Vehicle Description
This 1970 Chevelle is equipped with the most notorious big-block
engine ever installed in a Chevrolet. The 4-bolt main-bearing caps,
a solid-lifter camshaft, larger-diameter exhaust valves and a
Holley 4-barrel carburetor propelled the Chevelle from 0-60mph in
just over 5 seconds and through the quarter-mile in the 13-second
range. The matching-numbers 454ci LS6 V8 engine is mated to a
Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed automatic transmission and ends on the
road through a posi-traction rear axle with 4.10:1 gears. The
white-striped cowl-induction hood, with its signature chrome hood
tie-down pins, is where form meets function on the triple-Tuxedo
Black Chevelle. The Z15 option brought a black-painted grille with
center SS logo, wheel-opening moldings and a black SS rear bumper
insert. An F41 suspension package backs up the look of performance
with heavy-duty coil springs, front and rear anti-sway bars,
box-welded rear lower control arms, power front disc brakes and
power steering. Dual exhaust with special bright polished tips
makes for '70s-correct big-block sound, and the car rides on
5-spoke SS wheels with Firestone wide oval tires. The black
interior is centered by a pair of Strato bucket seats. In front of
the optional 3-spoke sport steering wheel is the round gauge pod
dashboard with black-faced tachometer, speedometer and clock.
Smaller gauges for fuel, amperage and water temperature are joined
by a push-button AM radio. The center console features a
horseshoe-style shifter for full-power launches from the TH400
automatic transmission. This LS6 Chevelle was sold new at Sale
Chevrolet in Ashland, OH, and displays 42,587 actual miles on its
odometer (the title reads mileage exempt). From the Raser
Collection.
