Vehicle Description
For sale in our Chicago showroom is this powerful 1970 Chevrolet
Chevelle SS. By 1970 the Chevelle had made its mark on the American
people by being named the best selling mid-size car in America.
Though most were powered by a lesser V8, or even an inline 6, the
SS nameplate bumped this vehicle up to a much more potent V8. Some
people aren't satisfied with "fast enough" and want to take things
to another level entirely. That is what happened with this
Chevelle. The factory V8 was replaced with a 540 CID bib
block-based all aluminum World motor producing an estimated 900
streetable horsepower. As any true car enthusiast would know, you
cans just build the engine and expect nothing else to fail, so the
entire vehicle was gone through and brought up to spec. The
automatic transmission was replaced with a much more robust B&M
Race-oriented unit with a trans-brake. Although a 12-bolt from the
era would have handled the power, the builder chose to upgrade it
to a Ford 9" unit sporting 4.88:1 gear ratio. Although being fast
is certainly important to some people, looking good while doing it
matters to the rest. This car has been repainted in Metal Magenta
with gray racing stripes down the hood and trunk paying homage to
the original styling of the Chevelle SS. The interior has stock
vinyl seats with custom red piping. The interior has been upgraded
with a B&M ratchet shifter to select which gear you want to
drive in. A set of Autometer gauges have been installed under the
dash to keep tabs on the engine condition. A set of sticky
Mickey-Thompson street slicks wrapped around 15" Weld Racing rims
get the power to the pavement with style. The full 3" exhaust
shakes the ground as it rolls by. From a quick glance, you would
never guess all the power this Chevelle is hiding under the hood.
With no stone left unturned, this super-sleeper Chevelle is sure to
turn some heads, and break some hearts at the drag strip. Options
include: AM/FM Radio, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Vinyl Interior,
and Racing Wheels. For more information on this deceptive 1970
