1970 Chevrolet Camaro Walkaround & Test Drive | Coyote Classics

Today we get to check out a great looking second gen Camaro, this is a 1970 Camaro. Painted in beautiful hugger orange, white stripes, four speed manual. Car really sits well, looks well, and sounds great. What do you think of your D? Cool car. I'll tell you what, it's sharp, I like the choice of wheels, we've got 18 inch coi in the front, 20 inch cois in the back, just a nice rake. I love the short spoilers on these things, and I always struggle to find out where the hood piece is, every car is different. Look at the engine bay, very very nice paint up here in the bottom of the hood, it's got the CVF, nice aftermarket hood hinges, those look nice, it's built nice, it runs awesome too. Could run a little small block. We got disc brakes on the front, drum on the rear, one other thing as we get to the interior on this thing too, I love that it has the original 1970 bucket seat interior, so many times they don't have the original 70's in there. Short headrests. Yep, there's a little headrest. They added the split bumper, we did the split bumper conversion, that looks nice, hood lines up nice across the front, front nose overall, really looks pretty good. It's super sharp, it's very straight, got a great shine on it. Small little, tiny little scratch right there. It's an older paint job, but it still shows very very well, so you got a few little flaws, a few little chips here and there, but this car's been driven. Yeah, top of the dash painted body color looks nice, hood lines up nice with the quarter fender and door, sorry, quarters, very fun. We got a little bit of dust, Chad and I just got back to town so we're catching up on video so this one was sat in the showroom for a few days. Good looking interior, we have just a little scratch right here, got a little scuff right there, got a little one right here too, although that might be buffing compound, or just a little scuff. Yeah, it's a little scuff I think. Quarter of the door fits nice. I'll get the door. Over the roof looks good, very typical, all of these second gens seem to have a little bow side to them, just a little crack there in the lead line, that stress line. Quarter of the door is absolutely rust free, make sure you go to our website, check out the 25 undercarriage photos, coyoteclassics.com, check that out as well. Door jamb paint's nice, like I said, I like that they did the cloth inserts, I usually don't, but on a non-AC car, that just keeps you way cooler. And they look great, they're all matching nice, the door panels are excellent, headliners super tight and nice as well. Yeah, people are going to say, these are like the correct seats with the headrests, but they did do a different seat cover. But obviously they're for a 1970 Camaro, they're just a replacement seat cover. Figured we'd defend ourselves there before people comment. Four speed manual, retro sound radio, looks like you can plug your phone in and play from your phone. Original back seat with the houndstooth, you can tell that's original, when you just look at the top of the back seat from the back package tray, you can just see that little bit of age on there. But looks great from inside the car. Headliner looks good. It's cocky dude, and that paint has a really nice shine and finish. It does. It's super nice. They did a nice job on the jams here too, jams are all done very nicely. Trunk floor is super solid. We've got a fire extinguisher in here, as you look down here, back tray, all that is awesome. It's got a new trunk mat, it's got the battery relocated in the trunk. That just cleaned the engine compartment, previous owner did that. I'm guessing some people like that look of having just a nice clean engine bay. Personally I like them under the hood, but dual exhaust comes out really nicely as well. That bumper looks good, but if you look real close here you can tell it's probably the original, it just has some little wear hitting in that. We've classified this car as just a really nice, beautiful, local car show quality driver. You can take it to any car show you want, be proud of it, but also just have a lot of fun in it. When you get these trailer queens, and there's nothing wrong with having those too, but when you do that you're going to get a couple of these little tiny chips, and that's what happened over the years with this one. Nice straight body, a couple of light scratches here, I think those will buff out. Just like the other side has, very typical of these second gens. Roof's nice and straight, corner of the door and rocker fits well. Door handle's nice, corner of the door is rust free, really nice, no body filler, nothing like that in there. Rubbers are nice, they look brand new. Door panels are excellent, from front to back, really, really nice. Roof rail rubber is new as well. Dash is good, so many of these are always curled up, this one looks nice. And so is the gauges, aren't they pretty decent too? Yeah, yeah they are, they are, they are. I like the choice of the Grant GT wheel, looks really good in there with that Hurst shifter and that RetroSound radio. Front fender looks good, got the front disc brakes, tiny little paint chip here. Now you open up these little vents down there, kind of gets a little more air flow through. With this, the heater fan works, so I'm just going to start there. Works on all the speeds too, that's nice. Wipers with new, brand new blades on them as well, like you said earlier, on the outside. Looks beautiful here, the nice orange in the dash is great. I don't know what this toggle does, Dalton, I think it's electric fan, but we'll just turn it on just in case. No, because it's got a regular fan on it. No, it's got electric fans. Oh does it? Okay, good. Alright, let's get this baby rolling down the road. I'm just trying to get a station, bro. I'll work on that. I think when they get into this seek mode here. I was quick thinking there. You're getting better at these damn things. Son of a bitch. They get into seek mode, but you get the gist, the radio works. You can also plug your phone in here. Yeah, that'd be better. Tem gauge works, oil pressure is great, 40 to 60 pounds. Gas gauge works. Factory gauge, we're between three quarters and full. Other than that, we had just the factory lights, that's why they put the aftermarket gauges in. Really quality car. Dome light does not work, but it's got a new lens and stuff on it. Very responsive. It's got a brand new throttle cable on it. This is the one that we had, had a little problem with that throttle cable sticking on us a little bit, so we put a new cable on it. So many times they just get old. We're out. This has got some big ass tires on the back too, but we'll see if we can get them rocking and rolling a little bit. Exhaust they got on it. It sounds nice. It sounds really good. Dalton speedometer works good. Brakes work perfect. You don't need power brakes on this. There's absolutely no reason for it. Those brake pedal is way up top. I hate these freaking, I hate these things. They get stuck to my sandal and it's hard to drive that way. The throttle is right there. It's got good response to it. It'd be a nice night to go golfing. I'm going golfing. I should try to talk my way into it. Sucks to be you. Yeah, this thing sounds pretty damn badass. Yeah, it does. Works, but it's, you know, it's slow. It's, yeah. Damn good car. You can feel that, that cool air coming in too. You know, these non-air cars, that does make it nice. Like I said, disc brakes and the brakes stop great. Syncros are good. They're second. There's your first synchro. Steering's nice and tight. Awesome Camaro.
