HIGHLIGHTS: -Cold A/C! Power windows! -350 V8! -TH350 automatic
transmission! -Power steering & power front disc brakes! This 1970
Chevrolet El Camino is a quintessential muscle machine that
perfectly captures the bold attitude of the early seventies.
Screaming for attention in Hugger Orange with classic white
stripes, this car-truck warrior trades subtle styling for pure curb
appeal. Under the hood is a dependable 350ci V8 paired with a
smooth TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and a stout 12-bolt
rear end. Complete with comfort features like air conditioning and
power windows, this El Camino is a turn-key cruiser that is ready
to bring some vintage thunder to your local car scene! BODY
OVERVIEW: The sheet metal on this El Camino presents as a very
solid example, maintaining straight lines and structure both up top
and underneath. Because this is an older restoration that has spent
time doing what classic Chevys do best (driving!), the
undercarriage exhibits typical signs of age and road use rather
than clinical, fresh-off-the-rotisserie perfection. It is a solid,
honest foundation that has avoided the structural pitfalls common
to these utility coupes, giving you a sturdy platform you can
actually drive without constant anxiety and cleaning. Looking
underneath this El Camino, and you'll see a lot of exactly what you
want to see: clean, original metal. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The
Hugger Orange paint with white stripes is an older repaint that is
still sure to command respect, offering a great shine and showing
very well. Up close, it reveals itself as a beautiful
""driver-quality"" paint job, bearing a realistic collection of
character marks including scratches, dings, chips, and minor cracks
consistent with its age. It is the kind of finish that looks
fantastic under the lights of a local cruise-in but spares you from
losing sleep if a rogue pebble flips up on the highway! The SS
badging combined with the stripes really puts this El Camino over
the edge, and it absolutely turns heads wherever you take it!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: Inside the cabin, you are greeted by a
well-appointed tan cloth and vinyl interior that serves as a warm
contrast to the bright orange exterior. The comfort options are
highly impressive for 1970, featuring power windows, a tilt
steering column, and cold air conditioning to keep things
comfortable during summer cruises. An AM/FM stereo sits in the
dashboard, and the overall upholstery and trim present a clean,
inviting space that makes long stretches behind the wheel a
pleasure. Overall, the interior is in nice condition and shows
well, but it isn't fresh so there are some minor signs of age and
use present. MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: The 350ci V8 in the engine bay is
dressed to impress, featuring an Edelbrock aluminum intake, a
Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor, orange aftermarket Chevrolet-script
valve covers, and a chrome Edelbrock air cleaner. A Champion
aluminum radiator with a chrome cover keeps the small-block running
cool, while power front disc brakes ensure confident stopping
power. The soundtrack is handled by longtube headers feeding into a
dual exhaust system complete with a crossover pipe and Flowmaster
mufflers, giving this Chevy a deep, authoritative rumble that
announces your arrival long before you come into view! This El
Camino fires easily, and runs smoother than one would expect. The
throttle is very responsive, and though its no big block, this El
Camino can sure get up and go when you want it to! From a
mechanical standpoint, this is a stout little cruiser that seems
ready to go. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: You will love the
pure nostalgia and immediate attention that comes with driving a
Hugger Orange Mopar-eater with a throaty Flowmaster exhaust note.
The combination of the 12-bolt rear end and a sorted 350 V8 gives
it great street manners and plenty of muscle car character. Plus,
the convenience of power windows, power brakes, and factory air
conditioning means you get the classic muscle experience without
having to suffer through hot afternoon traffic! WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE
ABOUT THIS CAR: If you are looking for a flawless, museum-grade
trailer queen to judge with a magnifying glass, the imperfections
in this vehicle will likely keep you awake at night. This is a
quality car, built to be driven and enjoyed-not a showpiece meant
to be stored in a bubble! DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? While this El
Camino is a turn-key runner, and has no known urgent needs, it
could use a couple of odds and ends to realize its full potential.
The tires are currently showing signs of aging and should be
replaced before embarking on any major escapades. Furthermore, the
AM/FM stereo does not currently power on, but this could be the
excuse you need to upgrade to a Retrosound! WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING
FOR THIS CAR? This car is tailor-made for the enthusiast who wants
a legendary body style in a quintessential color scheme without
paying a six-figure price tag. It is perfect for the buyer who
wants a fun, usable classic that is ready for the local show
circuit today, but who also enjoys the process of doing minor
tinkering on the weekends. If you value mechanical substance, a
solid body, and head-turning muscle car looks, this El Camino is
ready to park in your garage! Contact Rare Rides Company at
