We are excited to offer this very nicely restored example of a
truly iconic muscle car. For many people, the '70 Chevelle is the
iteration of the Chevelle line which comes to mind when Chevrolet
Chevelle is mentioned. This car has a lot going for it being a
Fully Restored example, finished in Red with Black stripes, and it
even has an LS5 under the hood. This car is a hot item for muscle
car collectors. Thanks to a careful restoration, this Chevelle is
finished nearly the way it looked when it left the factory. All the
details are there, right down to the smallest details like drip
rail moldings, wheel arch trim, hood pins, and special badging.
Cranberry Red paint (Code 75) covers the 'coke-bottle' shaped body
lines, while a factory correct black vinyl top gives a little
contrast. Fit and finish of body panels is just what they should be
- evenly applied paint is glossy, body panel alignment is dialed
in, and chrome and brightwork is like new. Factory Correct 14x7
wheels are wrapped in white letter Goodyear Polyglas tires, which
are easy to get squawking thanks to all that torque from the V8
under the hood. Inside the car is just what you'd expect from a
properly restored '70 Chevelle. Sport steering wheel, round gear
knob within easy reach, an array of factory gauges including a
tach, and a commanding view of the functional cowl induction hood
scoop through the windshield. Interior surfaces show extremely well
throughout, including the carpeting, and the headliner. The
interior trim is not finished the way that the car left the
factory. The car left the factory with Ivory interior rather than
the black interior that the car now has. All the factory optioned
details are there; console mounted Muncie shifter, lap and shoulder
belts, AM Radio/Cassette player, chrome trim along the backs of the
bucket seats, and chrome trim along the door panels. Speaking of
the door panels, SS badging is also present, lest you forget what
the car is as the LS5 throws you back into your seat. The trunk
boasts a factory spare, trunk mat, and splatter paint. Chevrolet's
Chevelle earned its stripes in the musclecar world thanks to good
looks and powerful engine options. From the 396ci V8 to the LS5 and
LS6 options, the Chevelle SS was always a contender at any
stop-light drag-race. Right out of the box, the 454ci LS5 offered a
tire melting 360 horsepower and 500lb/ft of torque. Under the cowl
induction equipped hood of this Chevelle is the powerful LS5 V8
mated to a Muncie M22 4-Speed. The orange painted engine block and
heads, chrome valve covers, and factory air cleaner are focal
points when the hood is first opened. But, looking closer at other
details we see the power brake booster, factory air components, and
power steering components. 454 cubic inches of pure grunt pump out
a factory rated 360 horsepower. Once some semblance of traction was
achieved thanks to this Chevelle's optional posi-traction rear end,
the next concern was how to slow this awesome car down. This car
features factory power disc brakes in the front which helps in the
task of slowing forward momentum. The car is said to be numbers
matching, but during the restoration and engine rebuilding process,
the engine stamps were planed off the block. So we cannot prove
that the engine is in fact numbers matching. A Muncie M22 4-Speed
transmission handles gear selection. The underside of the car is
clean and gives
