Vehicle Description
You don't see too many examples of muscle car awesomeness like this
one! Already mechanically decked out to the nines from the time it
rolled off the assembly line floor, this 1970 Chevelle SS454
combines some well-chosen upgrades that up the ante on its already
impressive performance with a factory-correct, time capsule-like
appearance and arriving with its build sheet intact as evidence of
just how special it is.
It doesn't take long at all for you to realize you're beholding
something special when you see this car. With its black cherry
exterior, broad white racing stripes that run down the length of
its cowl induction hood and trunk, and an impressive, wet-looking
clearcoat, it looks as if it's coming to you straight out of a
display ad from its time that's been magically brought to life, but
with a color so vivid it could be attainable only in the present.
The thoroughness of this restoration is really impressive and it
shows from all angles - ultra-clean front and rear bumpers,
pristine badging throughout and unblemished, clear glass. Even the
headlight bezels shine with conviction. From front to back, you can
see that everything has been aligned with precision and care - the
doors open and close with ease and all the panels show impressive,
uniform lines. Appropriately enough for a car already as special as
this one, its stance has been left alone and it's for the better.
This SS sprang to life equipped for asphalt action and it needs no
help underscoring that point.
You'll find that the bar remains raised as you look inside. The
black vinyl bench seats in front and back sit on a bed of matching
black carpet and look so fresh, as if they are awaiting their first
occupants. On either side, the black vinyl door panels are looking
their best and sit nice and flush. The headliner has been restored
to its optimum state while retaining its stock appearance. The
manual windows roll up and down without a hitch and all lights
throughout, as well as the blinkers, work as intended. New and
improved technology blends with the stock look that runs throughout
inside, and as you peer through the three spoke Chevy steering
wheel that bears the signature bowtie in its center, you'll see a
set of Cobalt gauges to monitor voltage, temperature and oil
pressure sitting just below a factory cluster that remains fully
functional in its own right.
This isn't just an SS that's sporting a larger engine, but a truly
rare and properly documented SS454 from the start. The rarest of
the rare, in fact. The date code correct 454 in this Chevelle
received attention in the displacement department and this already
formidably sized powerplant has been stroked out to a jaw dropping
496 cubic inches. A host of other upgrades have been added to
ratchet things up even more in the power department, including an
Edelbrock intake manifold, Williams 4-barrel carb, a set of
aftermarket headers and a generously-sized radiator to keep running
temperature down. For "hood up" impact, chrome valve covers,
braided fuel lines and fresh hoses throughout have also been added.
Despite all that monstrous power, the engine, which is mated to a
TH400 3-speed automatic transmission, fires right up and runs with
impressive smoothness. It's just one of the advantages that comes
with displacement - with all those cubic inches sitting under the
hood, there's really no need for an overly-aggressive cam to eek
out more power. With power steering, power brakes and air
conditioning, this is a pavement-scorcher with drivability in more
every day conditions. It sits appropriately attired in a set of
Chevy SS rims wrapped in Invader Radial G/T tires.
Looking for a classic of classics, a muscle car that's all about
extreme power wrapped in a show stopping exterior? This 1970
Chevelle SS454 is for you. Call today!
