Numbers Matching Car - LS5 454 Factory A/C, HIGHLY Optioned!
Lafontaine Classic Cars is pleased to announce the release of this
incredible 1970 Chevrolet El Camino in factory optioned Tuxedo
Black with white stripes and black interior. The options on this
rare find make it one of the most desirable examples only behind
the LS6 engine optioned models. This one is powered by the mighty
LS5 454 engine factory rated at 360hp (Chevrolet under rated the
advertised horsepower to not over shadow their flagship LS5
Corvette that was rated at 390hp) with an incredible 500ft lbs of
torque! Power is directed through a Turbo Hydramatic 400 (TH400) 3
speed automatic transmission that was the strongest offered by
Chevrolet in 1970. Out back is the correct 12 bolt posi-traction
rear end spinning both rear tires as you aggressively apply the gas
pedal.
Inside the black interior you will find the correct stock bench
seat and a host of factory options including: Air conditioning,
tilt wheel, AM/FM radio, power windows, power locks, cruise
control, power seat, tinted glass, and the sport gauge package with
factory tachometer. Additional options include power steering and
power front disc brakes to safely bring this Super Sport to a
stop.
Getting the power to the pavement are the factory 14x7 Super Sport
wheels with matching center caps and trim rings, wrapped in F70-14
Goodyear Poly-Glas, bias-ply, raised white letter tires. This
wheel/tire combination combined with the now standard for 1970, F41
suspension package, provided the best handling options by including
a 7/8"" diameter rear sway bar with boxed and welded lower rear
control arms.
When sitting in the driver's seat, you have a great view of the
iconic ""Cowl Induction"" door (or ""flapper"" as it's commonly
referred to) at the rear of the hood. At any point when the gas
pedal meets the floor, the Cowl Induction door opens wide,
directing cooler, fresh air directly to the Quadrajet 4-barrel
carburetor, maximizing performance.
The LS5 equipped '70 El Camino's are getting hard to find in this
condition, especially with this list of options. Call our team at
