Camaro. Historically, it's GM's golden child and arguably America's
favorite muscle car. -Motor Trend, February, 2009 Six years after
the assertion quoted above, Motor Trend cited 1970 as the year
Black Sabbath released their landmark, self-titled heavy metal
album, and linked that bit of rock history with what made the 1970
Camaro so special: That same year (1970), Chevrolet was getting
loud, too, by releasing their latest version of heavy metal: the
second-generation Camaro. Exterior-wise, the car appeared sleeker
and faster than the first-generation Camaro; and it was. What the
GM engineers learned from racing the first-gen led to the
improvements piled into the second-gen. Advances included better
braking, steering, and weight balance. The early '70s Camaros were
the epitome of muscle cars during that era. A Camaro sales brochure
put it this way, calling the Camaro SS A most unusual car from the
place you'd expect: Chevrolet's Sports Department. In 1970, the
Norwood, Ohio Chevrolet plant built the Camaro offered here, the
17,956th built there that year. Today, this Camaro shows the
benefits of fresh performance and aesthetic upgrades, yet still
retains the overall look and feel of the original car. The car's
exterior metallic dark green paint is complemented with Z28-type
stripes in metallic gold. The finish is the result of a
professional re-spray and is uniform in gloss and application
across the entire car. Original emblems and Camaro SS fender
badging have been retained. The split-bumper front grille is
original with one small missing grille-bar segment its only flaw. A
full-width lower-front black spoiler is mounted. Chrome bumpers
fore and aft, as well as chrome window trim, chrome exterior
mirrors, and classic Cragar 5-spoke chrome mag-style wheels
(mounted with BFGoodrich T/A performance, raised-white-letter
tires) all display excellent gloss and undamaged condition. Cabin
glass and lighting lenses are clear and free of cracks. Inside, the
black vinyl upholstery is original and has been properly
maintained; no rips or tears. In the same fashion, the condition of
the door trim (including roll-up window handles) is excellent. A
Chevrolet bowtie branded black steering wheel features a full array
of upgraded digital instruments-including a 160-mph speedometer and
separate tachometer-all with handsome brushed-metal faces and
fluorescent-red indicator needles. Although the air-conditioning
equipment has been removed to enhance the car's performance,
factory air-conditioning and heating controls and vents, as well as
a period-look radio, complete the original dash. The floor console
is home to the automatic-transmission shifter, with a storage
compartment between the bucket seats. A well-fitted black headliner
is in place. Under the hood, the performance improvements to the
350 cubic-inch V8 are hinted at by the Chevrolet-branded valve
covers, Edelbrock headers and intake manifold, and chrome
air-cleaner cover. (A sampling of the car's unmistakable
performance V8 engine note is available in the accompanying video
link.) The engine bay is very clean and tidy with original build
tags still in place. Viewed from below, the Camaro's chassis is
free of damage. The properly routed dual exhaust and free-flow
headers are the center of attention here. The condition of this '70
