The 1970 Chevrolet Camaro RS is an outstanding example of a first-generation Camaro that combines classic styling with thoroughly modern performance and drivability. Originally built in California and owned by the same enthusiast for the past 36 years, this Camaro has been carefully preserved and substantially upgraded over a long period of ownership. A stunning restoration was completed in 2020, and the car has traveled just 1,962 miles since its build. Finished in its factory Mulsanne Blue Metallic, this Camaro retains the unmistakable character of the original while incorporating a thoughtfully selected collection of RestoMod upgrades.
Under the hood is a rebuilt 350ci V8 fitted with an impressive Inglese 8 Stack intake manifold, giving the engine bay a distinctive period-inspired appearance while providing serious performance. The engine is paired with a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, offering a substantial improvement in gearing and highway drivability over the original-era transmissions. Ceramic-coated headers feed into Doug's electric exhaust cutouts, allowing the driver to alter the exhaust character at the push of a button. The combination delivers an engaging driving experience that complements the Camaro's aggressive appearance.
The chassis and suspension have been comprehensively upgraded to handle the additional performance. A Ford 9-inch rear end and mini-tub conversion provide a strong foundation, while 2-inch front drop spindles and coilover suspension give the Camaro a more purposeful stance and improved handling. Power steering makes low-speed maneuvering considerably easier, while power four-wheel disc brakes provide modern stopping capability. Together, these upgrades transform the Camaro into a car that is not only visually striking but also significantly more capable than its original configuration.
Inside, the cabin features a beautifully finished black bucket-seat leather interior that retains the familiar layout and atmosphere of a classic Camaro while presenting a more refined appearance. Vintage air conditioning adds welcome comfort during warm-weather cruising, making this RestoMod far more usable for longer drives and summer outings. Billet aluminum wheels complete the exterior presentation, providing a clean, muscular look that works exceptionally well with the Mulsanne Blue finish and lowered stance.
One of the most compelling aspects of this Camaro is its history with the current ownership. Having remained with the same owner for 36 years, the car has clearly been more than a short-term project or passing acquisition. The extensive collection of receipts and records documents its history and restoration, providing valuable insight into the work that has gone into the vehicle. The 2020 restoration and subsequent limited use have left the Camaro with less than 2,000 miles since the build, making it an especially appealing opportunity for an enthusiast seeking a finished, sorted, and highly upgraded first-generation Camaro.
This 1970 Chevrolet Camaro RS successfully bridges the gap between classic muscle car character and modern performance. Its factory Mulsanne Blue Metallic color, long-term ownership history, rebuilt 350ci V8, Inglese 8 Stack, Tremec 6-speed, Ford 9-inch rear end, coilover suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, Vintage AC, and electric exhaust cutouts create a compelling combination of style, performance, and usability. With a stunning restoration completed in 2020, extensive documentation, and fewer than 2k miles since the build, this Camaro is ready to be enjoyed by its next caretaker on everything from local cruises to spirited weekend drives.
