mirrors First year second-generation F-bodies are becoming rare as
we approach the model's golden anniversary but MotoeXotica Classic
Cars is pleased to announce that we have a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro
RS/SS "split bumper" coupe. This particular unit was made in
General Motors' Van Nuys, California assembly plant in April 1970.
Its previous owner lavished care and love on this vehicle for the
past 39 years! This Camaro presents well and drives out strong!
Finished in red with black racing stripes and a black vinyl top,
this Camaro's paint and trim are in overall excellent shape, with a
couple of minor blemishes. The paint is lustrous, the vinyl roof
has a rich look and the black racing stripes lend some meanness to
the car's overall look. The car's glass is clear and intact while
its lights are clear and haze-free. The windows and lights are in
the same fantastic condition as the paint. The car's bodywork,
including chin spoiler and trunk-mounted rear spoiler, is straight
and solid, the engine bay is extremely tidy, the battery appears
new and the car's chrome bumpers fit well to the body. There is
also an aftermarket sunroof and factory sport sideview mirrors.
This F-body rolls on Mickey Thompson Indy Profile tires, 50s in the
front and 70s in the back. Each tire surrounds a chrome, five-spoke
Cragar wheel. Under the performance hood with the ventilation scoop
is understood to be a 383 CID stroker V-8 engine with a four-barrel
carburetor, Moroso valve covers and air cleaner housing. It
reportedly has 10,000 miles on it. Bolted to the engine is a Turbo
Hydramatic 350 three-speed automatic transmission with reportedly
250 miles on it and a 12-bolt rear end. Driver convenience features
include power steering and power brakes.� This is also an A/C
equipped car that does not have all it's components. Inside, the
black vinyl interior is in overall very good order. The black
Strato low-back front buckets (a 1970-only option) and rear
demi-buckets are all in excellent shape while the matching carpet
is in very good order, as is the car's headliner. The Grant GT wood
Rimblow steering wheels looks very mod while the inner door panels
and wraparound instrument panel, with its woodgrain trim, are both
in very good order. There are aftermarket ancillary gauges ahead of
the shifter - one for coolant temperature, oil pressure and
amperage, however, the fuel gauge is inop. The center console has
aged well and the horseshoe shifter is another "heavy" touch.
Completing the interior are an aftermarket AM/FM stereo with a
cassette deck and a remote-adjustable driver's side Sport Mirror.
Most of the engine and drivetrain components were carried over from
1969, with the exception of the 230 CID�six-cylinder�� the base
engine was now the 250�CID six. Besides the base model, buyers
could select the Rally Sport option with a distinctive nose and
bumper, a Super Sport package and the Z-28 Special Performance
Package. The new body style featured a fastback roofline and
ventless full-door glass with no rear side quarter windows. Doors
were longer to permit easier access to the rear seat and new
pull-up handles replaced the old ones, for which the lower button
had to be pushed in to open the door. The roof was a new
double-shell unit for improved rollover protection and noise
reduction. The base model featured a separate bumper/grille design
with parking lights under the bumper, while the Rally Sport option
included a distinctive grille surrounded by a flexible Endura
material along with round parking lights beside the headlights and
bumperettes surrounding on both sides of the grille. The rear was
highlighted by four round taillights similar to the Corvette.
A�convertible�was not offered, making this the only Camaro
generation without one. The 1970, often mistakenly referred to as a
70��was the first Camaro offered with a rear stabilizer bar.
Inside, a new curved instrument panel featured several round dials
for gauges and other switches directly in front of the driver while
the lower section included the heating/air conditioning controls to
the driver's left and radio, cigarette lighter and ashtray in the
center and glovebox door on the right. New Strato bucket seats,
unique to 1970 models, featured squared-off seatbacks and
adjustable headrests and the rear seating consisted of two bucket
cushions and a bench seat back due to the
higher�transmission�tunnel. The optional center console, with
standard�Hurst�shifter,�was now integrated into the lower dashboard
with small storage area or optional stereo tape player. The
standard interior featured all-vinyl upholstery and a matte black
dashboard finish, while an optional custom interior came with
upgraded cloth or vinyl upholstery and woodgrain trim on dash and
console. The 1970 model was introduced to the assembly plants in
February 1970, halfway through the model year. The 1970 model year
vehicles are generally regarded as the most desirable of the early
second-generation Camaros, since the performance of following years
was reduced by the�automobile emissions control�systems of the
period and later the addition of heavy federally mandated bumpers.
Competition to this Camaro in 1970 included American Motors' AMX
and Javelin, the Avanti II, Datsun's 240Z, the new-for-1970 Dodge
Challenger, Ford's Mustang, Mercury's Cougar and Pontiac's
Firebird. F-body fans should rejoice over this find but this Camaro
will not likely hang around long, so if you're interested, please
