Vehicle Description
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Coupe
The storied Chevelle is one of those timeless designs that looks
good no matter how it's built. Stock, modified, race, pro-touring,
whatever; the clean lines and balanced stance on these tough
classics create a confident swagger that's universally admired.
That means, if you're looking to ride in style, you really can't go
wrong with a Chevrolet A-Body. And when you factor in this ride's
big block drivetrain, tastefully restored interior and first rate,
all-American sheetmetal, you get the picturesque profile of an
incredible muscle car!
For consignment the Chevrolet Chevelle SS Coupe. This car has been
the beneficiary of an engine rebuild in 2018 and is now painted red
sporting wide black racing stripes, shiny chrome, new gauges, and
in overall very nice condition.
Exterior
For 1970, the face lifted 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 split grille hangs a
prominent "SS" emblem between a small "CHEVELLE" script,
stainless-trimmed T3 headlights and an original re-chromed bumper.
Opposite that bumper, a domed Super Sport hood leads the eye to
fresh glass that's seated in original stainless frames. At the base
of those frames, chrome door handles, a chrome driver's mirror and
white-tinged "SS396" badges complement correct wheel trim. And at
the back of the car, a second original, re-chromed bumper hangs a
standard Super Sport inlay. All bathed in red respray and wide
black stripes racing up the middle of the hood and trunk lid.
Topping off the bottom of this car are 14-inch Magnum 500 SS center
badged wheels all wrapped in Firestone Wide Ovals on all 4
corners.
Interior
Its correct combination of bench and bucket seats that are firm to
the touch, encased in black vinyl, original belts, and high backs.
In front of those seats, a straight Super Sport dash frames new
inserted OEM gauges clean and pristine provide all the telemetry
you'll need for those hot laps. Below that dash, black carpet
floats an original, re-chromed shifter that would make an airline
pilot proud, and this is inside a correct console and color-keyed
floor mats with red stitched Chevelle script badges. At the sides
of that carpet, door panels center classy stainless trim and
requisite "SS" emblems on bright handles and supple, comfortable
armrests. In front of the driver the steering wheel laps a black
column. And behind the passengers, the car's fully restored trunk
is finished with a correct jack and full-size spare tire. Headliner
is nice and tight and is also black, and where the shoulder belts
hang.
Drivetrain
Gaze into the Satin Black engine bay and you'll find a ca.
1990-1991 454ci Mark IV short deck, all bedecked in orange paint.
That block balances a polished and decaled open-air cleaner on a 4
bbl Holley carburetor. This professionally restored carb rides on a
Winters intake, which feeds Chevrolet heads that are topped by
re-chromed valve covers. Consigner states a small cam was snuck in
during the restoration/rebuild. A newer TH400 3-speed automatic
transmission is strapped to the rear of the mill, and it pushes
power rearward to a ca. 1971 12 bolt 2.73 posi rear axle.
Undercarriage
Well cared for would be the buzzword for the undercarriage, with
clean suspension, surface rust free floorpans with plenty of
undercoating, and straight rust-free rockers. Independent coil
springs and 4 link with coil springs are on for the suspension, and
power disc brakes for the front, and power drums for the rear.
Drive-Ability
Our muscle car aficionado snapped up this test drive, and when he
returned, he just had a smile on his face and 2 thumbs up, so it
must have been good! He reported nice acceleration, smooth
shifting, good cornering and all the positive essentials were
working swimmingly. Overall, it was very happy motoring.
A very nice example, ready to go and show with a simple turn of a
key. No wrenching, no bodywork, no fuss no muss, just pure SS
excitement and enjoyment all while looking just fab!
