1970 Chevrolet El Camino

History

Chevrolet El Camino is a coupe utility vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet between 1959–1960 and 1964–1987. Unlike a pickup truck, the El Camino was adapted from a two-door station wagon platform that integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body.

Introduced in the 1959 model year in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero coupé utility, its first run lasted only two years. Production resumed for the 1964–1977 model years based on the Chevelle platform.

What Makes This Car Special

The 1970 El Camino, like the one we have here at Skyway Classics, received sheet metal revisions back then that gave the bodies a more squared-up stance and the interiors were also redesigned. Most collectors think the 1970 El Camino is the most desirable body style of all.

Mechanical

The Camino we have has a correct #3970010 350 cubic inch small block Chevy and 3-speed automatic. But that horsepower figure increases from what was stock with the addition of headers, dual exhaust system with new turbo type mufflers, performance spark plug wires, aluminum intake, performance carb, as well as additional accessories like the Edelbrock open air cleaner and valve covers, performance distributer, and in-line fuel filter.

It looks good with the Chevrolet factory Rally wheels with Fire Hawk Indy 500 performance tires and handles and stops great too with power front disc brakes and drum brakes on the rear, power steering as well as air conditioning.

Interior

The black split bench interior looks factory original as does the rest of the interior including the door panels, carpet, headliner and trim. It has an AM/FM Radio, 3-spoke Chevy steering wheel, accessory gauge package, and a performance tach.
It has all original seat belts, spare tire and tire jack mount behind the seat, and accessory floor mats.

Exterior

The 1970 has a great Metallic Blue paint color on the body with a pretty black vinyl top too. It has the factory correct badging, the bumpers are nice, lines and body panels look straight, and the trim is nice. A trunk bed liner is a plus too.

Conclusion

The very nice 1970 Chevrolet El Camino we have at Skyway Classics is very well done and will make the new owner a great cruiser to add to the collection. It is a very strong runner and looks and sounds great too. Come see it today.
