Dubbed "Super Hugger" - the second-generation Camaro was developed
without the rush of the first generation and benefited from a
greater budget justified by the success of the first generation.
Although it was an all-new car, the basic mechanical layout of the
new Camaro was familiar, engineered much like its predecessor with
a unibody structure utilizing a front subframe, A-arm and coil
spring front suspension, and rear leaf springs.
The chassis and suspension of the second generation were greatly
refined in both performance and comfort; base models offered
significant advances in sound-proofing, ride isolation, and
road-holding. Extensive experience Chevrolet engineers had gained
racing the first-generation led directly to advances in
second-generation Camaro steering, braking, and balance.
The 1970, often referred to as a 70� Split Bumper because the first
1970 Camaros didn't hit show floors until February 1970, was the
first Camaro offered with a rear stabilizer bar.
Most of the engine and drivetrain components were carried over from
1969, but a new body style featured a fastback roofline and
ventless full-door glass with no rear side quarter windows. Doors
were wider to permit easier access to the rear seat, and new
pull-up handles replaced the old handles, 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
not to offer one
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.
This 1970 Beauty has been beautifully built with an amazing paint
job and a perfect stance. It is finished in Candy Apple red with
ghost rally stripes by Timeless Kustoms. With 675 Horsepower and a
killer look, this Split Bumper will break necks.
