Without a doubt the gentleman's pickup is a unique piece of the classic American automotive landscape. With great glossy paint, a comfortable bold interior, and plenty of V8 power, this 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS is an awesome and affordable vintage machine.This is one of the most iconic years for the style of the Chevelle/El Camino. But more than just the best designed sheetmetal, the paint provides an instant attraction to this El Camino. Red is always an striking color, but you can tell from the high gloss presentation that someone cared about attracting all the right attention. And we all love the look of those painted black stripes against the bold red. This is a true uniform color package as the black vinyl roof and the black bed paint match the accent color and add a premium touch. Plus, this one has all the right aggressive pieces like the blacked-out SS grille, hood pins, and proper cowl induction hood. And while this has a truly muscular presence, we know that no classic American can be complete without good brightwork. That's why you have a mirror-like shine on everything from the newer bumpers to the 15-inch Rally wheels.Inside is more of this terrific color coordination. It starts with the red and black returning on the custom bench seat. Not only does this look great, but also you'll appreciate the comfortable cloth inserts. This one has a bit of a premium feeling with the wood appearance on the dash and the upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo. But once you grab the more modern Chevy sports steering wheel with your left hand, lay your right one on the B&M shifter, and see the full auxiliary gauge trio, you'll soon realize that this El Camino is all about being a driving machine.This 350 cubic-inch V8 is going for a bit of a mean streak with the black painted block blending in with the fresher hoses and fan shroud. But what you'll really like is that this crate motor has been enhanced with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake, and ceramic-coated headers. It fires up nicely, and there's a fine rumble from the dual exhaust... but this one is much more than just great V8 rumble. The Chevelle connection is felt on the road with a nice car-like ride that's backed up by great driving features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, front sway bar, newer bushings, and front disc brakes.When you can get iconic sheetmetal, great coordinating colors, and plenty of power all for such an affordable price, well then, you know this El Camino SS is a deal that will be gone soon.
