Vehicle Description
Freshly built, packing some serious power and a great looking
exterior, this 1970 Chevrolet El Camino is equally well-prepared to
haul cargo or just flat out HAUL. It's about as fine a
representation of its model as you're likely to find, and comes
with build receipts to document its evolution into the awesome
street machine you see here.
El Caminos were designed and built for a specific purpose - combine
the functionality of a truck with the drivability and appointments
of a car. Certainly, this specimen, decked out in its original
Champagne Gold hue with black stripes down the hood, is quite an
overachiever, but you can see how precisely Chevy accomplished its
objective right away. Look toward the front and you'll see the
Chevelle-like trappings of a muscle car - long, scooped hood and
spacious engine compartment, sporty front grille and badging. Cast
your gaze toward the back and you see a cargo area that's no joke -
long and broad, with an appreciable amount of space between the
wheel wells. In stock configuration, this is one impressive looking
El Camino, with clean chrome on its front and back bumpers, trim
and light bezels, and nice clear glass on all four sides of the
cabin. Even with that hauling capacity, this is a thoroughly
agile-looking car and it's pretty easy to imagine putting it
through paces that no mere traditional pickup would be able to
handle.
Inside, you'll find a very nicely equipped, fresh interior sporting
its original black hue. With fewer than 400 miles logged since its
build, everything is looking as sharp as you could want. The bucket
seats show almost no wear, the black dash pad is straight with a
convincing shine, and the locking center console positions the
shifter within easy reach and shows no scratches. Just beyond the
custom Chevy steering wheel sits a full assortment of white-faced
Auto Meter Phantom gauges seamlessly fitted into the black steel of
the dash, and just to your right is a Pioneer AM/FM/CD player that
also features iPod compatibility. Take a closer look at how the
Vintage Air climate control system has been installed - mounted
directly into the dash and exhaling through the factory registers
to keep occupants comfortable. In back, the cargo area is in good
shape, with straight, unscratched ribbing across the floor and
undented wheel wells to both sides that clearly have been kept out
of the path of any rolling objects. We love seeing skilled
workmanship, and that's just what we have here.
This is a drivetrain that's packing some SERIOUS power. A fuel
injected 502 cubic inch H.O. V8 sits under the hood, breathing easy
through a set of ceramic coated headers and churning out 461
horsepower and a monstrous 558lb/ft of torque. It's paired with a
Tremec TKO 5-speed manual overdrive transmission, one of the very
few transmissions capable of reliably handling such an output. An
MSD ignition system has been added to maximize the spark and an
oversized aluminum radiator sits up front to keep the big engine
nice and cool. Check underneath and you'll see everything looks
good, as well -no dented floorpans or bent rails anywhere. This
impressively-built El Camino sits on a set of 15" Chevy Super Sport
rims, outfitted with Goodrich T/A radials, with just the
aggressive, inclined stance you'd want in a performer like
this.
Looking for a truly unique classic car that's got all the power you
could want and cargo carrying capacity you're unlikely to find
anywhere else? You have to check out this 1970 Chevrolet El Camino.
