Vehicle Description
Over the past 111 years, GM's monolithic Chevrolet division has
built a vast empire of lovable offerings that span the entire
spectrum of personal and commercial transportation. One of the most
substantial products of that innovation is the legendary Chevelle.
Introduced in 1964 as an affordable mid-size, Chevy's stalwart
A-Body was peddled in a wide variety of flavors, including coupes,
sedans, wagons and, of course, the iconic El Camino. An innovative
forerunner to the wave of utilities the market is currently
enjoying, the El Camino mounted a low slung truck bed behind
timeless style and serious cubic inches. This exceptional, registry
listed El Camino is a fully documented, freshly restored bombshell
that features a roster of correct components and authentic LS6
power. And if you're looking for some awesome metal that's fresh,
alluring and highly exclusive, you simply won't find a better
classic!
THE ULTIMATE
Documented by the LS6 Registry for over a decade, this show
stopping El Camino is 100% factory correct thanks to a multi-year
rotisserie restoration that's rolled just three miles since
completion. Rare, just more than 4,000 Chevrolets were built in
1970 equipped with the LS6 option; of those, the rarest was the El
Camino. Most experts agree just about 500 were built and only a
handful of authentic LS6 El Caminos remain in existence. This
professional build, completed by Spring Hill, Florida's Gulf Coast
Automotive, supplements largely original panels with minor NOS
repairs under correct Fathom Blue two-stage that's as beautiful as
it is enduring. Kansas-flat surfaces, aligned much better than
anything that left the factory, frame solid shuts in excellent
reflections. And one close look at our high resolution photos
reveals one highly polished collector car that's ready to rule the
show!
It's hard not to smile when you see a Chevy this cool. After all,
what's not to love about killer Chevelle aesthetics that are made
even more exclusive by a stylish pickup bed? At the front of this
beast, a split Super Sport grille hangs an NOS "SS" emblem between
a small "CHEVROLET" script, stainless-trimmed T3 headlights and a
broad chrome bumper. At the top of that clip, a stainless-trimmed
Super Sport Hood leads a stainless-trimmed greenhouse that's
reflected in a polished factory mirror. Below that
restoration-fresh glass, NOS wheel trim joins clean marker lamps to
frame polished door handles, classy "El Camino" lettering and
bright "SS454" badging. And at the back of the car, a
bowtie-branded tailgate centers a requisite Super Sport banner
between simple taillights, a stainless-trimmed bed and a second
broad bumper.
IT HAULS
If you know bowtie history, you know that roughly 4,000 1970
Chevelles were gifted with Chevrolet's lethal LS6 454. These cars
were the true performers of the Chevelle world, often screaming up
dragstrips and beating their way through daily stoplight squabbles.
That said, how cool would it have been to option an El Camino with
LS6 power? Well, according to experts, roughly 500 buyers were
crazy enough to check that box and, naturally, fewer still exist
today. Pop this classic's hood and you'll find 454 cubic inches of
Chevy Orange glory that follows a matching 210296 partial VIN with
a correct "CRV" suffix stamp, a correct 3963512 casting number and
a correct March � 23rd (23) 1970 (70) casting date. The fun kicks
off with a rare dual-snorkel air cleaner that feeds a familiar LIST
4557 Holley 4-barrel. That carb rides a correct Winters low-rise
intake that's threaded to date-correct Chevrolet heads. An old
school points distributor sequences fire through loomed Packard TV
R Suppression cables. Traditional solid lifters work well with a
hot COMP cam that was created as a precise reproduction of the
car's original cam profile. Original deep groove pulleys spin a
correct alternator, a correct smog pump and an original water pump
between an original timing cover and an original radiator.
Detailing includes niceties like fresh decals, an original
Delco-Moraine brake booster and a Delco-capped battery. And
naturally, the rowdy big block rides in a crisp, Satin Black engine
bay.
STRICTLY RETRO
By now you've probably realized that this Camino's restorer was
very particular about its detailed rebuild. With that in mind, it
should come as no surprise that the bottom of this Chevy is just as
nice as the rest of the car. The buff 454 spins a date-correct
Muncie 4-speed that, according to its "C" assembly stamp, features
M22 'Rock Crusher' internals. That gearbox sends torque to a
correct 12-bolt axle that, according to its "CRV" assembly stamp,
features a correct posi-traction differential, correct 3.31 gears
and a heavy duty yoke. That spry drivetrain rides a clean, Satin
Black frame, which rolls on a fully rebuilt suspension that's
finished with Monroe air shocks and correct manual steering. Power
assisted calipers clamp original-style, two-piece rotors in front
of hearty drums. Exhaust flows from correct manifolds to correct
Gardner pipes, which include throaty, factory-style mufflers. And
at the corners, stylish Super Sport Wheels spin F70-14 Firestone
Wide Oval meats around stainless trim rings and SS center caps.
SIMPLY GREAT
Clean and correct, this ute's tranquil Medium Blue cockpit is
splendidly nostalgic. A predictable bench seat, completely restored
during the detailed restoration, remains soft to the touch. A
straight Super Sport dash plants a correct Delco AM radio next to
optional Deluxe Telemetry that, of course, was professionally
rebuilt. Below that dash, bright carpet frames a flashy Muncie
shifter. At the sides of that carpet, restoration-fresh door panels
center classy stainless trim on bright handles and pliable
armrests. And the driver turns a factory Super Sport steering
wheel.
There's no question this exceptional El Camino is the total
package! With a king-of-the-mountain big block, unmatched
exclusivity and a fresh rotisserie restoration, it was and still
remains an excellent example of 'bragging rights' muscle. Ready to
