1970 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE SS LS6 454/ 450HPThis 1970 Chevrolet
Chevelle SS LS6 454/450HP Coupe was produced on May 18, 1970, at
the Arlington, Texas Assembly Plant and sold new at Frontier
Chevrolet in Denver, Colorado. The RPO LS6 was the
top-of-the-food-chain engine option for the 1970 Chevelle model
year. Boasting 450 horsepower and a ground-pounding 500 ft-lbs of
torque, the big block Chevrolet engine featured an 11.25:1
compression ratio, topped by an aluminum intake manifold and a
Holley 4-barrel carburetormaking the LS6 the king of the streets in
1970 and one of the most powerful and sought-after muscle cars of
all time.This Chevelle was the recipient of a comprehensive
frame-off restoration. It is finished in show-quality base
coat/clear coat Forest Green Metallic with white D88 stripes and a
metallic dark green vinyl interior. It is powered by the legendary
LS6 454/450HP engine. Like many others, this Chevelle had its
original engine short block replaced under Chevrolet?s Counter
Exchange program and now has a 1971-dated 454 in its place.
However, it still retains many of its assembly-line-installed
components, including its original factory-installed cylinder heads
(casting #3964281, dated L 9 9), LS6-specific #3963569 Winters
aluminum intake manifold, original engine pulleys with correct part
numbers, original dated fan blade, and correct Holley list #4557
4-barrel carburetor.This Chevelle also retains its original M22
Rock Crusher 4-speed manual transmission with the correct VIN
derivative matching the car, along with the correct assembly code
(P0B13C), which decodes as follows: P = Muncie Plant 0 = 1970 B =
February 13 = 13th day of the month C = M22 transmission The
12-bolt rear differential is also a factory-installed unit, coded
CCF, designating a 3.31 ratio with Positraction. The assembly date
of the rear differential is 0501B2 (May 1st, second shift at the
Buffalo plant), with the correct casting number 3969278NF (197072
