This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport is an incredibly honest, untouched muscle car that has been kept in steady family ownership since 2007. Driven 62 miles over the last 19 years, this running classic is a true survivor. It features all the correct indicators of being a factory Super Sport (SS), driven by its numbers-matching 396 [402] cubic-inch big-block engine.
With an incredibly solid foundation, running mechanicals, and a legendary muscle car pedigree, this Chevelle represents the ultimate "rolling restoration" or high-character cruiser.
Drivetrain & Performance Upgrades
While retaining its numbers-matching core, the engine bay has been enhanced with classic, period-correct performance upgrades to help that big-block breathe:
* Engine: Numbers-matching 396 [402] ci V8 (Legendary CTX suffix code).
* Induction: Upgraded with a Hi-Rise Intakemanifold and a larger carburetor for improved throttle response.
* Ignition & Exhaust: Equipped with a Mallory Ignition system and high-flow Headers for that unmistakable classic muscle rumble.
*Transmission: Appears to utilize the rugged stock transmission.
* Rear End: Highly desirable, heavy-duty 12-Bolt rear end featuring a classic vintage Mr. Gasket cover.
Body & Cosmetics
This car wears its history with pride, offering total transparency for its next owner. There are no mystery fillers or cheap cover-ups here:
*Body Panels: Exceptionally straight, rust-free panels—providing an incredibly solid, high-value foundation.
*Paint: Average-quality finish showing typical wear, including minor surface rust, edge chips, and light cracking.
*Brightwork & Trim: All factory glass, chrome brightwork, SS badging, and lights/lenses are in Good to Fair condition.
*Wheels & Tires: Period-correct wheels and tires are in Good to Fair condition.
*Vinyl Top: The classic black vinyl top remains intact and is in Good to Fair condition.
A fascinating piece of this car’s history lies on the engine block's VIN stamp pad. The engine pad displays a #4 where the dash VIN plate displays a #5.
Given the vehicle's documented history, verified SS factory indicators, and the highly desirable CTX suffix code (confirming a 1970 L34 396/350HP engine), this minor discrepancy is almost certainly a classic assembly-line human error made by a hurried GM plant worker in 1970—or an extraordinary coincidence. Crucially, both VIN numbers correspond to factory-built 1970 Chevelle V8s, cementing its authenticity and giving this car a unique factory story that collectors love to talk about.
