Vehicle Description
The timeless appeal of a classic muscle car with a host of upgrades
to enhance its real world drivability, and all built on the
foundation of a genuine Super Sport Chevelle! This 1970 Chevrolet
Chevelle SS Restomod definitely has a lot to offer. It's just 700
miles past a very well-thought out restoration and offers a driving
experience every bit on a par with its stellar good looks.
The exterior remains in factory configuration and has been restored
to a state that's sure to cause admiring stares wherever it may
roam. Its gold paint shows a consistently smooth texture and a
strong shine, and the pair of broad black stripes that run across
both the hood and deck lid look razor sharp as they pass over the
subtle cowl scoop. All the finishing touches have been looked after
here - the color combo was skillfully applied and looks impressive
even at close range, there are new bumpers in both front and back,
as well as a collection of new trim, and every emblem and badge is
properly placed and looking its best - the painted SS emblems
behind the front wheels are especially eye-catching. All these
elements combine to create a Chevy classic that's in awesome form.
A simple exterior detailing will no doubt equip this Chevelle to be
a formidable presence on the car show circuit.
The interior is a showstopper as well. It's been restored to a
largely factory configuration, with some inspired upgrades blended
in, to create an outstanding vintage driving environment. Climb
inside and you'll be surrounded by new components wherever you look
- the buckets in front, the bench seat in back, the door panels and
the snug-fitting headliner above were all recently added. The dash
area is another strong feature, with an array of crisp aftermarket
gauges perfectly fitted into the instrument panel and a supple,
straight pad running across the top. The original AM/FM radio still
occupies its center position and the air conditioning blows strong
through the in dash vents to keep you and your passengers
comfortable.
This Chevelle offers an awesome driving experience by any measure
you could possibly use. Outstanding acceleration comes via the fuel
injected 5.7 liter LS1 engine standing by under its cowl hood in a
very nicely detailed engine bay. The V8 started off with 345
horsepower and, with a performance cam added to the mix and a pair
of long tube headers reducing back pressure as they lead out to a
Flowmaster dual exhaust, it only goes up from there. The
combination also produces just the deep, rumbling exhaust note
you'd want in a classic like this. The engine pairs with a 6 speed
T56 transmission that's geared to extract every bit of available
performance and is a great complement to the 3.90 posi rear end
that rounds out the drivetrain with asphalt scorching off the line
ability. Running through the gears is an absolute pleasure, not
only is it every bit as exhilarating as you can imagine, but the
clutch engagement is seamless and the T56 shifts very smoothly. The
car tracks straight as an arrow and, since Chevy had already
equipped its Chevelles with coil springs in back by the time this
'70 rolled out, its ride is smooth and quiet. Equipped with power
steering and upgraded power disc brakes at all four corners, the
navigation is easy and the stops come quickly and with little
effort. This impressively equipped classic rides on a set of 17"
Ridler wheels wearing Goodyear Assurance tires.
With its inspired blending of an outstanding vintage foundation
with welcome modern upgrades, this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS
Restomod is a unique find. Call today!
