1970 Chevrolet Camaro Hardtop
Everyone oohs and ahhhhh over the first gen Camaro and rightfully so. It is definitely a classic and collectable. However if you want to get in on the rising curve of the collectable market, you should seriously look into the F2 generation of the Camaro. It has great lines, a V grille and headlights within the quarters that give it a newer look. Scoring an RS or SS version of can be tricky and you need to watch the market. Here at CAM, you never know what is coming through the door, adding to the suspense. Await no longer, a rigging value collectable just drove through our intake door, and is now available.
For consignment, a 1970 Camaro, worked carefully to be an SS/RS clone, and the restorer did an A-1 job. A snappy 350 V8 with some goodies bolted on and put within, silver with black painted stripes exterior, and 15-inch Torque Thrust wheels, and you will be able to parade up Main Street while in the back of your mind you will be making money. An investment in the future if you will.
Exterior
With a silver respray color change on, this rest-car has plenty of spit shine left on the steel. Exterior gaps are good, and panels remain straight. Black painted on racing stripes start at the front of the hood which has taken on a somewhat Trans Am look with a V front grille, single headlights and round parking /signal lighting just next to the grille. Front split bumpers, only on the corners, are mirror-like, and all trim remains very nicely preserved. Starting in 1970, began the years when GM began to change the design of the Camaro, and blurred the lines between a Camaro and a Pontiac, give a gaze to the front of the car and it will pan out! Right down to the black chino spoiler. Not a true "beak" but certainly features that resemble each other. Nice window trimmings frame tinted glass. The back of the car lowers in a gentle slope and ends in a rear spoiler. Bringing up the rear of the car are dual round tail lights and a solid bumper with a dip in the center to frame the bottom of the license plate. More black striping is seen racing front of rear glass to the top of the tail light panel. 15 inch polished lip Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in BFG raised white letter Radial T/A's are 215/65R15's in front, and 245/60R15's in back, all from 2016. No runs, no drips, no errors on this beauty.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we note some upgrades for the more modern look including starting with the dash which has the original layout, but now graced with brightly lit Dakota Digital gauges. The black textured background is immaculate, and a padded black dash top frames the top. Moving to the center we note a SONY aftermarket radio which has AM/FM/CD/Aux capabilities. Above are two air conditioning and heating vents molded into the dash, and for the passenger and under the dash glove box with a shiny Camaro badge. A center console is between 2 low back buckets covered in vinyl with separate headrests. The doors use this too, and look ;like they came right off the factory floor. Black carpeting covers the floors, and a rear bench, also pristine, occupies the back of the interior, allowing extra guests to experience the thrill ride. A tight black headliner is above and a shout to the console that uses a Hurst shifter.
Drivetrain
Under the hood in a perfectly restored black painted engine bay is now a shiny 350ci V8, (circa 1969-79). Within its confines is an Erson .480 lift cam, and it has aftermarket aluminum heads and roller rockers. This mill is fed by FiTech fuel injection with an aluminum intake manifold, and pond back is a Muncie M20 4 speed manual transmission. On the back, the rear tires smoke with a 10 bolt, 2.73 gear rear axle. Hooker headers are on for the big exhale, and free flowing Dynomax mufflers aid in the expulsion. All work was done in 2020.
Undercarriage
Independent coil springs for the front and for the rear leaf springs. Front power disc brakes for this clone, and rear power drums slow it for the woah. Black painted steel unibody and stamped floor pans barely have a mark on them. Get a large mirror for shows for this Camaro. Breathe deep, now exhale! Woosh...hold on to the Jesus bar.
Drive-Ability
Yes! Yes! Yes! It definitely drives, it certainly starts, and it offers up plenty of ear candy when the throttle is pushed. Climbing in is a bit much for this 63 year young writer, but once in it is comfortable, and all is working well. Definitely an all polished like a shiny silver and black striped apple, eager to give a teaching lesson to a lesser vehicle who dares to step up to the line...
At first glance an original 1970 style Camaro nearly looks pliable, a sleeper grocery getter. But if we dig deeper, there is plenty of extra blood, sweat and tears that went into this car on the mechanical front, and if remotely interested, you should have a gander at the specs, which are extensively documented. This car has the original; Protecto-Plate docs, owners manual and shop repair books. Shall I kick your Mustang ass now, or later?!
