Produced from 1968-1972, the third-generation Chevrolet El Camino featured multiple powertrain options and the iconic Ute body style. This 1970 example is equipped with the largest and most potent powertrain offering of its time, the LS6 454ci V8 engine, and benefits from a refurbishment effort in 2020. It is refinished in its original color of Fathom Blue over a blue vinyl interior and features a 12-bolt rear end, a Positraction differential, 14″ Rally II-style wheels, front disc brakes, and an AM radio. This El Camino is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Kentucky.
Refinished in its original shade of Fathom Blue in 2020, this Chevy features a contoured hood, quad headlights, “SS” badging, as well as chrome bumpers and trim. It rides on 14” reproduction wheels wrapped in Firestone Wide Oval tires. The seller notes that the right quarter panel was replaced under previous ownership, with the windshield, rear window, and side windows reportedly replaced during current ownership along with the tailgate, bed filler panel, and front-right inner fender.The seller also states that a ceramic coating was applied.Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin has been reupholstered in blue vinyl and features a bench seat and a new headliner. Equipment includes a chrome shifter, a heater, and an AM radio. Additional refurbishment efforts included the replacement of the two-spoke steering wheel, dashboard, door panels, and carpets.
Powered by a rebuilt 454ci LS6 V8 engine, the El Camino sends up to 450 HP and 500 lb.-ft. of torque to its rear wheels by way of a rebuilt Muncie M22 four-speed manual transmission with a 12-bolt rear end, a limited-slip differential, and 3.31:1 gears.The engine rebuild took place in 2020 and included the replacement of the aluminum intake manifold, Holley carburetor, and exhaust manifolds. Standard performance equipment includes front disc brakes. The seller reports that therefurbishment efforts included rebuilding the brake booster and control arms, along with replacing the shocks and brake lines.
This sale will include a build sheet, some documentation, and a clean title.

I want to thank everyone for their bids. 6 hours to go we are almost home someone might be taking this beautiful car home today good luck and keep bidding
Folks this is a real ls6 the build sheet was certified by Jerry mcniech the original owner ordered it with stripe delete and no cowl induction that’s why it has a dual snorkel air breather extremely rare
@Grandpashotrods - I stand corrected. You are right. I totally missed the LS6 heading. These are rare and you may be right. @Camel2300 is weeding out the tire kickers. Best of luck to the seller and hopefully the winning high bidder!
@TheGuesser this is far from a world record. Scottsdale last year one sold for 275k and several have sold over 200k. Looks like a smart bidder that doesn’t want to play the ridiculous bids game that many enjoy.
@pcarmarket - You might want to double-check with @Camel2300 on his near $200k bid. I'm assuming there's a typo in there somewhere. It's a nice El Camino but I think that bid would set a record.
Bid in the amount of $185,000
