Vehicle Description
This SS 454 LS5 4-speed convertible has undergone a meticulous, factory-correct, frame-off rotisserie restoration to the highest degree, which is evident in every way - from its fit to its laser-straight and beautiful finish. It has show-quality panel fit, trim, chrome brightwork, glass and upholstery. The underside is mirror-ready and the engine compartment can handle a white glove test. The cowl Data Tag reveals that the body was built and assembled at the Baltimore plant the first week of May 1970. It was finished in Tuxedo Black (Code 19), with bucket seats and console in black (Code 756) and a black top (Code B). The most sought-after Chevelles are the 454 versions. This LS5 boasts 360hp from its big block, cylinder heads with huge valves, special-performance camshaft and high-compression pistons. All that power and torque is backed by a Muncie close-ratio M21 4-speed gearbox, 11" super-duty clutch and 12-bolt posi-traction rear axle with 4.10:1 gear ratio. Chevelle's functional cowl induction also enhances performance. No Build Sheet was found during restoration so it must be sold with no documentation. A multitude of safety and convenience options and accessories include power steering, power disc brakes, power top, F41 ride and handling chassis package, courtesy lamp group, Soft Ray shaded glass, twin outside mirrors, tilt wheel, AM/FM 8-track sound system, special instrumentation with needle gauges, tachometer and Rally clock. It rides on glamorous SS wheels with raised white-letter wide ovals and rarely ever seen factory air conditioning. Attention to detail places this highly sought-after LS5 convertible in a class of its own. This car is equipped with a non-OEM Trim Tag.
