Description for Chevrolet Camaro 1970
Selling my 1970 Camaro Z-28 Rally Sport. I purchased the car from the original owner in 2014. He was going through a divorce at the time. He ordered the car from Butler Chevrolet in East Providence, Rhode Island and took ownership in Spring, 1970 and it was his daily driver for the first several years. He stated that the car was always stored in a garage and it definitely shows.The car looks like a 65,000 mile car that was always garaged and babied. There is no rust. The owner told me the car has the original drive train. Options/equipment include Factory AM/FM, Woodgrain steering wheel, deluxe interior, factory Rally Sport option, console, Turbo 400.
I had the Turbo 400 rebuilt to stock specs at a highly recommended transmission shop here in the area in 2016. Last year I had the original Holley rebuilt, the choke parts corrected, and the valves adjusted at a classic automotive repair shop.
I was fortunate enough to find this car 4 years ago and was so lucky as a car like this is so hard to find- both the rarity and the condition. Life's priorities change and I have decided to sell the car after a long thought process.Car is sold as is where is, like all classic cars (needed to mention this).
Let me know if you have questions, need more information, or would like to see the car or have it inspected-you will not be disappointed. I am a long-time private collector with a muscle cars.On Aug-29-18 at 20:06:40 PDT, seller added the following information:
Thank you for all of your questions. I have some answers here, based on examining the car and researching using Alan L. Colvin's "Chevrolet by the numbers 1970-1975".
NUMBERS:
Engine: Stamping V0617CTC Flint, assembled June 17th,CTC= Z28 Auto (original)
Casting 3970010 casting date F10 (June week 1 1970)
Carb: Holley, LIST 4490 1970 350/360hp AT (original) 3972120 052 (May week 2)
Distributor: 1112019 0E13 1970 Z28 assembled 1970 May 13th
All of the numbers line up sequentially, and tell me that the engine and related components are numbers matching original to the car (also see picture of original distributor and other AC Delco parts). I have yet to find the VIN number on the block. I don't think it was stamped.
I will try and check the transmission and rear end but I think they are also original.
Other documentation is the original owner's manual (see picture).
The car may have been painted one time, but not 100% sure. The paint looks great, even up close. There are a few chips, and a few other defects I consider minor. I would not repaint it. I also used a Pro Gauge body magnet, and I found NO filler on the car.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.
Sorry, no wood grain steering wheel. I was thinking of another car!
I checked the rear end and the transmission this evening and they are original to the car. The transmission has the partial matching VIN stamped on the case. The rear end has the correct dates and codes for the car.
More info on the paint. It does look very good, though I would call it a 5-footer. I am pretty picky, and I didn't get it painted but that is a personal preference. Someone else may think it should be.
