Vehicle Description
The gentleman's pickup is a unique piece of the classic American
automotive landscape, and so it's great to have an example
presented so nicely. With great glossy paint, a sporty bucket seat
interior, and plenty of big block V8 power, this 1970 Chevrolet El
Camino SS is a distinct vintage machine.
This is one of the most iconic years for the style of the
Chevelle/El Camino. But more than just the best designed
sheetmetal, the paint provides an instant attraction to this El
Camino. Red is always a striking color, but you can tell from the
high gloss presentation that someone cared about attracting all the
right attention. And we all love the look of those painted black
stripes against the bold red. This is a true uniform color package
as the black vinyl roof and the black bed paint match the accent
color and add a premium touch. Plus, it has all the right
aggressive pieces like the blacked-out SS grille, matching tailgate
panel, and a cowl induction hood. And while this has a truly
muscular presence, we know that no classic American can be complete
without good brightwork. That's why you have a mirror-like shine on
everything from the big chrome bumpers to the polished American
Racing Torq Thrust wheels.
More of the Chevelle SS-style DNA is shared on the inside with
bucket seats and a center console. We love it when the exterior
stripes are a preview of the interior color, and you can tell there
was a solid investment inside. That's why the seats feel crisp, the
carpeting is fresh, the headliner is strong, and the door panels
are like-new. Plus, this one is loaded with the best features, like
the upgraded AM/FM stereo with digital tuner and provisions for
R134a air conditioning. But more than just nice luxuries, this is a
true driver's machine. Your right hand will be instantly attracted
to the iconic horseshoe shifter. Your left one will love the grip
of the dual-spoke steering wheel. And beyond that is the correct
U14 full round gauge panel that includes a large speedo and tach -
exactly what you want for an ideal SS package.
We always love seeing big block power filling in the engine bay on
these El Caminos. In fact, while the decal says 396, that's bit of
a fib... because it's a larger 454 cubic-inch V8. It has a terrific
style with the bold block paint, polished valve covers, and
matching air topper. Plus, this big block inhales deeply with an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock Performer intake.
And it exhales with true big block authority out of the performance
X-pipe dual exhaust. More than just a big motor machine, this is
also a great cruiser. The TH400 three-speed transmission is Chevy's
stout unity that's good at both handling all the power as well as
providing automatic driving comfort. They even upgraded to an
aluminum radiator to help keep the whole package running cool. Add
in power steering and front disc brakes, and this El Camino is
built for driving.
When you can get iconic sheetmetal, great coordinating colors, and
plenty of power all for such an obtainable price, well then, you
know this El Camino SS is a deal that will be gone soon. Don't miss
