The Chevrolet El Camino coupe utility vehicle was classified as an SUV at the time. It was based on the chassis of a sedan but offered a sizeable bed behind the seats. The third generation El Camino was the second to last to be based on the Chevelle platform.<\/p>\n
The El Camino was GM’s answer to the Ford Ranchero. Apparently, GM’s Harley Earl had thought about introducing a coupe utility vehicle a full five years before Ford debuted the Ranchero but internal decision-making delayed the concept which was only green-lighted after GM noticed that the Ranchero had a market.<\/p>\n
The El Camino became, arguably, the most practical muscle car by 1970 as a response to the Ranchero which was, by now, based on the Ford Falcon. That’s why you could get an El Camino with the Super Sport package and an almighty engine under the hood. This particular example comes with the 7.0-liter 450 horsepower V-8 engine which wasn’t available on the El Camino at the time.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30016,"template":"","vehica_23442":[2480],"vehica_6659":[2498],"vehica_6660":[4119],"vehica_6655":[2605],"vehica_23443":[2495],"vehica_23545":[2508],"vehica_6670":[3934,3928],"vehica_23445":[2578],"vehica_23531":[2497],"class_list":["post-30021","vehica_car","type-vehica_car","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","vehica_23442-assetto-corsa","vehica_6659-chevrolet","vehica_6660-el-camino","vehica_6655-picape","vehica_23443-traseira-rwd","vehica_23545-manual","vehica_6670-chamas-no-escapamento","vehica_6670-limpadores-de-parabrisa","vehica_23445-maid-cafe","vehica_23531-street"],"acf":[],"vehica_14696":"1970","vehica_23444":"450","vehica_23446":"615","vehica_23447":"1702","vehica_23448":"3.78","vehica_23449":"5.3","vehica_23534":"1","vehica_23455":"15","vehica_23456":["https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chevrolet-El-Camino-SS-454_Astro_Blue.jpg","https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chevrolet-El-Camino-SS-454_Autumn_Gold_Metallic.jpg","https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chevrolet-El-Camino-SS-454_Black_Cherry_Metallic.jpg","https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chevrolet-El-Camino-SS-454_Classic_White.jpg","https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chevrolet-El-Camino-SS-454_Cortez_Silver_Metallic.jpg"],"vehica_28233":"","vehica_28602":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cars\/30021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cars"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/vehica_car"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"vehica_23442","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23442?post=30021"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_6659","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_6659?post=30021"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_6660","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_6660?post=30021"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_6655","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_6655?post=30021"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_23443","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23443?post=30021"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_23545","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23545?post=30021"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_6670","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_6670?post=30021"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_23445","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23445?post=30021"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_23531","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23531?post=30021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
