Vehicle Description
1970 Chevrolet CamaroHardtop
Everyone oohs and ahhhhh over the first gen Camaro and rightfully
so. It is definitely a classic and collectable. However if you want
to get in on the rising curve of the collectable market, you should
seriously look into the F2 generation of the Camaro. It has great
lines, a V grille and headlights within the quarters that give it a
newer look. Scoring an RS or SS version of can be tricky and you
need to watch the market. Here at CAM, you never know what is
coming through the door, adding to the suspense. Await no longer, a
rigging value collectable just drove through our intake door, and
is now available.
For consignment, a 1970 Camaro, worked carefully to be an SS/RS
clone, and the restorer did an A-1 job. A snappy 350 V8 with some
goodies bolted on and put within, silver with black painted stripes
exterior, and 15-inch Torque Thrust wheels, and you will be able to
parade up Main Street while in the back of your mind you will be
making money. An investment in the future if you will.
Exterior
With a silver respray color change on, this rest-car has plenty of
spit shine left on the steel. Exterior gaps are good, and panels
remain straight. Black painted on racing stripes start at the front
of the hood which has taken on a somewhat Trans Am look with a V
front grille, single headlights and round parking /signal lighting
just next to the grille. Front split bumpers, only on the corners,
are mirror-like, and all trim remains very nicely preserved.
Starting in 1970, began the years when GM began to change the
design of the Camaro, and blurred the lines between a Camaro and a
Pontiac, give a gaze to the front of the car and it will pan out!
Right down to the black chino spoiler. Not a true "beak" but
certainly features that resemble each other. Nice window trimmings
frame tinted glass. The back of the car lowers in a gentle slope
and ends in a rear spoiler. Bringing up the rear of the car are
dual round tail lights and a solid bumper with a dip in the center
to frame the bottom of the license plate. More black striping is
seen racing front of rear glass to the top of the tail light panel.
15 inch polished lip Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in BFG raised
white letter Radial T/A's are 215/65R15's in front, and 245/60R15's
in back, all from 2016. No runs, no drips, no errors on this
beauty.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we note some upgrades for the more modern
look including starting with the dash which has the original
layout, but now graced with brightly lit Dakota Digital gauges. The
black textured background is immaculate, and a padded black dash
top frames the top. Moving to the center we note a SONY aftermarket
radio which has AM/FM/CD/Aux capabilities. Above are two air
conditioning and heating vents molded into the dash, and for the
passenger and under the dash glove box with a shiny Camaro badge. A
center console is between 2 low back buckets covered in vinyl with
separate headrests. The doors use this too, and look ;like they
came right off the factory floor. Black carpeting covers the
floors, and a rear bench, also pristine, occupies the back of the
interior, allowing extra guests to experience the thrill ride. A
tight black headliner is above and a shout to the console that uses
a Hurst shifter.
Drivetrain
Under the hood in a perfectly restored black painted engine bay is
now a shiny 350ci V8, (circa 1969-79). Within its confines is an
Erson .480 lift cam, and it has aftermarket aluminum heads and
roller rockers. This mill is fed by FiTech fuel injection with an
aluminum intake manifold, and pond back is a Muncie M20 4 speed
manual transmission. On the back, the rear tires smoke with a 10
bolt, 2.73 gear rear axle. Hooker headers are on for the big
exhale, and free flowing Dynomax mufflers aid in the expulsion. All
work was done in 2020.
Undercarriage
Independent coil springs for the front and for the rear leaf
springs. Front power disc brakes for this clone, and rear power
drums slow it for the woah. Black painted steel unibody and stamped
floor pans barely have a mark on them. Get a large mirror for shows
for this Camaro. Breathe deep, now exhale! Woosh...hold on to the
Jesus bar.
Drive-Ability
Yes! Yes! Yes! It definitely drives, it certainly starts, and it
offers up plenty of ear candy when the throttle is pushed. Climbing
in is a bit much for this 63 year young writer, but once in it is
comfortable, and all is working well. Definitely an all polished
like a shiny silver and black striped apple, eager to give a
teaching lesson to a lesser vehicle who dares to step up to the
line...
At first glance an original 1970 style Camaro nearly looks pliable,
a sleeper grocery getter. But if we dig deeper, there is plenty of
extra blood , sweat and tears that went into this car on the
mechanical front, and if remotely interested, you should have a
gander at the specs, which are extensively documented. This car has
the original; Protecto-Plate docs, owners manual and shop repair
books. Shall I kick your Mustang ass now, or later?!
