Vehicle Description
1970 is widely considered the peak of the muscle car era. A big
reason why is the mighty 454 Chevelle. They are so highly prized
today that they have sold at auctions in the 7 figure range. So
it's reasonable to do a recreation that can be owned and enjoyed on
a more practical level. And while we're at it, some upgrades would
be nice too. This 1970 Chevelle has the vaunted big block. It has a
hefty automatic to back it up. The builders even saw fit to install
a rugged Ford 9-inch rear axle. This piece is widely accepted as
the hot setup third member regardless of the make of car. The
thorough build also includes a billet pulley arrangement and
serpentine belt to better handle high RPM operation. Superior
engineering is further evident with the tidy installation of
four-wheel disc brakes. The car is otherwise well-equipped with its
factory tach, center console, and air conditioning. The fetching
cranberry paint and chrome 5-spoke wheels make this 1970 454
Chevelle a complete street machine.
