Vehicle Description
This car runs strong, looks good, and drives great. Smooth, classic
lines run the length of the car, catch the light, and draw your
eye. Romping on the gas will put a big grin on your face, and a
smile on the face of anyone watching.
Considered by many to be the best-looking muscle car of all time,
the 1970 Chevelle has smooth, graceful curves that flow down the
length of the car. The look will never go out of style. This car is
presented in a classic combination of Red paint, black SS stripes
and chrome. Up front there is a black SS grill flanked by four
headlights and is underlined by a sharp looking chrome bumper. The
cowl induction hood is held down by hood pins so the engine doesn't
try to jump out, and makes for an intimidating view from the front
or the side. There are bold SS stripes, which are always a good
look on a muscle car, and it has a wicked stance that says it means
business. There are SS 396 badges on the fenders and the chrome
back bumper has a blacked out rub strip with SS emblems on it and
there are big black wheels tucked up under the fenders to complete
the picture.
Open the door and you will find a nicely redone interior that is
both good looking and comfortable. The Black door panel sets the
tone with a smooth upper panel and pleated center with chrome
piping along both the top and bottom and an SS emblem toward the
front. The bucket seats look trick all in black with two stripes
running up them that mimic the SS stripes on the body. A deep dish
three spoke steering wheel sits in front of a super clean stock SS
dashboard that looks brand new with the speedo in the center and
the tach off to the left with engine gauges surrounding them. A
head unit for the AM/FM/CD player sits where the original radio was
and ventilation controls include an updated R134 air conditioning
system. A white shift ball for the 4-speed manual transmission
rises out of the center console just begging to be stirred around
while crisp and clean carpets and headliner tie it all
together.
Pull the pins and pop the hood and you will find a very healthy 402
cubic inch motor nestled down in a neat and clean engine
compartment. The cowl induction hood is functional and gathers up
plenty of fresh cool air to feed the beast. A black air cleaner
assembly directs the air to a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and
Edelbrock intake manifold. Chrome valve covers add a splash of
flash to the engine and red spark plug wires fired by an MSD
ignition look good too. Belts and hoses are all new and a 6-blade
fan helps keep things running cool. A 4-speed gearbox sends the
power back to a 12-bolt rear end with an aluminum cover. The rear
trailing arms are correct for an SS car and are boxed for extra
strength to go with beefy sway bars front and rear help this car
handle very well. Big vented disc brakes will haul this car to a
stop in a hurry and the rubber meets the road through 275/35R20s in
the back and 235/45R19s in the front mounted on those trick-looking
black wheels.
Good looking with plenty of power along with suspension and brake
upgrades that make this a driver's car. Come on down and check it
out. You might decide to make it yours and drive it on home.
