    I am looking at a 1970 el camino ss and want to know if it is a clone.
    The car has a 350 motor with 3 speed stick on the column. Did this car come stock this way??

    What should I look for on the ***le or vin# that would indicate that this is original SS.

    Thanks,
    Joey

    I'm pretty sure the SS has to do with the length of you mullet in 70.

    3" mullet is standard
    5" Mullet gets you an SS
    6+" and it's a Conquistadore.

    My 59 ElCamino is a buzz cut.

    According to my SS books, the 70 Chevelle and El Camino SS models only came with big blocks. Regarding your subject, see comments above...
