1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 For Sale - Extremely Rare, Real LS6 4
Speed Convertible LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1970
Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 Convertible Chevrolet first introduced the
intermediate-size Chevelle in 1964, and it became an immediate
sales success. The popular car was just what America wanted, as
Chevrolet sold over 440,000 of them in 1970. Ads told us that the
Chevelle's "performance starts as soon as you're seated." The
Chevelle in SS 454 guise was known as the corporate A-body at
General Motors. It was the bow-tie brand's muscle car variant, and
with the LS6 Turbo-Jet 454 V-8 option that is featured on this car,
they weren't kidding! The big block motor produced an advertised
450 brake horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 500 foot-pounds of torque at
3,600 rpm, which were the highest performance numbers of the muscle
car era. Keep in mind this was a factory option that anybody could
walk in and order from your friendly Chevrolet dealer for just an
extra $263.30 on the window sticker. Some 4,475 buyers made that
choice and were rewarded with higher insurance premiums to go along
with the high performance. The number of LS6-equipped Chevelle
convertibles known to exist today is often said to be less than 20,
which could be true, but no one knows how many were actually
produced, since Chevrolet has never shared detailed production
breakdowns. This original 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS6
Convertible was sold new at Sinclair Motors Ltd. This LS6 Chevelle
was factory ordered in Desert Sand Metallic exterior complemented
with Black Stripes and a Black vinyl interior. It is powered by a
numbers matching LS6 engine and a numbers matching M22 4 speed
transmission. The factory options listed on the bulletproof GM of
Canada documentation and on the Original Build Sheet make it quite
special indeed, some of which include: LS6 454/450hp engine, M22 4
speed transmission, G80 Posi rear axle, 3.31 Ratio Gears, Power
Disc Brakes, Power Steering, Power Top, Cowl Induction Hood, Am
Radio, Tinted Glass and of course the F41 suspension to keep this
factory built LS6 in line. This very rare Chevelle has been nut and
bolt, frame off restored to better than new. Its factory Desert
Sand Metallic paint has been wet sanded and polished to a show
quality finish. The undercarriage and engine bay have been detailed
to OEM specifications with correct chalk markings and tags. The
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 was one of the greatest muscle cars of
the period and this is one of only a handful that were factory
ordered as convertible. This is one of the rarest muscle cars ever
produced and is comparable to cars like the Hemi Cuda Convertible,
RAIV GTO Judge Convertible, and Shelby GT500 SCJ Convertible. This
one in particular is an investment grade collectible; it has
benefited from frame off restoration, as well being fully
documented with original build sheet and GM Canada documentation.
Due to its full and complete documentation, ultra rarity and
outstanding condition, this LS6 Chevelle Convertible would be a
prerequisite addition to any major muscle car collection.
