The Story

For 1970, Chevrolet restyled the Chevelle, creating a more muscular design overall and one highly regarded as one of the best muscle car designs of the era. With this came a host of engine options, including two 350 CI V-8s, the 396 with 350 HP, the 396 with 375 HP, the 454 with 360 HP, and the 454 with 450 HP. An ocean of options was also available ranging from power accessories to comfort amenities and a host of styling nuances including a bevy of color combinations. In all, Chevelle SS customers could create their own SS to their exact specifications, making it a hugely flexible and attractive performance car. On top of that, the Chevelle offered an excellent dual-purpose design; it was perfectly happy tearing up race tracks on Sunday and commuting to work Monday through Friday.

This 1970 Chevelle SS is beautifully finished in stunning Code 48 Forest Green paint with white stripes. The exterior color is complemented by a black vinyl bucket seat interior. That interior is a testament to the quality restoration with clear attention to detail, and it’s equipped with civilized options such as an AM/FM radio, center console, power disc brakes and power steering. Under the classic cowl induction hood lies a big-block 454 CI engine paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission.

With such a desirable color combination, a high-quality frame-off restoration, a big-block engine and striking good looks, it certainly is not an easy task to find another Chevelle like this one. The beautifully executed frame-off restoration, great options and ultra-desirable color combination all add up to a fantastic Chevelle for the astute collector or enthusiast.
