1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS396

Thanks for your interest in the 1970 El Camino SS396.  We purchased the car in Winslow, Arizona.  The owner inherited it from his brother who had restored the car a few years ago.  According to the build sheet, it was originally delivered to McLean, Texas. 

The body of the El Camino is solid and rust free. It was repainted to its original Autumn Gold with black SS stripes.  It is 2-stage, good driver paint  with a nice shine and clean finish.  It has a few chips at the hood point and on the edge of the driver's door.  The chrome appears original and is in very good condition.  The underbody was detailed when it was restored.  It shows a little road rash but  still is very clean.  The passenger side rear floor pan has been replaced with a correct reproduction.  It's topped with its factory black vinyl top.  No rust bubbles are detected under the material.

The interior is correct and restored to original specifications.  It includes the correct SS dash, SS door panels, bench seat, SS steering wheel, tilt steering wheel and factory air conditioning.  It is very clean but does show some light wear and fading.  The dashpad is excellent with no cracks.  The driver's side of the seat has a very small split.  The carpet is very good but has faded a little.

The engine and compartment are clean and stock.  It is a correct CTW suffix code 396-350 horsepower with a functional cowl induction hood.  The VIN is clearly present on the front engine pad.  It has a few upgrades including a 700R4 automatic transmission, high performance Merlin heads, Flowmaster muffler and Edelbrock rear trailing arms.  It has a CCF code 3.31 12-bolt positraction rear differential and rear sway bar.  The car is very quick and in great running and driving condition.  It has factory power steering and power front disc brakes.

Unlike most Super Sports out there, this El Camino is documented as a true Super Sport by its rare, original build sheet! 

Overall, it's a great driver the way it is.  Given its original engine and build sheet, it is certainly worth continued restoration.  Big block, El Caminos are on the rise.

I am open to an offer prior to the end of the auction.  Please call to discuss the reserve or Buy It Now price.

Classic & Collectible Cars was established in 1982 in North Las Vegas by Larry Nicholl. Larry had recently retired after 22 years of military service in the US Air Force. Along with his four sons, he specialized in sale of classic Mustang parts, restoration and the sale of collector cars. This business grew and relocated to Las Vegas and became the most recognized and respected Mustang shop in Southern Nevada. In 1986, Larry sold the Mustang parts and restoration end of the business and began to focus primarily in the sales and appraising of all types of classic and special interest automobiles. He built a facility on Arville Street near Tropicana, to house the newly directed Classic & Collectible Cars. He continued to operate in this facility for several years until its sale of the building in the mid 1990s. By this time, his sons had left the business to pursue other interests and the shop had shrunk to a manageable, one man operation. In 1997, Michael Nicholl proposed to take over the business and resurrect the Classic & Collectible Cars name. The focus would be same – to buy, sell and appraise classic and special interest automobiles. At the time, the internet was an emerging marketplace. Michael saw the opportunity to begin to market and sell collector cars in a new way. With an established reputation, Classic & Collectible Cars grew quickly, and at its height occupied a 15,000 square foot facility housing a 65 car inventory. In 2002, Larry purchased its current location on Sheridan Street. Today, Classic & Collectible Cars maintains a 30 car inventory and has enjoyed good sales even through today’s challenging times. The Classic & Collectible Cars business philosophy has proved to be a solid one. That is offer quality collector cars at affordable, market competitive prices. Successful sales have been found in the $10,000 to $30,000 price bracket. The focus is to sell nice driver quality cars and not necessarily show cars. More importantly, our sales goal is to offer friendly and professional service. This comes from our experienced staff and extensive knowledge about collector cars. We strive to accurately represent our cars. We go to great lengths to be sure they meet buyer expectations. This has earned us an excellent reputation worldwide with numerous repeat customers. Our success has also been fueled by Las Vegas’ international fame. Today, upwards of 60% of our sales are to foreign buyers. Ninety percent of our sales are internet generated. We have a strong internet presence with our website www.classiccarlasvegas.com and through extensive advertising on leading collector car websites.
