1970 Chevrolet El Camino

This 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS 396 is a documented Super Sport example that captures the spirit of Chevrolet's muscle car era at its peak. Sold new at Seltzer Chevrolet in Yukon, Oklahoma, this SS is supported by original sales documents and dealer paperwork and is also listed in the El Camino Registry, verifying its factory SS identity. It was treated to a full frame-off restoration completed with a high level of detail, incorporating numerous new-old-stock components to maintain an authentic, factory-correct presentation. The Black Cherry finish is deep and lustrous, accented by painted black SS stripes that flow over the functional cowl-induction hood. Every panel presents straight and crisp, a testament to the quality of the restoration and the solid foundation of the vehicle itself. The front end makes an immediate impression with quad T3 headlights and a blacked-out grille framed by polished chrome, while SS badging proudly marks its performance pedigree. Bright trim and Rally wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires deliver the correct period stance, and the undercarriage presents just as well, showing clean finishes and properly detailed suspension components. From every angle, this El Camino carries the unmistakable presence of Chevrolet's Super Sport era, paired with the unique utility that defines the El Camino. Under the hood sits a date-correct 396ci big-block Chevrolet V8, finished in Chevrolet Orange, fed by a 4-barrel carburetor. A chrome air cleaner lid with factory callouts reinforces the car's period-correct appearance, while power steering and power disc brakes contribute to confident, usable performance. Power is delivered through a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission consistent with the car's factory-ordered configuration, and sent to a 12-bolt Positraction rear axle. Beneath the car, the chassis benefits from the F41 heavy-duty suspension package, including front and rear sway bars, giving this El Camino sharper handling than many of its muscle car contemporaries. A factory-style dual exhaust system completes the package, delivering the unmistakable tone of Chevrolet big-block power. The interior is finished in black vinyl with bucket seats and a center console, presenting a clean and purposeful SS cockpit. A Hurst shifter reflects the car's current 4-speed configuration, while the 3-spoke sport steering wheel frames a round-gauge instrument cluster. Comfort and convenience remain well represented, with factory air conditioning, a tilt steering column, and an AM/FM radio among the options. Details throughout, from the console trim to the dash brightwork, reflect a cabin restored with accuracy and care. What sets this El Camino apart is the strength of its documentation and presentation. The car is accompanied by original paperwork from Seltzer Chevrolet, including the bill of sale, retail order, and supporting documents that confirm its original SS configuration and early ownership history. Combined with its registry listing and comprehensive restoration, it presents as a well-documented and thoughtfully maintained Super Sport. The 1970 model year is widely regarded as the high-water mark of Chevrolet's A-body performance era, and the El Camino SS stands as one of its most distinctive expressions. With its big-block power, desirable options, documented history, and sharp presentation, this SS 396 offers an opportunity to own a versatile and iconic piece of Chevrolet muscle car history.
