Second-generation Camaros are finally getting the recognition they deserve, and survivor-grade cars like this 1970 Chevrolet Camaro RS help explain why. Listed here on eBay with just 52,581 miles, this split-bumper RS presents as an honest, well-kept example that hasn’t been over-restored or heavily modified, which is becoming increasingly rare in the Camaro world.

This Camaro is finished in its factory Shadow Grey exterior over a Sandelwood Custom Vinyl interior, a period-correct and surprisingly elegant color combination that suits the early second-gen body lines well. According to the listing, the car is believed to be a two-owner example and retains the kind of overall condition you’d expect from a low-mileage car that’s been cared for rather than constantly reworked. While the paint has been resprayed at some point, it’s described as driver quality, not a glossy show finish, and the body itself remains straight and solid with the RS split-bumper front end intact.

Power comes from a 350ci V8 paired with a TH350 automatic transmission. The engine is described as a correct 1970-dated 350 with the proper block coding for a two-barrel setup, and while a VIN stamp hasn’t been located, the seller believes it to be original to the car. Regardless, the drivetrain configuration matches what the car would have left the factory with, which matters to collectors who value authenticity over outright performance upgrades.

Inside, the Camaro really tells its story. The Sandelwood interior is described as original throughout, including the seats, dash, door panels, carpet, and headliner. Rather than looking worn out, it shows light, consistent wear that aligns with the stated mileage. That kind of interior condition is often one of the strongest indicators of a true survivor, especially when nothing feels replaced or artificially refreshed. All gauges, switches, and interior functions are said to work as they should.

Underneath, the structure is described as clean and solid, with floors and frame rails in good shape. There is mention of a small area of deterioration around a drain hole, but it’s noted as non-structural and not a major concern. On the road, the car reportedly starts easily, drives straight, shifts smoothly, and brakes confidently, behaving exactly like a low-mile Camaro should.

Survivor RS Camaros from 1970 are getting harder to find, especially in original colors with unmodified interiors. This one appears to strike a balance that many enthusiasts appreciate: usable, honest, and still largely true to how it left Norwood more than five decades ago.

Would you preserve this RS exactly as it sits, or gently freshen it while keeping its survivor character intact?
