1970 Chevrolet Camaro Base | 350ci V8 | 3-Speed Manual | Numbers Matching | Flame Orange Time Capsule
Offered here is a rare and refreshingly unmolested example of a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro, resplendent in its Flame Orange finish and equipped with the original 350ci V8 and Saginaw 3-speed manual transmission. Representing the early second-generation Camaro styling, this example exudes vintage originality and honesty, right down to its factory wheel covers and black vinyl interior.

With just 15,000 miles (consignor stated) and numerous factory components still in place, this Camaro captures a moment in GM history when style began to meet sophistication—and performance was just a flick of the wrist away.

🖌️ Exterior:
Bathed in Flame Orange, this Camaro still glows with 70s charm. While the consignor claimed it to be original paint, closer inspection reveals a prior respray, evidenced by sanding scratches and overspray on the door strikers. That said, the finish retains a rich shine and the body panels show good alignment and straight lines throughout.

Egg crate-style V-nose grille with integrated turn signals and single round headlights

Beautifully preserved chrome bumpers with guards front and rear

Camaro 350 badging and a stainless rocker molding add understated flair

No spoilers, no stripes—just pure, base-model Camaro styling

Dual round taillights and recessed license plate surround

14″ steel wheels with factory hubcaps, wrapped in 2022 Hankook radials

The car wears its base model roots proudly, offering a clean, uncluttered look that emphasizes form over frills.

🪑 Interior:
Step inside and be transported back to 1970. The interior is a testament to preservation, with factory-correct materials and a layout that remains intact and nearly untouched:

Black vinyl high-back bucket seats with integral headrests—clean and tight

Factory black carpeting, tight black headliner, and unwarped door panels

3-speed floor shifter rides cleanly on the carpeted hump

Factory AM radio, intact controls, and center A/C vents (non-functional rear defrost noted)

Clean, well-detailed gauge cluster, dash pad, and trim

Splatter-painted trunk with original spare—an authentic touch

Every inch of the interior supports the low-mileage claim and offers a turn-key, nostalgic driving environment.

🔧 Drivetrain:
Under the hood lies the original numbers-matching 350ci V8, still wearing its correct factory components and presentation:

350ci V8 rated at 165hp, fed by a 2-barrel carburetor

Numbers-matching Saginaw 3-speed manual transmission

GX-stamped 10-bolt rear axle with 3.08 gearing

Engine bay shows light patina but remains highly original and well-maintained

Mechanically honest and unmodified, this drivetrain provides the smooth torque and drivability that made the second-gen Camaro a hit.

⚙️ Undercarriage & Suspension:
Independent coil spring suspension (front) and leaf springs (rear)

Front disc brakes, rear drums

Factory single-exit exhaust, stock style replacement

Mix of original undercoating, minor surface rust, and visible Flame Orange overspray

Solid floors, rockers, and structural points throughout

This is a driver-quality underside with factory details intact and a solid foundation for enjoyment or preservation.
