This 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS 454 Tribute is a ride that'll make you do a double-take. Cortez Silver paint shimmers in the sun, while bold black SS stripes confidently announce that this isn't your average grocery-getter. The aggressive cowl hood with pins hints at the power waiting to be unleashed. Rally-style 17-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires provide a modern, muscular stance. And just wait until you see the bed - that sleek black vinyl cover keeps your gear safe while looking good doing it. SS badges on the grille, fenders, and tailgate leave no question about this El Camino's performance aspirations.
Inside, the restored black vinyl bench seat looks factory-fresh, ready for you to slide in and get comfortable. Grip the SS steering wheel, gaze at the rally gauge pack with tach, and you'll swear it's 1970 again. But creature comforts like vintage air conditioning and a retro-style AM/FM radio with aux input bring you back to the present. The dash is in great shape, headliner taut, and carpet plush. Extra Mooneyes gauges add a racy vibe. This interior is a time-warp in the best way possible.
Now let's talk about what makes this El Camino really move. The rebuilt 454 V8 topped with an Edelbrock intake and carb is pure muscle. Mated to a stout TH400 3-speed auto and 12-bolt Posi rear with 3.31 gears, it's got power everywhere. But this Chevy doesn't just go fast in a straight line - the Global West suspension with tubular components, Viking coilovers, and beefy sway bars front and rear give it moves that'll surprise. Power steering and power front disc brakes keep things in check. Rev it up and listen to that rumble through the dual exhaust - music to any gearhead's ears.
