There is something about a classic Chevrolet that speaks to a
certain kind of freedom and pride. This El Camino blends the
attitude of a muscle car with the practicality of a truck bed,
making a bold statement whether parked at a show or driven on a
Sunday cruise. It carries the presence of late 1960s design with
refreshed paint and a confident stance that turns heads. If you
have been looking for a nicely presented driver that still feels
authentic, consider this 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS with a numbers
matching 396 V8, four-speed manual and a slick recent repaint.
The interior presents a tidy, mostly original feeling with tasteful
updates. Medium blue 765-code coated fabric low back bucket seats
and a center console with shifter provide a comfortable driver
position. An aftermarket retro stereo and aux input keep things
modern for today, while auxiliary gauges add a period-correct
performance touch. The upholstery and trim show minimal wear, a mix
of original and replacement pieces, and overall the cabin feels
well cared for and ready to enjoy.
Under the hood sits the numbers matching 396 V8 and carries a 1970
date code and CTX suffix casting information. A FiTech electronic
fuel injection system has been fitted to improve drivability, while
the trans is a Muncie M20 four-speed that is non numbers matching.
Power is sent to a 12-bolt rear with a 3.31 gear ratio for relaxed
highway cruising. The car retains factory air conditioning
functionality and benefits from front power disc brakes, rear power
drums, A-arm front suspension with coil springs and coil springs in
back with shocks. Modern 17 inch alloy wheels that are styled to
resemble classic mag SS wheels wear 225/50ZR17 front and 245/50ZR17
rear tires and help the El Camino handle confidently on the
road.
