SUMMARY
Early, second generation, European-built 350ci Camaro with the desirable Rally Sport and Super Sport packages.
DESCRIPTION
- The 1970 model was introduced to the assembly plants in February 1970, halfway through the model-year, and became know unofficially as the "1970½." model
- This fabulous example was assembled in 1970 by General Motors Europe in Antwerp from CKD (crated knock-down) parts from the US and is therefore regarded as European-spec
- Originally specified as an RS/SS with the RS signifying Rally Sport equipment including a special grille and front end, bright mouldings etc. and the SS indicating an upgraded V8, chassis mods, power brakes and wider wheels and tyres
- Imported into the UK from the Netherlands in 1979. Only two owners since 1984 and with our vendor since 2016
- It underwent an extensive restoration and upgrade in the early 2000s, with all sheet metal done and repainted in the original Cranberry Red and fully Waxoyled
- It has its original 4-bolt, 350ci, small-block V8 with TrickFlow aluminium heads, Hoosier headers and a 750cfm, a double pumper Holley carburettor and Pertronix ignition with appropriate coil and leads
- All running through a TH350 auto gearbox to a Positraction rear axle suspended on composite springs with a rear anti roll bar. It also has nearly new dual, stainless steel exhaust and Goodrich tyres
- Supplied with a body kit of front and rear spoilers (not fitted) and a KPH speedo is fitted but an MPH one is supplied with the car as are other spare gauges
- This appears to be a well sorted and very rapid Camaro, a very approachable entry into the world of 1970s US 'pony cars'
