1970 Chevrolet El Camino Custom
Car History
Chevrolet El Camino was 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.
The later El Caminos received sheet metal revisions back then that gave the bodies a more squared-up stance and the interiors were also redesigned. A lot of collectors think the 1970 El Camino is the most desirable body style of all.
The 1970 El Camino Custom we have here at Adventure Classics has had a frame-off resto around 2000 and was repainted in white with Imron paint, has a custom interior, and is powered by a Gen IV 6.0 LS engine with a Stage 1 LS3 cam and 102mm self-learning programmable induction/computer system with over 456 horsepower.
