Vehicle Description
With the handsome good looks of a Chevelle and the utility of a
pickup, the El Camino offers the best of both worlds: performance
and practicality. This 1970 Chevrolet El Camino has been custom
built to further blur that muscle car/pickup line with a
performance 406 V8, bold looks, and added comfort.
A modern aggressive red is an awesome color on an El Camino, giving
it a slick style that disguises the pickup truck practicality
hiding within. So, it will attract plenty of attention going down
the road and when you show up for local cruise nights. Of course
the black SS stripes, badges on every side, hood pins, and a cowl
induction hood all gain instant respect. We always love the El
Caminos because they take the Chevelle's iconic design and give it
rarer and more interesting sheetmetal. So you see the familiar
features like the shapely grille, quad headlight design, bright
trim, and classic SS Mag wheels. And while this one already has a
stellar price, you can justify your purchase even more because
beneath the black tonneau cover is the usefulness of a truck
bed.
More of the Chevelle DNA is shared on the inside with the dash and
door panels showing their comfortable car-like roots. The same goes
for the front seat that's been upgraded to a power-adjustable bench
with comfortable fold-down armrest. There are some other great
added features like the LED lighting, cup holders, and AM/FM stereo
with digital tuner (the original radio also comes with the sale.)
You get the grippy factory two-spoke steering wheel, with gives you
a commanding view of the extra-long speedometer. Plus, you can
clearly see the auxiliary gauge trio and SunPro tach. These are a
clear indication of something special under the hood even before
you twist the key and hear it roar.
The engine bay is a V8 that's dressed to impress. There's plenty of
shine on the snorkel air grabber, valve covers, brake booster,
radiator shroud, and so much more - so you know this is the kind of
machine made to lift its hood wherever it parks. But beyond just
appearances, this V8 was built to run. It's a big 406 cubic-inch
powerplant that is enhanced with go-fast goodies like a mild cam,
Spectre dual plenum air grabber, QFT four-barrel carburetor, and
long tube headers. That last component not only adds power, but
also it helps contribute to the thunderous rumble of the dual
exhaust. Getting all of this to the ground is a stout TH400
three-speed automatic transmission with shift kit to remain in the
optimal powerband. Taking this mean machine out for a cruise is no
problem with great driving features such as power steering, front
disc brakes, and the modern grip of Goodyear Eagle ST tires at all
four corners.
Complete with owner's manual, you're probably doing a double take
on the price right now. After all, a '70 Chevelle in the same great
condition would cost a lot more. It's amazing this cool El Camino
gives you extra distinction and rarity for thousands less... but
only if you call now!
