The Chevrolet Chevelle is a mid-sized automobile which was produced
by Chevrolet in three generations for the 1964 through 1977 model
years. Part of the General Motors (GM) A-Body platform, the
Chevelle was one of Chevrolet's most successful nameplates.
Documented as one of the greatest Chevelle's ever produced, the
1970 Chevelle was the highest powered Chevelle manufactured in the
models lifetime, which ran from 1964 through 1977, and was the only
GM car at the time to have ever topped the horsepower rating of the
Corvette with its LS6 Model.
In the hierarchy of the street, circa 1970, there were the Big Dogs
and then there was everyone else. Having 400 cubic inches under the
hood didnt cut it anymore at the Stoplight Grand Prix. The name of
the game was horsepower and the more grunt the better, and more
grunt meant more cubic inches and more horsepower. The old standard
"theres no replacement for displacement" was never truer in 1970,
and sitting atop the muscle car food chain was Chevrolets SS
Chevelle. Not just the garden variety, 360 horsepower SS454, but
the King Kong of the Bow Tie brigade, designated RPO Z15. Checking
off this option delivered a 450 horsepower, 454 cubic inch solid
lifter behemoth that cranked out 500 lb/ft. of torque and
bludgeoned any challengers for its title as King of the
Streets.
