1970 Chevrolet Camaro — 350 V8, 700R4 Overdrive, Restored 2019 Why This Car Is Special The second-generation Chevrolet Camaro arrived for 1970 as a car that Chevrolet had been developing since shortly after the first-generation launched in 1967. The result was one of the most visually aggressive American cars of its era — lower, wider, and more European in its proportions than the outgoing model. The 1970 Camaro rode on a 108-inch wheelbase with a longer hood and shorter rear deck, and the front end featured a wide, low grille opening that has since become one of the most recognizable shapes in American automotive history. What made 1970 particularly significant is that the second-generation body style debuted mid-model-year, arriving in February 1970 as a 1970-and-a-half model. Chevrolet sold approximately 124,901 Camaros for the 1970 model year — a sharp drop from first-generation sales figures — but that relative scarcity compared to prior years has only helped values hold over time. The VIN on this car confirms it was built at the Norwood, Ohio assembly plant, one of two facilities that produced the second-generation Camaro, the other being Van Nuys, California. This particular 1970 Chevrolet Camaro was restored in 2019 and presents as a driver-quality pro-street build that keeps the classic look intact while upgrading the mechanical package for real-world usability. It wears yellow paint with black racing stripes, carries a cowl-induction hood, and puts a 350 cubic inch V8 backed by a 700R4 overdrive automatic on the road. This is a car you can load up and drive to a show, take out on a Saturday, or put in your collection and enjoy without worrying about it being over-restored. Features List - 350 cubic inch V8, rated at 350 horsepower - 700R4 four-speed automatic overdrive transmission - GM 12-bolt rear end - 4-wheel power disc brakes - Yellow-painted brake calipers - Power steering - Subframe connectors - Aluminum intake manifold - 4-barrel carburetor - Chrome valve covers - Dual exhaust - Cowl hood - Black racing stripes - PPG base coat / clear coat paint - Chrome front and rear bumpers - Custom 18-inch 5-spoke wheels - Bridgestone Potenza tires - Black leather bucket seats - Factory console and shifter - Factory tachometer - Grant GT steering wheel - Air conditioning - Aftermarket stereo - Restored in 2019 Mechanical Under the cowl hood sits a 350 cubic inch small block Chevrolet V8 producing 350 horsepower. The engine is dressed with chrome valve covers, an aluminum intake manifold, and a 4-barrel carburetor, all of which are visible from the engine bay. The aluminum intake is a meaningful upgrade over the factory cast iron unit — it reduces weight over the front axle and improves airflow, and it gives the engine bay a cleaner, more purposeful look that matches the character of the build. Behind the engine is a 700R4 four-speed automatic overdrive transmission. The 700R4 was not available on Camaros in 1970 — it was introduced by General Motors in 1982 — so this is a deliberate upgrade chosen to make the car more practical on modern roads. The 700R4's fourth gear is a true overdrive ratio of 0.70:1, which drops engine RPM significantly at highway speeds compared to the original Turbo-Hydramatic 350 or 400 that would have been factory equipment. The result is a car that cruises more comfortably at interstate speeds and is easier on fuel than a three-speed automatic would be. Power goes through a GM 12-bolt rear end, which is one of the strongest axle assemblies GM produced for passenger car use. The 12-bolt was factory equipment on performance Camaro variants and is favored by builders for its ability to handle elevated power levels without modification. The brake system has been upgraded to 4-wheel power disc brakes, a substantial improvement over the front-disc, rear-drum setup that was common on 1970 Camaros. The calipers are painted yellow to match the exterior, a detail that adds visual continuity t
