Vehicle Description
Oh look, another clean 1970 Chevrolet Camaro, right? Well, you're
half right. This is definitely clean and it's definitely a
second-generation Camaro, but it also packs a brand new ZZ4 350
cubic inch V8 with all the right hardware to back it up, cold A/C,
and some upgraded wheels to make it handle. This is a no-excuses
F-body that's ready to enjoy right away.
This Camaro has been repainted just once in its original code Y
Daytona Yellow, which is really the right choice on a Camaro with
this much performance inside. Sprayed 25 years ago, it still looks
quite good with fantastic bodywork underneath that keeps all of the
original good looks of the second-gen Camaro intact; there's not
even a cowl induction hood. It does, however, wear a correct SS
grille, a subtle rear spoiler, and, of course, the black SS stripes
that only help the look. Great gaps, nice chrome, and that
beautifully preserved original vinyl top all make it look racy
without being over-done. There's also high-quality brightwork,
including bright bumpers, polished stainless window surrounds, and
those four familiar round taillights that look fantastic.
The black interior looks quite stock at first glance, but once you
climb behind the wheel you'll find a lot of smart upgrades. First
of all, those buckets are from a 2002 Camaro yet they look exactly
right here, maybe because of the F-body DNA. The seats feature
cloth inserts that are grippy and comfortable and the rear seats
have been upholstered to match. Matching black carpets,
nice-looking door panels, and a dashboard full of modern
instruments helps it feel updated without erasing the vintage vibe.
A three-spoke steering wheel with a leather rim seems appropriate
in a car with this much performance and the horseshoe shifter now
manages four gears instead of three thanks to a fresh 200-4R
4-speed automatic transmission. The A/C blows ice cold and a modern
AM/FM/CD/iPod stereo radio is neatly installed in the center of the
dash with a subwoofer in the trunk. The overall effect is very,
very impressive.
Yes, you did read that correctly, a brand new ZZ4 350 cubic inch
crate motor from General Motors Performance Parts was dropped
between the fenders and completely transforms the vintage Camro.
It's beautifully dressed with lots of chrome and polished aluminum,
those high-visibility finned valve covers, and a few splashes of
color like the bright red plug wires. A big Holley carburetor and
aluminum intake keep the small block fed and aluminum heads reduce
weight while adding power. The aforementioned 200-4R transmission
doesn't seem to mind the torque and with a 10-bolt out back full of
3.73 gears on a Posi, very few horses are escaping. The
undercarriage is clean and it's been upgraded to handle the power
with a bunch of Hotchkiss suspension upgrades. Long-tube headers
feed a custom X-pipe and a pair of Flowmaster mufflers, so the
soundtrack is spectacular at any speed. Trick 17-inch Rally wheels
are some of the best-looking rolling stock you can put on a vintage
Chevy and are fitted with 225/50/17 front and 275/50/17 rear Nitto
radials.
Upgraded just the way you'd do it yourself, this very cool Camaro
is the kind of car that earns respect the hard way and looks
awesome doing it. Call today!
