35 years of power, performance, and style

1970 – New Generation

After just three years on the market, the Chevy Camaro was completely redesigned, adopting a European appearance with a very long hood and a very short deck. Inside, the ’70 Camaro sported driver-centric cockpit-style instrumentation, and a “stirrup” shifter with the optional automatic transmission. The RS received special styling cues like a split front chrome bumper, inboard parking lamps, and hidden wiper blades. The base engine was a 155-horsepower, 250-cid inline six-cylinder. A 200-horsepower, 307-cid V8 was available as an option. An automatic transmission was available on the Camaro Z28 for the first time in 1970.

* Actual displacement was 402 cubic inches.
