1970 El Camino LS6 4-speed

[SS427]

69 L78's and 70 LS6 Caminos were often used by the Air Force as chase vehicles for the U2 plane to retrieve the pogo sticks and to assist in landings. Unfortunately they were painted in Air Force colors with white stenciling so they were not very pretty.

I have an old magazine that has a black 70 el camino and 70 chevelle both with ls6 and m22 and 4:10. They were owned by the same guy and they did identical tests and races with them and the chevelle was quicker because of more weight in rear. Wonder if this might be the same car. The magazine was 1979-1981. I have it somewhere. The el casino ls6 cars are a rare breed!

Nice El Camino, but whats up with the console shifter handle and ball? The "MOF"

The first LS6 powered car I ever saw was an El Camino.
Hanging out at the local burger joint when a senior in our high school comes in to tell us to come look at his new truck he just picked up.
It was a beautiful black with white bucket seat interior LS6 El Camino. We were all drooling when he opened the hood and saw the 454/450 horsepower stickers on the aircleaner!

Wonder where that truck ever got to?

Reminds me when I was 14 and jumped over the fence into the neighbors yard at 4am and opened the hood of his 66 Acadian Sport Deluxe. I stood there for a long time looking at the 327-350HP. sticker that was on the air cleaner.

I remembeber Stefano having a black 70 LS6 El Camino for sale a few years ago. If you interested in this car it might be worth checking with him to see if it was the same car for more details. I just can not imagine many of them around.

----Joel,,,That El Camino in Mr.Gasket headquarters was the 69 I mentioned above. I sold it to Bill Lippay, Joes buyer. Never knew he had it on display though. The same black on black 69 was at MCACN a couple of years ago. I sold it to Joe for $5500. Did I do OK??? He was, of course, much more interested in 57 Chebbies and had many, many beautiful ones......Bill S

The last several documented ones that have been for sale that I've seen listed in the last couple years have all gone for 6 figures plus.

* Silver/Black one at BJ Scottsdale last year
* Silver one at Mecum
* White one at Red Hills Rods &amp; Choppers ....former drag car

There's a nice Forest Green one in my neck of the woods and now this Black one at Mecum.....before you know it we'll have them all identified [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

There was a yellow one featured in CHP (I think) a few years back, but I had heard it was destroyed in a fire later?

one of them was restored by ledgendary on the show dream car garage.
