The Chevrolet Chevelle is one of the most renowned nameplates in automotive history, and there aren't too many of those Chevelles that can match up to the legendary status of the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454. That's right, on the showroom floor now is this authentic 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS-5 454, complete with a freshly rebuilt numbers-matching powerplant and an aggressive stance to match. Propelled by the aforementioned numbers-matching LS-5 454 C.I. V8, this Chevelle was rated conservatively from the factory at 375hp, while dyno testing showed that it actually punches well north of 400. Pop the hood and you'll find a correct cowl induction system that's cleanly integrated into a finished, satin-black frame. At the center of that frame, a correctly decaled chrome air cleaner forces oxygen into a Holley 4-barrel carburetor for maximum performance. Behind that hot LS-5 lies a reliable TH400 3-speed automatic transmission, which puts torque to the pavement by shifting nice and smooth. The exterior "Fathom Blue" paint looks fantastic matched to the black rally stripes, and it's all been buffed to a brilliant shine over a body that's rock-solid and extremely straight. Opening the twin doors reveals a beautiful black vinyl interior with comfy "Tuck & Roll" patterned bucket seats, accompanied by a full center console and an attractive horseshoe shifter! This mythical Chevelle comes with plenty of options, including power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, MSD spark plugs, functional cowl induction, aftermarket headers, factory gauges & tachometer, a tilt steering column, a full center console, a horseshoe shifter, a vintage-style AM/FM digital radio, an original working clock, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on some chrome 14" Magnum 500 wheels over slick Cooper Cobra RWL tires for a look straight out of 1970! With a timeless appearance, a killer powertrain, and a beautiful interior, this 1970 Chevelle SS commands respect. It runs and drives even better than it looks, which is saying something because this particular Chevelle looks like a dream. If you're looking for the opportunity to own an example of one of the most legendary muscle cars ever produced, you can't do much better than this.
