Vehicle Description
This is a low-mileage survivor real-deal 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle
SS396. Yes, that's right! It might be a mouthful to say, but
Chevelle people know they are looking a Holy Grail car. It's got
its original big block, original four-speed, believed to be
original paint, and original survivor interior. Plus, it has the
correct documents to prove you're driving a real Super Sport
coupe.
Most people are going to think you did a restoration with a modern
color. After all, the Shadow Gray with black SS stripes is that
perfect dark-on-dark attitude that so many new muscle machines are
going for today. And the level of shine looks like you invested
nicely in this setup. So just imagine how low jaws will drop when
you tell people that this is not only the factory-correct colors,
but it's also believed to be the same paint applied at the Kansas
City factory nearly a half-century ago! How do you get such a
desirable car like '70 Chevelle SS to be a true survivor? First, it
helps that it has only averaged about 1,200 miles annually, so
there are hardly any marks on this coupe from being enjoyed on the
open road. And responsible care also means exceptional sheetmetal -
so you get to fully enjoy the fastback profile, form-fitting chrome
bumpers, and well-creased fenders. And of course, we love all the
sporty details like the power bulge in the cowl hood, all the SS
badging, and the 14-inch SS Mag-style wheels. No modifications,
alterations, or additions... yes, there is such thing as a '70
Chevelle SS survivor!
This coupe was optioned correctly, so when you open the door, you
get everything you want in a muscle car. That means a black
interior, bucket seats, center console, and a Hurst shifter. Plus,
the door panels, carpeting, headliner, and everything else feels
like there has been real care in keeping it original. It's this
perseverance that really makes the car even more of a standout
today. When you slip behind the dual-spoke SS wheel, you see that
the driver-oriented dash looks amazing. And it's great to see all
the factory elements in place like the hear/defrost controls and
the original AM radio that's still cranking out tunes. There are
plenty of Chevelles that have been updated to fit more modern times
(we even have great ones like that for sale, too) but if you
appreciate a car that can instantly transport you back to 1970,
then this is your time machine.
But what really makes this the star of any show is the
numbers-matching optional 396 big-block V8. Everything you want on
this motor is correct - the chrome valve covers, bright air topper
with callouts, decals, etc. Even the Rochester four-barrel carb is
believed to be original. The exhaust has been replaced recently,
which tells you the right maintenance has been performed. Another
sign of the right care comes when you experience how eagerly and
smoothly this big block fires up. And the growl of that newer dual
exhaust is invigorating (especially as you take control of it with
the Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission.) So while this
coupe's historic significance is epic and apparent, the massive
power combined with great driving features like power steering,
front disc brakes, and sway bars front & rear will mean you can't
resist adding a few miles to the odometer.
The only way a true Super Sport can be verified is through the
right paperwork, like the original window sticker or the buildsheet
- and we have them both! So few Chevelles have this kind of
documentation, and so to find it on a survivor that's in such
exceptional condition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't
miss this one, call today!
