1970 Chevrolet Camaro

Description

The 1970 Chevrolet Camaro ushered in a new generation of the GM F-body, but that's not why you love this one. Instead, you instantly recognized the powerful details on this coupe, and it has the enhanced big block power and four-on-the-floor to back it all up.

This year brought a new look with a more powerful presence. The long hood with the sleek sloping rear just looked fast standing still. And the brightwork has nice details everywhere from the sharply pointed front bumper, to the trim around the quad taillights. The sporty appearance is taken up a notch with the Z/28-style chin spoiler, full-width rear spoiler, and black racing stripes painted on top of the blue. And speaking of the car's blue paint, it's a more modern application that draws added attention. Plus, upgrades like the larger cowl hood and 18-inch alloys really help announce this coupe is something extra special.

You can instantly tell this Camaro wants to get down to business the moment you open the door. The bucket seats, door panels, headliner, and dash pad are all fresh and correct. There's some nice added comfort in places like the center console and provisions for an AM/FM/CD stereo with iPod input. But what you'll really love is the experience of grabbing the three-spoke sports steering wheel with your left hand, the Hurst shifter feels great in your right one, and seeing the bright blue glow of the gauge package. This gives you the tingle of performance even before you turn the key and head this one roar.

Chevy's initial intention was to offer the biggest of big block on the new 1970 Camaro. The 454 cubic-inch V8 had even made it into early literature, but they changed their mind before production began. So this one rectifies that oversight. This 454ci powerhouse grabs your attention in a big way with the fresh-looking components, bright valve covers, and bold block paint. There are great performance upgrades like a mild cam, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, ProComp aluminum intake, and long tube headers. This also has the right supporting components, like upgraded aluminum pulleys, an electronic ignition, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan. The dual exhaust has the unmistakable big block sound, and you get full control over the power and soundtrack with the four-speed manual transmission. Plus, power brakes w/discs up front and modern ZR-rated tires give you upgraded control.

We're told the story on this one is that it was built and long-term owned by a pro-level racer. And the power and flair this one has really supports this specialist-level tale. So if you love a custom big block classic cruiser, call today!
