Vehicle Description
This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS underwent a nut and bolt
restoration earlier this year. And while that will already make get
your enthusiast heart soaring, what will really get your muscle car
blood pumping is all the evidence of a true LS6 car. So you're not
just going to love this for its amazing quality, but its pedigree,
too.
People may 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 black vinyl roof perfectly complements it all.
But this coupe is not a modern interpretation, it was born this
way! The reason why everything looks so fresh is because the full
frame-off restoration was only completed only this year, and there
is less than 275 miles on the car since then. It's a serious
investment in quality that 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 hood pins, all the SS badging, and the
14-inch SS Mag-style wheels. And yes, that's a true cowl induction
hood! As you look over the whole vehicle, you're going to notice
that this gets the details correct, right down to factory tags. But
what should get you really excited are two pieces of evidence. The
included photo file shows Z15 firewall markings (an SS454 car) and
a partial buildsheet with the 983-code 7,000 RPM tach. These two
pieces combined would only be for a LS6 Chevelle.
Inside is like hopping into a time machine to 1970. There's even a
factory AM/FM stereo with 8-track on display! The restoration was
all about making this fresh and correct. The factory correct black
coordinates with all the dark elements on the outside to deliver an
unbeatable color combo this coupe had from day one. There was a
nice investment making sure the seats, door panels, carpeting,
headliner, and dash all retain their deep dark appearance. The
driver gets a factory two-spoke steering wheel that gives a great
view of the U14 full round gauge pack. And remember, that special
tach goes especially nice with the Muncie shifter.
The LS6 is so coveted by collectors because this was the only year
Chevy offered it in the Chevelle before insurance regulation killed
off this monster motor. That's why it's important to have a
date-correct big block professionally built to these performance
standards under the hood. That means a 454 cubic-inch V8 with
four-bolt main, LS6 solid lifters, and a big Holley four-barrel
carburetor on top. Plus, this fresh build has all the right pieces,
like the bold orange block, chrome valve covers, and intake
diaphragm sealing to the cowl induction hood. And you control it
all with the strong Muncie M22 Rock Crusher four-speed manual
transmission. The power is unmistakable the moment you fire up the
V8 and the dual exhaust makes its presence known. But don't just
listen to the rumble, follow its path in the undercarriage photos.
There you can appreciate how thorough the restoration is, right
down to the red oxide paint underneath. Plus, you're also going to
spot strong SS features like the boxed trailing arms and thick sway
bars front & rear. Add in power steering and power brakes w/discs
up front, and it will be irresistible to add miles to the
low-mileage odometer.
We've already mentioned some of the terrific paperwork that comes
with the coupe, but it also has the owner's manual, title docs,
build receipts, and restoration photos so you can fully document
this special car that has been given top-quality investments. Call
