two forms in 1970: an SS 396 and SS 454. Most prized in the latter ranks were the super-rare LS6 version and their 450 wild horses.

We love when we land unique classics into our inventory! There is really nothing better than a classic that looks spectacular and drives amazing. This 1970 Chevy El Camino came to us from a small collection where the owner was also the builder of all his vehicles. In his words, “… I build them to drive …”, not just to admire. We took this vehicle on a 50 mile test drive and were very impressed with how well it handled on all levels, has cold a/c, and a killer stereo system! Features and options include; 383ci V8, Auto w/Console Shift, Vintage A/C, Car Cover, Center Console Storage, Chrome Grille/Mirrors/Bumpers, Cloth Floormats, Cowl Hood, Owners Manual, JVC AM/FM/CD Stereo, Rockford Fosgate Amp, JL Audio 10″ Sub, Tinted Glass, Tonneau Cover, Rubber Bed Mat, 17″ Foose Wheels, & New Nitto Extreme Performance Tires! The odometer shows just under 62k miles. While we don’t have any supporting documentation, this El Camino looks and drives like a low mile classic.
