1970 Chevy Camaro
Nothing conjures up images of the good old days more than riding in one of the many "pony" cars produced in the middle of the 20th century. The 1970 Chevy Camaro holds a place in the heart of all Americans along with other classics like the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger. While the '64 Stang started the class of muscle cars, the Camaro quickly became one of the most popular cars ever produced. While the vehicle is still in production, it's predecessors were markedly different than what consumers can buy brand new today. The second generation was manufactured to resemble foreign cars like the Jaguar and Aston Martin.
The 1970 Chevrolet Camaro marks the start of the second generation that would be produced until 1981. Many enthusiast believe that these cars were the ultimate muscle car ever to be produced. This is because of the cars beautiful body, easy drivability, and quality engineering. It is important to note that starting in '70 there would be no convertible body styles produced until a few decades later. Nonetheless it remains one of the most iconic American cars. They were manufactured with a low budget in mind as to make them more appealing and affordable to all demographics.
Also know as the "Super Hugger" they retained the superb refinement that made the previous generations handle great on the highway, and in city situations. The nickname results from engineering aimed at racing which allows the car to "grip and hold" the road in turns at high speeds. Both the chassis and suspension systems were refined as to provide even better ride comfort. Compared with similar models like the Mustang, even the most basic Camaro were built with luxury in mind and offered the best sound-proofing and other technological features of the day. These enhancements made everyday driving very pleasant.
A lot of the drive train features were similar to those of the previous model years. There were however a few more options available. Base models came with a 4.1 liter six cylinder capable of up to 155 horsepower. The model year also saw the addition of a 3.8 liter six cylinder with slightly less horsepower than the standard engine mentioned above. Two V8 engines were offered including a big block 6.5 liter capable of 396 horsepower, along with the 6.6 liter V8.
Trim package available were the base model, Rally Sport, Super Sport and a Z-28 Special Performance package. The standard transmission for all models was a 3 speed manual, with an optional Turbo Hydramatic 4 speed automatic transmission or the 4 speed manual to compliment the larger engines. The high performance LT-1 5.7 liter V8 engine was an optional engine which was rare and expensive. The LT-1 was manufactured independently from all the others and is comprised of only premium parts.
The 1970 Chevy Camaro's body style was also entirely revamped with a new fastback roofline. Rear side quarter windows were not designed into the car either, giving it a very distinct appearance compared with other "pony" cars from that era. The doors were made wider to allow for easier access. Base models came with an entirely different grille and bumper combination than the higher end models. Gas consumption was also kept in mind for the base and other budget models to accommodate the fuel crisis of the time.
Buyers looking for a great muscle car that is easy to find parts for seriously need to consider a Camaro from this time period.
