We love the El Caminos from this era. They had the same face and
ride as the legendary Chevelles, but they did it in smaller
production numbers. They also arguably did it with more flair than
the Chevelle with the way this 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS 454
Tribute has a hint of the flying buttress at the rear window that
the coupes lost a few years prior. But you're not interested in the
elegance of this one. Instead, you can tell that it gets the Super
Sport tribute style right. The sleek hugger Orange Paint is a GM
muscle car/truck favorite. The sporty cowl hood contains the
performance-built big block power within. The bucket-seat interior
has a driver-oriented feel. And take some time to look at all the
suspension investments underneath. Plus, there are some fun details
you can only get in an El Camino, like how painted the bed a
practical black can go so well with sporty features like the
blackout grille and painted racing stripes.

The bright finish and awesome stance already make this one a ton of
fun. But it also doesn't take much to see the investment made sure
there was a ton of substance behind the style. Tubular A-arms,
boxed rear arms, and a stout 12-bolt Positraction rear end really
know how to make the most of this enhanced big block power. So it's
an all-around solid driver that also always feels like it's ready
to add some serious thunder to the streets. We bet you're more
likely to continue to treat this with a high degree of respect and
less like a quarter-mile burner. Still, the heart of the appeal is
just how much earned intimidation this one brings to the blacktop
even when you're just out cruising. Call today!!!
