The El Camino 'passenger-car pickup' was first introduced in 1959 and was, along wîth the 1960 edition, based on the full-size Chevrolet. Following a three-year pause, the El Camino resumed for 1964, as an offshoot of the new intermediate-sized 1964 Chevelle. The restyled 1968 El Camino was as sleek as any vehicle wîth a pickup bed could be. That same year, the El Camino was finally presented wîth Super Sport equipment, and buyers could fully partake of the additional musclecar options offered for the Chevelle SS. The 1970 El Camino SS, stuffed wîth 396- or 454-cid Chevy big-block power, is the ultimate El Camino of the musclecar age.

This El Camino SS is uncommonly and desirably equipped with the big-block 454-cid, 360-hp V-8 engine that is mated to a console-mounted automatic transmission. The car also has a Cowl Induction hood that is detailed with stripes and lock-down pins. Car-like luxury accompanies the Chevy by having factory air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, optional vinyl roof; power windows, steering and brakes. This is a very nice vehicle that is well-presented. The Black paint with black interior, plus Firestone Wide Oval tires and factory sport wheels complete a classic musclecar look on this versatile platform.
