The Story
The 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS6 stands at the very top of the muscle car hierarchy, representing the most ferocious factory performance package ever offered in Chevrolet’s legendary mid-size platform. With its brutally potent 454/450 HP LS6 V-8, aggressive styling, and limited-production status, the LS6 Chevelle has long been regarded as one of the most desirable American muscle cars of the era.
Finished in stunning Code 48 Forest Green over a saddle vinyl bucket seat interior, this example pairs one of the model’s most attractive and seldom-seen color combinations with outstanding documentation and a matching-numbers engine. Prior to its complete frame-off restoration, the car boasted remarkable originality and had traveled just 31,856 miles.
At its heart remains the numbers-matching LS6 454/450 HP engine, backed by its factory optioned M22 “Rock Crusher” 4-speed manual transmission—the ideal combination for one of Chevrolet’s most celebrated high-performance machines. Built at Chevrolet's Van Nuys Assembly plant, this Chevelle was well equipped, ordered with the ZL2 Cowl Induction hood, power steering, power front disc brakes, AM pushbutton radio, Positraction rear axle, and rides on correct 14-inch SS wheels wrapped in Firestone Wide Oval bias-ply tires for the proper period-correct look.
The car was delivered new on October 11, 1970, to its original owner, Mr. Larry Underwood at Frazer Chevrolet Company, Bellingham, Washington. It is supported by documentation including three original build sheets, the warranty book with original owner Protect-O-Plate, owner’s manual, copies of the original vehicle purchase order and window sticker, and the NCRS Shipping Data Report. This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS6 represents an outstanding opportunity for any serious collector seeking a dominant American performance icon.
