Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is excited to present to you this stunning 1970
Chevrolet Chevelle. The '70 Chevelle is one of the hottest classic
American muscle cars on the road today and this particular car is a
testament as to why! Like many Chevelles, this car wears the
coveted "SS" badging that sets it apart from its lower tier
counterparts. It is tough to prove a Chevelle is a true SS, but
this car goes a long way toward that goal. It comes with a partial
build sheet that is missing the upper portion that contains the
last 6 digits of the VIN, but the remaining portion of it describes
the car in front of us and all of its options exactly. Importantly,
the build sheet denotes an F41 special performance suspension, SS
emblems, and the ZL3 SS 396 conversion! Not only does the build
sheet describe this car perfectly, it also matches the information
provided by the cowl tag. Additionally, all of the features that a
true SS car would possess are present on this car - like the round
gauges, SS-specific padded rear bumper, boxed rear control arms,
and heavy-duty front and rear sway bars just to name a few. Let's
dig a little deeper into this breathtakingly cool Chevelle...
This 1970 Chevelle comes to us dressed completely as it was
originally built, with Black Cherry paint, White hood and decklid
stripes, an Ivory vinyl top, and an Ivory interior - a simply
beautiful color combination! The paint is in high-driver quality
condition with a lustrous shine and only a few minimal
imperfections. The Black Cherry and Ivory look so good together
it's impossible not to just stare at it. Up front you'll find a
working cowl hood with "Cowl Induction" badging and hood pins, the
iconic dual side-by-side round T3 headlights in individual bright
bezels, a split horizontal black grille with "SS" badging at the
center, and a mirror-finish chrome bumper with integrated turn
signal lights. As you move around to the side of the car, the Ivory
top and all of the gleaming brightwork come into focus. The Ivory
vinyl top is in impeccable condition with no stains. Chrome accents
include wheel lip molding, window molding, drip rail molding, vinyl
top border molding, door handles, dual side mirrors, and "SS 396"
fender badging. The muscular stance of this Chevelle is perfectly
enhanced by GM 5-spoke SS wheels all wrapped in white-letter BF
Goodrich tires. The cool look continues around back with a padded
"SS" bumper with integrated taillights, a hidden gas fill behind
the license plate, White decklid stripes, "Chevelle by Chevrolet"
badging, and dual chrome exhaust tips. After reviewing this car on
a lift, it's our opinion that it retains its original rear quarters
and floorpans.
Pull the pins and pop the hood to reveal a very tidy and well
organized engine bay that you'll be proud to show off at any car
show or cruise-in. At the heart of it all is a 1970-only (suffix
code CTW) GM 396 (402ci) big block V-8 (NOM) topped off with a
stock looking intake manifold, chrome valve covers, a Quadrajet
4-barrel carburetor, and a big black cowl hood-specific air cleaner
with a "396 Turbo-Jet 350hp" decal. Other highlights include
working factory A/C (R12), power steering, and power front disc
brakes with a newer-looking booster and master cylinder. Exhaust
flows from cast manifolds through Flowmaster mufflers before
exiting the tips in the rear with a heavenly rumble. The big block
396 is mated up to a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission that
sends power to the rear wheels via a 12-bolt rear axle with
freeway-friendly 3.31:1 posi-traction gears and a chrome cover
plate. With this drivetrain, this Chevelle is ready to lay rubber,
cruise comfortably at 70mph on the freeway, and everything in
between.
Prepare to be impressed when you swing open the drivers door,
because the interior is every bit as nice as the exterior! Both the
dome and center console courtesy lights pop on immediately to
illuminate the Ivory interior. The door panels are in very good
condition with white vinyl accented by bright trim strips and an
"SS" badge. A bright Fisher Body sill plate and nice black hook &
loop carpet welcome you inside for a seat in one of the comfortable
Ivory vinyl front buckets. All seats, front and back, are
OEM-correct and in excellent condition. A center console sits
between the front seats and it features an armrest/storage box,
seatbelt holders, and a horseshoe shifter for the automatic
transmission. Ahead of the driver is a black 2-spoke "SS" steering
wheel with a working horn on a tilt column. The wheel frames a
cluster of round gauges that include amps, tachometer, 120mph
speedometer, temp, fuel, and a working clock. The odometer reads
66,937 miles but the title says mileage discrepancy. Also on the
main dash are controls for the lights, working wipers, and the
factory climate controls that offer cold A/C, hot heat, and a
working fan. Cruisin tunes come courtesy of an original-looking
push-button AM radio that's supplemented with an under-dash mounted
Audiovox FM tuner. The music plays through speakers in the dash and
you'll find an uncut package tray in the rear. Ahead of the
passenger is a glovebox with courtesy light that contains the
original owners manual in its original plastic bag. Overhead is a
tight black vinyl headliner. There is a stain on the front
passenger side carpet that can easily be covered by a floormat, but
aside from that the carpet looks great. Around back in the trunk
are a vinyl mat, a full spare with vinyl cover, a factory jack, a
car cover with storage bag, a set of black rubber Chevy floormats,
a very nice poster-board for displaying at car shows, an Autoworld
die-cast replica of the car (in the exact color scheme as this
car), and the aforementioned laminated build sheet. Also in the
trunk are four new pieces of wheel lip molding, though the molding
that's on the car is in good condition already.
If you're looking for a 1970 Chevelle or just an exceptionally cool
classic muscle car you're going to want to take a serious look at
this car! This Chevelle checks all the boxes with a year-correct
big block, factory A/C, power steering, power front disc brakes,
performance suspension, slick paint, gleaming brightwork, and a
color combo that's a real show-stopper! Don't let this opportunity
pass you by - give our friendly staff a call today before someone
else snatches this beauty up!
