I had a 1970 SS El Camino that was fully restored and hot rodded to the max. She was so fast and good looking. Absolutely my most favorite car ever. I would just about sell my soul for that car there lol. Hopefully you will give her the love she deserves and a good long life. She's an absolute beauty.

As an American, I was thrown off seeing a LHD El Camino on the short and paid no attention to it thinking it was from one of the American Channels. Great Find, and we're jealous of the things y'all got like the 70 series, Patrols, and the Barra. Can't wait to see more and keep up the good content.

[@sickpuppycody]

You can have all the barras and patrols just send more American classics!

[@SkidPig]

@@sickpuppycody I agree

[@snapped4433]

You guys are missing out on the best ford things. Like falcons, sohc, barra and so many more + many different brands and Australia only cars

Fill the carbs thru the vent tubes to the bowls….she will stay running alot longer than just pouring it down the carb

Came across your channel by chance, and a shout out from America, when you see someone appreciate these older American muscle cars like you have you have earned respect as a car guy to another car guy you have a amazing find these Elcaminos are Unicorns in this good of shape barn finds 👍👍👍

[@timothyballinger6280]

What a find! A true American classic! I've owned a lot of different years of elcamino's but never a 70. Looking forward to seeing more of this

[@thisoldcar2054]

Great video man, glad you got it figured out.

[@joekamleh6049]

I love watching barn-find, will-it-start, videos, and 99% of the guys who do them well are overseas, being an El Camino, when I clicked, I thought you were somewhere in the USA, and then I heard the accent, and I was like this fella’s an Aussie! Well done mate, for a guy working by himself, in a driveway on a foreign car, you totally smashed it. I just subscribed, we’re in this together now! Peace and love from SA!

[@sickpuppycody]

Legend mate thank you! From North Queensland

[@jamiemckechnie3662]

​@@sickpuppycody Love your videos. Derek with Vice Grip Garage could give you any advice on that El Camino. He's a Chevy guy. I had a 68 Charger with a 383.

[@sickpuppycody]

Fellas a legend aye. She’s very similar to what I’m used to just the hard part it’s getting parts at the right price here in aus. I got a 69 mustang I’m waiting on parts for as well. Man I love the 68 chargers

[@motov8-garage832]

I never was much for elcaminos as a kid in the 90s, there were several in my small town back then. Now being older.. man there awsome, wouldnt mind having one for sure, a car that could haul my dirtbike🤘! Also theres something i love about the 70/80s wheel and tire staggered setup like this, it's not popular and alot of people dont like it these days but that's exactly how I'm setting up my 79 transam. Either solid dish centerlines or with the circle hole cutouts like this. Frickin awsome 👌

[@brettjzx_666]

Awesome stuff man kepp smashing it.

Just came across this video. My very first vehicle was a 70 El Camino. My biggest automotive regret is letting it go. I'm halfway through the video and sooo excited for you! I'm in Texas and can't find one I can afford! I hope it's the ripper that it looks like and you have an absolute blast with it!

What a beauty of a car. Such a solid day's work!

[@georgeclontd4984]

I was just passing by.. saw the El Camino and was hooked..

[@dwitcraft]

Nice work. The dipstick on the driver side, below the breather is the engine oil. A chevy will work with anything that qualifys as a lubricant. We usually st as y on the high side, 10-40 or even straight 30w. The dipstick you checked on the passenger side at the back is for the transmission. The dipstick tube is also the filler tube. Check power steering pump on driver side too(belt driven). Chevys are tough, you probably don't need to pull that motor, it will come back fine! The balancer is interference fit, but fix the bolt before any serious shakeout;)

Another Aussie American car nut here and on my 2nd Elco. Keep us updated on your progress with it.(subscribed) Cool clip,especially being in Australia. Trivia for ya..1970 Elco's are probably the most sought after along with the 1959. And i understand the want for a Charger.. I'm working towards a 1970/71 Challenger..

Cody, Looks like either a 283 or 305 tricked out just fine! You have a classic ride here. Any way, you really lucked out finding this gem. Every guy has to have a muscle car or truck to "play" with!

[@russellherrmann6748]

307 cubic inch 200 horsepower V8 (base) 350 cubic inch 250 horsepower V8 (optional) 350 cubic inch 300 horsepower V8 (optional) 1970 El Camino Engine Options

[@georgealmeida7382]

283 and 305 are ten years apart and totally different from each other. 327 and 283 are closely related and both small journal high rpm engines..

[@RuffTymesBob]

A 283 doesn't have a crank bolt. Looks like a 350. It sounds way over carbureted.

[@ScottyFJC]

Cool find - even here in Canada. Engine casting number is on L/R of engine. TH350 - turbo hydramatic 350 - great transmission. Bullet proof combination (well almost) Keep up great videos!
