1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS LS5
Offered for sale is an exceptional 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS LS5, one of Chevrolet's most iconic muscle machines, featuring its numbers-matching LS5 454 Turbo-Jet V8, Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, and Positraction rear axle. Finished in its correct Cranberry Red over a black interior, this El Camino has benefited from a comprehensive frame-off restoration completed in 2020, bringing this highly desirable Super Sport back to an outstanding standard while preserving the originality and authenticity that collectors value. Accompanied by its original Protect-O-Plate, this is a rare opportunity to own a documented, numbers-matching LS5-powered El Camino with its original drivetrain intact.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 454 cubic-inch LS5 Turbo-Jet V8, factory rated at 360 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. Equipped from the factory with a Rochester four-barrel carburetor, the legendary LS5 delivers the abundant torque and unmistakable exhaust note that made Chevrolet's 1970 Super Sport models famous. Power is transferred through the numbers-matching Turbo Hydra-Matic three-speed automatic transmission to the numbers-matching Positraction limited-slip rear axle, preserving the car's highly desirable factory drivetrain. A dual exhaust system featuring a crossover pipe and Badlanz electric cutouts enhances the LS5's unmistakable big-block soundtrack while providing the flexibility of quiet cruising or an aggressive exhaust note at the touch of a button.
As part of the frame-off restoration, the body was removed from the chassis before being professionally refinished in its striking Cranberry Red paint, showcasing the El Camino's crisp body lines and muscular styling. A raised cowl hood, chrome bumpers, dual sport mirrors, bright wheel-arch moldings, and a soft tonneau cover complete the exterior, giving this SS an unmistakable presence that looks just as impressive parked at a car show as it does cruising down the highway.
Inside, the refurbished black interior offers a clean, factory-inspired appearance with the comfort and simplicity that made these muscle cars so enjoyable to drive. Factory air conditioning keeps the cabin comfortable, while the original-style Delco AM radio preserves the car's authentic character. The instrument cluster features a 120-mph speedometer flanked by a factory tachometer and clock, and the five-digit odometer currently reads 56,000 miles.
Adding to this El Camino's collector appeal is its documented originality. The included Protect-O-Plate provides valuable factory documentation, while the trim tag confirms its origins as a 1970 Malibu Series El Camino, assembled in Kansas City, Missouri. Trim code 755 designates the factory black upholstery, and paint code 75 confirms the desirable Cranberry Red exterior finish, further validating this beautifully restored example.
Whether you're searching for an investment-quality Chevrolet muscle car, a weekend cruiser, or a standout addition to your collection, this 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS LS5 delivers on every level. Its numbers-matching LS5 454 V8, frame-off restoration, documented history, and unmistakable big-block performance make it an increasingly desirable classic that is sure to impress enthusiasts wherever it goes.
Don't miss the opportunity to own this beautifully restored 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS LS5. Combining its numbers-matching LS5 454 V8, documented originality, timeless styling, and outstanding craftsmanship, this El Camino is ready to be enjoyed for years to come.

Hello and welcome to LRA AUTO SALES. We purchased a Chevrolet Dealership almost three years ago and turned it into a Quality Pre-Owned Auto Superstore and Muscle & Classic Car Museum.
I named it LRA Enterprises Auto Museum and Auto Sales which encompasses my two son’s initials and mine. I wanted it to become a family oriented place where parents could take their sons & daughters to and show them what cars use to be like in their era and where they can purchase a car of their era. Where a husband and wife could bring their children to and link the gap of automotive history from present back to the past.
We pride ourselves in displaying some of automotive history’s greatest and most rarest cars ever built. Where names such as Corvette, Super Sport, BOSS 429, MOPAR and HEMI are common place. We are also strong in the racing heritage and names such as Lingenfelter and Ray Barton, Richard Petty and Bobby Allison are legends and at LRA we’ll make sure those legends will never die.
We offer a “one stop shop” kind of atmosphere and offer all aspects of sales, service, auto body and collision and towing. We encompass a full array of Cars and Trucks for sale from the 1950’s up to current day. We also have a Speed Shop on site, offering everything from wheels to accessories and even dyno runs for measuring horsepower.
We are located at 3114 Veterans Highway / Route 413 in Bristol PA and provide quality pre-owned cars and quality pre-owned trucks to all the surrounding areas of Bristol.
For customized driving directions, contact us today at: 215-781-3790.
Thanks for visiting our website and hope to see you soon to view over two million dollars of classic, muscle and pre-owned auto inventory
