Vehicle Description
This 1970 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS is the kind of classics we're all
hunting for. After all, it's not only a real-deal Rally Sport and
Super Sport, but also it has many of these features in a
survivor-style presentation. Even the V8 is the numbers-matching
unit! But the shine of the paint also tells you there have been the
right investments along the way, too.
This was the year the Camaro really changed the game. The debut of
the second generation showcased a long hood, short deck machine
that was built for owning the streets. The front air dam and
full-width rear spoiler added to this look. And this was the first
year for the now-iconic split-bumper RS front end that made way for
the unobstructed blacked-out grille. So it really looks like it
just wants to consume all the lesser cars. Plus, this one has some
added aggression with a few nice period-correct upgrades like the
dark five-spoke wheels and dual stripes borrowed from the Z/28
package. But this Camaro has something extra going for it, too. The
factory-correct Classic Copper paint has been given a professional
respray that really makes it pop when the sunshine finds the
sheetmetal. And the white vinyl top not only looks great against
the upgraded white stripes, but also it's believed to be original.
So it's a premium piece that tells part of this classic coupe's
full history.
The sandalwood interior and tan carpeting have a nice tone against
the exterior copper and white. And the wood-like accents are a
great classic touch. So it's great to have such a highly original
interior. In fact, this has a ton of desirable features, and they
all seem to be original. So GM fans will marvel at everything from
the headrest in the low-back bucket seats to the AM/FM stereo.
Open the hood for a true lesson in survivor cars. The original
numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8 looks great with the correct
Chevy orange on the block and valve covers. And so many of the
details are correct, too, right down to the factory decals. But
this has also been maintained along the way. Fresher hoses, nice
wires, a newer brake booster are part of a package that lets you
understand why this one runs so well. The V8 inhales deeply with
the proper Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor, and it makes a sweet
sound out of a newer dual exhaust. And more than just a collectable
classic, this is also an excellent cruiser. The power brakes
w/discs up front, power steering, and three-speed automatic
transmission (believed original), all make for an easy vintage
driving experience.
Complete with owner's manual and a reproduction buildsheet, this is
the first-year second-gen Camaro with that RS/SS packaging we all
want. So when something this authentic is up for grabs, it's time
to take notice. Call today!!!
