Vehicle Description
1970 Red Chevrolet SS El Camino
What Makes This Car Special
Chevrolet El Camino is a coupe utility vehicle that was produced by
Chevrolet between 1959-1960 and 1964-1987. Unlike a pickup truck,
the El Camino was adapted from a two-door station wagon platform
that integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body while
production resumed for the 1964-1977 model years based on the
Chevelle platform.
Most collectors think the 1970 El Camino like the one we have here
at Skyway Classics is the most desirable body style of all. It
received sheet metal revisions back then that gave the bodies a
more squared-up stance and the interiors were also redesigned.
This 1970 Chevrolet El Camino has been restored with a much bigger
big block powerplant, bold red paint with white stripes, and plenty
of Super Sport attitude.
Mechanical
When you lift the hood on our El Camino you will find a built 496
cubic-inch monster big block Chevy V8 engine packing a whole lot of
horsepower and torque, let alone looking amazing sitting inside the
sharp painted and detailed engine compartment.
The 496 motor has a chrome Holley performance dual-line four-barrel
carburetor on top of the aluminum intake, big tube headers leading
back to the dual exhaust system with turbo type mufflers and rear
dumps, performance spark plug wires, chrome open air cleaner, huge
Chevrolet logo valve covers, performance distributer, power
steering and brakes, as well as air conditioning.
The column mounted automatic transmission is built for performance
and shifts smoothly and if you look through at the undercarriage
photos, you'll see a fresh presentation that also includes
upgrades, it sends the power back to the 12-bolt rear end that,
modified with ladder bars, heavy duty shocks and springs.
It also has the right stance with the Boss grey 5-spoke mag wheels
all around with fat black wall performance tires on all four.
Interior
A true muscle machine always has a black interior and this one has
a well-done restoration consisting of the front black vinyl bench
seat with headrests, matching door panels and dash, black
carpeting, air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo system, spoke chrome
sports steering wheel, factory gauges and auxiliary gauges are
crisp and clear.
Exterior
The 1970 El Caminos share the same single-year front end as its
Chevelle sibling, and the iconic look will always be in demand. Our
restoration has a Torch Red paint with great luster, fine body
fitment. White stripes over the cowl-induction hood, hood pins, the
blacked-out SS grille and rear panel, the new chrome bumpers, trim,
and even protective bed liner in the truck bed.
Conclusion
The very nice 1970 Chevrolet SS El Camino we have at Skyway
Classics is very well done and will make the new owner a great
cruiser to add to the collection.
It is a very strong runner with the upgraded 496 cubic inch engine
and matching drive train and looks and sounds great too.
