Chevrolet El Camino SS 454
The Chevrolet El Camino was a half-car/half-truck hybrid for carrying light loads and a helpful tool for small business owners. And most of them lived their lives exactly like that. But in 1970, Chevrolet introduced the wildest El Camino of all in the form of the El Camino SS 454 (via Hemmings).
The mighty 454 V8 LS6 was a 7.4-liter Chevrolet’s big block engine with an official 450 hp rating. The engine delivered around 500 hp in real life and was a fire-breathing beast. It was one of the best engines of the muscle car era. In the El Camino SS, this engine provided performance that was close to the best regular muscle cars of the day.
