This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 is powered by its
matching-numbers L78 396/375hp V8 engine paired with a Muncie
4-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear axle. Finished in
its original color code 14 Cortez Silver with a trim code 756 black
bucket-seat interior and a black vinyl top, this example retains
factory SS badging, dual hood stripes, brightwork trim and
period-correct wheels. The L78 engine was the highest-rated 396ci
option available in 1970, equipped with a solid-lifter camshaft,
high-flow cylinder heads, and an aluminum intake manifold topped
with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. Interior equipment includes a
center console with Hurst shifter and factory-style
instrumentation. Only 2,144 Chevelle Super Sports were produced in
1970 with the L78 396/375hp engine, making this a low-production,
high-performance example. ** PREVIEW
