Vehicle Description
Here at RK Motors Charlotte, we sell many world-class Chevelles. In
our current inventory, we have a few numbers-matching, investment
grade cars that are perfectly suited for trailering to shows and
parading the concours. However, as much as we lust over
museum-worthy metal that's been restored to better-than-factory
condition, we're also red-blooded gearheads who love selling
classics that are actually enjoyed. With its awesome color
combination, ground pounding big block and spirited performance,
this authentic LS6 coupe is the perfect way to collect your muscle
and drive it too. Looking for a timeless Detroit superstar that
mixes macho swagger with some of the best lines to ever prowl Main
Street? Here's your next American idol!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Professionally refinished in correct Cortez Silver 2-stage that's
decked in traditional Tuxedo Black war paint, this Chevy benefitted
from a ground-up restoration that was completed by the folks at
Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania's Tony's Muscle Cars. That detailed rebuild
married solid flanks to a few fresh panels, which created a storied
profile that features better-than-factory alignment. Doors were
adjusted with precision, vertical components were centered in their
respective openings, and pliable weather stripping was carefully
integrated. And in late 2012, this Chevy debuted as a road-ready
cruiser that carries every characteristic of a high quality, show
worthy muscle car.
For 1970, the facelifted Chevelle moved an impressive 634K units.
Not only did that high-profile success earn GM big money, it also
solidified the nameplate as part of Chevy's oft romanticized
'golden era'. At the front of this coupe, a "CHEVELLE" branded
grille hangs a bold "SS" emblem, stainless-trimmed headlights and a
polished bumper. Opposite that bumper, a correct Cowl Induction
Hood anchors correct lanyards at the base of factory-tint glass
that's seated in straight stainless frames. At the base of those
frames, polished mirrors reflect chrome door handles, which ride a
stainless-trimmed profile that's branded with correct, LS6-spec
fender badging. And at the back of the car, a second polished
bumper hangs a standard Super Sport inlay between clear brake
lights, a fresh "Chevelle by Chevrolet" trunk script and polished
Pypes exhaust tips.
ENGINE
In the realm of classic cars, there are experts who have built
entire careers on determining the originality of components, and
stamps dating those components. And when it comes to car's like LS6
Chevelles, that level of authenticity goes a long way. RK Motors
Charlotte takes authenticity very seriously, and we put a lot of
research in to the cars we sell. All that said, this Chevelle's
polished LS6 is one of those rare cases where, despite careful
inspection by numerous people, we simply aren't sure if it's
original or not. Here's what we do know: the engine is a correct
1970 block that wears a correct 3963512 casting number. It's also
stamped correctly, displaying an LS6/M22 "CRV" suffix code next to
a matching partial VIN. However, regarding the mill being original,
we decided to play it safe and stick to "correct".
At the top of the Chevy Orange block, a polished and decaled air
filter feeds a big Holley 4-barrel, which is sequenced to fresh
stainless fluid lines and a reliable mechanical pump. That air/fuel
mixture floods a lightweight Winters intake on the way to beefy
Chevrolet heads, which are topped with polished valve covers and a
stainless oil cap. At the back of those heads, a traditional points
distributor shoots spark through loomed Packard TV R Suppression
cables. Below those cables, coated long-tube headers funnel spent
gases in to throaty, true-dual pipes. At the front of those tubes,
factory pulleys spin a rebuilt alternator opposite leak-free power
steering. In front of those pulleys, a decaled radiator circulates
coolant around a correct fan via pliable GM hoses and old school
tower clamps. And the car's authentic, restoration-fresh appearance
is maintained through high quality detailing that includes a
Delco-topped battery and a familiar Delco Moraine brake
booster.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
One look under this sturdy cruiser reveals a solid chassis that's
every bit as road-ready as the stout 396. That big block powers a
tough Muncie 4-speed, which hangs an M22 assembly stamp opposite a
matching partial VIN. That transmission spins a familiar 12-bolt
axle, which is branded with a correct, LS6-spec assembly stamp.
That hot drivetrain rides a tagged F41 Sport Suspension, which
mixes factory power steering with power front disc and rear drum
brakes. Exhaust flows from the aforementioned headers to polished
pipes, which center an X-shaped crossover in front of polished
Pypes Race Pro mufflers. The body's rust-free floors feature clean
Satin Black pigment that was likely bestowed during their detailed
restoration. And at the corners of those floors, 14-inch Super
Sport Wheels spin F70-14 Firestone Wide Oval Super Sports around
stainless trim rings and SS center caps.
INTERIOR
Featuring a host of fresh interior components, this coupe's
all-business cockpit is splendidly crisp. Its retrofitted bench and
bucket seats are firm to the touch, showing no signs of significant
wear. In front of those seats, a straight Super Sport dash hangs
optional Deluxe Telemetry beside modern air conditioning, sly Retro
Radio audio and GM-branded Auto Meter accessory gauges. Below that
dash, a factory console floats a polished Muncie shifter on clean
carpet that's protected by color-keyed floor mats. At the sides of
that carpet, pick-free door panels center classy stainless trim and
requisite "SS" emblems on bright handles and pliable armrests. And
in front of the driver, a brushed Rally Wheel laps
stainless-trimmed foot pedals.
