Vehicle Description


1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

If youre confused as to why people refer to Chevelles and Malibus
as the same car, its because Malibu was a trim level of the
Chevelle from 1964 to 1977. The Malibu wasnt a separate model
until 1978. No Chevelles originally had a woodgrain console. But if
you see one with a woodgrain console now, its likely from a Monte
Carlo. There was a version of the Chevelle only available in Canada
that had a slightly different grille and trim. It was called the
Beaumont.

For consignment, a really excellent adventure into a restoration
that was full off and full-on quality finished. A simple stunner of
an interior, a straight and true exterior with tasteful paint, and
a real runner under that hood in the form of a 454ci LS5 V8 beauty
with high scores during judging and a numbers matching correct
drivetrain.

Exterior
For 1970, the face lifted Chevelle moved an impressive 634K units.
Not only did that high-profile success earn GM big money, it also
solidified the nameplate as part of Chevys oft romanticized
golden era. At the front of this coupe, a split grille hangs a
prominent "SS" emblem between a small "CHEVELLE" script,
stainless-trimmed T3 headlights and an original re-chromed bumper.
Opposite that bumper, a cowl induction hood leads the eye to fresh
glass thats seated in original stainless frames. At the base of
those frames, chrome door handles, a chrome drivers mirror and
white-tinged "SS454" badges complement correct wheel trim. And at
the back of the car, a second original, chromed bumper hangs a
standard Super Sport inlay. All bathed in near perfect Classic
White and wide black stripes racing up the middle of the hood and
trunk lid. Topping off the bottom of this car are 14-inch Magnum
500 SS center badged wheels all wrapped in Firestone Wide Ovals on
all 4 corners.

Interior
Its correct combination of bench and bucket seats that are firm to
the touch, encased in black vinyl, original belts, and high backs.
In front of those seats, a straight Super Sport dash frames new
inserted OEM gauges clean and pristine provide all the telemetry
youll need for those hot laps. Below that dash, black carpet
floats an original, re-chromed shifter that would make an airline
pilot proud, and this is inside a correct console and color-keyed
floor mats with red, white and blue Heartbeat of America stitching.
At the sides of that carpet, door panels center classy stainless
trim and requisite "SS" emblems on bright handles and supple,
comfortable armrests. In front of the driver the steering wheel
laps a black column. And behind the passengers, the cars fully
restored trunk is finished with a correct jack and full-size spare
tire. Headliner is nice and tight and is also black, and where the
shoulder belts hang.

Drivetrain
A great looking original and numbers matching orange blocked 454ci
LS5 V8 graces a very clean and restored engine bay. Chromed valve
covers, orange heads, clean exhaust manifolds, and a chromed air
cleaner cover add to the mechanical jewelry, and it just goes on
and on with soft supple hoses and clean wiring. A single correct
Rochester Quadrajet 4bbl carb is atop, and a correct CS Hydramatic
tagged TH400 in on the back but is missing its partial VIN stamp. A
12-bolt 3.31 posi rear is on the way back.

Undercarriage
Clean and rust free nearly as close to showroom as you can get, we
have F41 independent coil springs up front, and a 4 link with coil
springs on the rear. Power disc brakes upfront, and power drums on
the rear, and dual exhaust with Turbo mufflers added can be seen.
The suspension looks like almost new, as does the floor pans, and
frame.
