1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS6 For Sale - Fathom Blue, Numbers
Matching LS6 Engine, Frame-Off Resto LMC is very proud to offer for
sale this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS6 While the Chevelle was
originally designed to provide solid, basic transportation, the
secret was in the Chevrolet order form. With the right check marks
and a few extra dollars, it was possible to order a car that would
rule both street and strip. By 1970, GM had finally taken the
corporate limitations restricting the size of engine they would
allow to be stuffed into a mid-size body, and the result was a very
special motor for the Chevelle SS. The Chevelle offered high
performance with timeless good looks and remains a true collector
favorite today. The ultimate Chevrolet motor that would be equipped
was the 454 LS6 which was conservatively rated at 450 horsepower.
The 454 cubic inch Chevy big-block featured an 800cfm Holley
four-barrel carburetor on an aluminum manifold atop solid lifters,
forged aluminum high compression pistons, rectangle port cylinder
heads, four-bolt mains, forged steel crank and connecting rods, and
deep-groove accessory pulleys. A $147 throttle-operated cowl
induction hood ensured it never had to pant for air. Hi-test
gasoline was mandatory with an 11.25:1 compression ratio, but the
resulting performance in a 3,800 lb. car was pretty hi-test, too.
The LS6 option added more than $1,000 to the base $3,800 price, but
when the time came to step lively off the line it was worth every
penny. Beautifully restored and finished in the factory color of
Fathom Blue with white stripes and black interior. This special
1970 Chevelle SS was originally delivered to Gordon Butler
Chevrolet. Built to handle the power, this Chevelle is equipped
with a numbers-matching LS6 454/450hp engine, and to get that power
to the ground, a Muncie "Rock Crusher" M22 4-speed was chosen with
a 4.10 gear-equipped posi rear end. F41 suspension, power disc
brakes and a heavy-duty battery round out the short but sweet list
of options selected for this SS. The car has benefited from a
complete frame-off ground-up restoration, ensuring that the car
looks as well as it performs. The car is documented by a build
sheet, taken from the rear seat of the car during its restoration.
A fantastic example of what the muscle car consumer was shopping
for, a pure, no-nonsense brute with the largest engine available.
Definitely among the ultimate muscle cars to come from GM was the
1970 LS6 Chevelle. This beautiful Fathom Blue with white stripes
and black interior Chevelle features a numbers-matching LS6 with an
M22 4 speed transmission, well restored from the ground up and
documented with a build sheet. A unique opportunity to purchase a
true General Motors icon. Additional Details: 1970 CHEVROLET
