1970 El Camino LS6 4-speed

[StealthBird]

Not sure if this car has been discussed before, but I thought it was pretty cool. Someone had great taste back then, they ordered a 1970 El Camino, SS, with an LS6, 4-speed, 4.10 gears, and wrapped it all up in black with white stripes.

Says a partial build sheet was found. Anyone know if this was how the car was actually built?

You have to wonder why someone would order a El Camino rather then a Chevelle with that drivetrain. Cool none the less

----I would give my left,,,well,,,you know, to own this El Camino. It reminds me so much of the black L89 69 SS El Camino I had. The biggest baddest El Camino you could order for the given year. It was even ordered with M22 and 4:10s and sans radio. The original owner of mine (ordered at Slaton Chevrolet in Ft. Lauderdale) just wanted the fastest 69 El Camino that he could get. I think that initially he planned to use it as a shop truck, but that thought changed when he saw it for the 1st time. In any event, he only put 15,000 miles on it and never used the bed for anything (ever) before he sold it to me in 1975.....Bill S

I know in IA. that a few farm boys bought Elkys with high hp motors rather than Chevelles because they're registered as trucks. Big motor in a truck, no insurance problems. Big motor in a SS Chevelle, big insurance payment.

And they could deduct it as a farm expense. Win, win.

Those poor chickens never saw it coming.

That Camino would look sweet parked next to my Triple black LS6 Chevelle and it has a matching M22. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

What is production estimated on these? Less than 50 I would assume.

Wasn't there an black aluminum head LS6 El Camino on display at the MR Gasket headquarters for some years??
