Chevrolet Chevelle is a mid-sized automobile which was produced by
Chevrolet in three generations for the 1964 through 1977 model
years. Part of the General Motors (GM) A-Body platform, the
Chevelle was one of Chevrolet's most successful nameplates. Body
styles include coupes, sedans, convertibles and station wagons.
Super Sport versions were produced through the 1973 model year, and
Lagunas from 1973 through 1976. After a four-year absence, the El
Camino was reintroduced as part of the new Chevelle lineup in 1964.
The Chevelle also provided the platform for the Monte Carlo
introduced in 1970. The Malibu, the top of the line model through
1972, completely replaced the Chevelle nameplate for the
redesigned, downsized 1978 model year.""In 1970, sheetmetal
revisions gave the bodies a more squared-up stance following the
coke bottle styling, and interiors were also redesigned. The 1970
Chevelle shared many sheet metal body parts with the 1970 Buick
Skylark GSX, both are GM automobiles and have interchangeable sheet
metal. They are also the only two muscle cars to share the same
roofline. The 1970 Chevelle came in Sport Coupe, Sport Sedan,
convertible, four-door sedan, a couple of wagons, and coupe utility
(the El Camino) body styles. Only three of these (Malibu sport
coupe, Malibu convertible and El Camino pickup) were available with
a choice of one of 2 SS options; RPO Z25 with the SS 396 (402 cid)
engine and RPO Z15 with the new 454 cid engine. The base model was
now simply called Chevelle in lieu of the former base 300 Deluxe,
and was only available as a Sport Coupe or four-door sedan. In
Canada, the base series retained its 300 Deluxe name, with
appropriate badging on each front fender just behind the front
wheel well. The 300 Deluxe 2-door sedan was cancelled and replaced
by the base Chevelle Sport Coupe, a 2 door pillarless hardtop. The
hardtop, convertible, and sedan received the upgraded sheetmetal
but the station wagons and El Camino retained the previous year
sheetmetal panels (which went on for the next 2 model years).
Station wagons were the entry level Nomad, the Chevelle level
Greenbrier, the Malibu level Concours and an upscale Concours
Estate. New options included power door locks and a stalk-mounted
wiper control. Production was expanded to the GM Arlington Assembly
plant in Arlington, Texas (where the Chevelle was assembled with
its corporate siblings in this case the Oldsmobile Cutlass).Engine
choices ranged from the standard 155 horsepower (116
kW) six-cylinder and 200-horsepower 307-cubic-inch V8, to a pair of
350 V8s and a pair of 402 engines. RPO Z25 SS equipment option
included one of these 402 cid engines but was still marketed as a
396. The second 402 cid engine was available under RPO, rated at
330
hp with single exhaust, and was available in any V8 series except
an SS optioned Malibu or El Camino. 1970 also saw the introduction
of the 454 cid engine and was only available with the RPO Z15 SS
Equipment option. The base 454 cu in (7.4 L) engine was rated at
360
bhp (365
PS; 268
kW), which was also available with cowl induction; and the optional
LS6 version equipped with a single 4-barrel 800 CFM Holley
carburetor produced 450
bhp (456
PS; 336
kW) at 5600 rpm and 500
lb #8901;ft (678
N #8901;m) at 3600 rpm of torque. There were 4,475 LS6 Chevelles
produced."American Dream Machines
