This comprehensively restored 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS 396 marries muscle-car performance with pickup utility. According to original sales paperwork, it retains its L34 396 cu in Turbo-Jet V8, factory-rated at 350 hp. Power is routed through a Muncie M21 close-ratio 4-speed to a 12-bolt rear axle, while the SS package adds a functional cowl-induction hood and heavy-duty suspension for sharper handling.
1970 styling updates—a squared-off nose, dual headlights and bold SS grille—are accentuated by a deep Black Cherry paint respray and correct Super Sport striping. Inside, Strato-bucket seats, center console and a Hurst shifter create a driver-focused cockpit; factory air-conditioning, power steering and power front disc brakes provide everyday comfort. A meticulous frame-off restoration using many NOS parts, plus registration in the El Camino Registry, make this highly optioned SS a turn-key collectible.
