Really nice 1970 El Camino SS 396. True SS as verified by VIN decode/Trim Tag. I am a regular buyer at auctions and can attest all vehicles I have bought at auction have issues ranging from minor to serious. Part of the fun for me is buying these and correcting issues, enjoying them for a while, then sending them on to a new home. I bought this El Camino at McCormick's Auction in February 2015 and have sorted out some nagging drivability issues. I noticed it was previously a no-sale at Mecum in Anaheim in Fall 2014 and I feel I bought it fair at the Palm Springs Auction early 2015. I have taken this car to many local cruise nights in and around Salt Lake City where it draws a lot of attention. I bought this car because the aesthetics of the restoration were spot on. The bodywork and paint are flawless (top and bottom side). The under-hood is very correct, tidy, and clean. I noticed in prior pictures of this car, it had a 375HP sticker on the air-cleaner which was technically incorrect based on the lower redline tachometer in the car. I believe the prior owner recognized this and removed the 375hp label. It should show 350hp. I have ordered the correct indicator which is missing in the pictures. I have thoroughly gone through all of the mechanical systems. All suspension bushings appeared to be new with the exception of the rear track arms and panhard bushings. I have had these replaced with new and everything now feels very tight. Brakes work perfectly and appear to be very freshly re-done. Underside of this El Camino is very clean. The car tracks and brakes very straight. When testing the engine for emissions, I noted the hydrocarbons readings were way high off the charts which I diagnosed back to timing adjustments and a carburetor that needed rebuild. Rather than rebuild, I purchased a correct Quadrajet upgraded by JET (Stage 2) and installed. I also added higher quality plug wires and new spark plugs. The engine now runs really good, strong, and clean. Based on the condition of the underhood and underside of the car, I'd say there is likely few miles on this vehicle since the power plant was last reinstalled. The transmission shifts perfectly. This was an original California car and I have the original California black/gold License plates that were first issued to this vehicle. This El Camino is highly equipped with Power Steering, Power Disc (Front) Brakes, Deluxe Bucket Interior with center console, SS Mag Wheels, and Factory A/C. There are two items remaining that would make this car stunning. Both items have been on my list of to-do's for too long and I have too many other projects. The window channel rubber really should be replaced. The window sill rubber (bottom horizontal) looks very fresh but for some reason the channel rubber (vertical rubber) is showing age. I have the replacement rubber from OPGI but I haven't yet replaced it which involves removing the door glass (new channel rubber included with sale). Also, the dash illumination and a couple gauges are not operating correctly. If I was going through all of the trouble to tear the dash apart to debug, I would consider just putting in a fresh under dash wiring harness. All in all, probably 10 hours of work by a home mechanic to solve both issues. This is a very good honest car with what I have disclosed above. I would not hesitate driving it long distances (although it's too nice of shape to risk road debris). If you love the Chevrolet El Camino, you have the 1970 SS near the top of your favorite years. This is a car you can buy and truly enjoy for generations whether it be for show/shine or as a fun cruiser. Inspections welcome.... If you are a serious buyer with questions, message me and I'll send you my phone # so we can discuss the car. Serious offers considered. I'm happy to deliver up to 500 miles from Salt Lake City. Otherwise, I am happy to accommodate whatever shipping arrangements and timing you require. (Short-term storage not an issue).
