1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Description

This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS is an awful lot of car for the money. It packs a strong-running 383 stroker motor, gorgeous paint, and a beautifully finished interior full of upgrades. There's always a lot of talk about matching numbers when discussing these cars, but that completely overlooks the fact that these cars are a ton of fun to drive, look awesome, and nice ones with great options are still out there ready to knock peoples' socks off at shows. Originally code 50 Gobi Beige, they went in a different direction when it came time for a repaint, giving it a slick coat of sinister Shadow Gray with black SS stripes, which are always welcome on an A-body with muscle. Bodywork is excellent throughout, with great gaps and a smooth finish thanks to hours and hours of block sanding before a drop of paint was sprayed. Look how nicely those quarters fit, the smooth, unbroken line that runs from nose to tail, and the gaps on the doors; this car was put together very carefully. 1970 is arguably the most popular year for Chevelles, both now and when they were new, and the look never goes out of style. Four headlights up front frame a correct black SS grille, while out back, a blacked-out rub strip with correct SS emblems highlights the bumper. Hood pins, a functional cowl induction hood, and a nicely fitted black vinyl top all give it a correct look that is just beautifully executed. I don't care what you're driving, you're going to think twice when a Chevelle like this rolls up next to you.Inside, this one has had a full makeover, although they stuck to the factory recipe and kept the bench seat. The factory gauges are in excellent shape and include a tach with a 6500 RPM redline, suggesting that something awesome lives under the hood. The back seat also sports new seat covers, and fresh black carpet was installed throughout the passenger compartment. The dash pad and door panels are in excellent shape, and the restorer went the extra mile to get everything right by including fresh black seat belts as well. This car was originally equipped with A/C, and today it is fully functional with new controls and R134a refrigerant working behind the scenes. A digital AM/FM stereo sounds great thanks to 6x9 speakers on the rear deck and yes, it's got a tilt steering column, and this car even has a set of rather rare power windows. It also offers a nicely outfitted trunk that includes a full-sized spare tire with jack assembly. The engine is a 383 inch stroker motor that makes one heck of a statement there in the engine bay. It's obvious where the big money was spent, and it's very nicely detailed with satin black inner fenders and OEM-grade hardware throughout. Yes, it's wearing 454 decals on a small block, but that's part of the illusion, because this small block puts out big block power but weighs 150 pounds less, so it's a real hammer on the street. The A/C system has been fully serviced and the stout small block has a burly idle that only comes from a healthy cam inside. That potent V8 is ably supported by a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission turning a durable 12-bolt rear full of 3.55 gears on a Posi limited slip. There's a new exhaust system with mellow mufflers so it has a nice rumble that doesn't get annoying. It rides on a set of proper SS wheels with fat 225/70/14 BFGoodrich T/A radials at all four corners.If you've been watching the market thinking that 1970 Chevelles were suddenly being priced out of reach, guess again. With good bones, a nice restoration, and awesome upgrades, this Chevelle simply couldn't be duplicated for the asking price. Call today!
