1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Tribute Convertible Description

This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 convertible tribute does the legacy proud. With a factory-correct bold color combo, A/C interior, and a growling big block under the hood, then you know you're looking at the standout among standouts. Nothing but red and black is exactly how you want a muscle car to look, and so this has been prepared that way. This is a factory Cranberry Red car, and it has been given a professional respray later in... life. That means a nice clearcoat luster every time you take this convertible out for a cruise - exactly what you want in a sunshine-friendly droptop. With the black SS stripes painted on, it makes for a fantastic coordination with the blacked-out grille, blacked-out tail panel, sporty Mag-style SS wheels, and power convertible top. It even has aggressive details like the hood pins and cowl induction hood. So this one really does know how to command attention. But there's also quality in the details. The form-hugging bumpers have a mirror-like shine, the doors shut solid, and the panels all fit well. This is part of respecting a rare package. Chevrolet produced less than 9,000 Chevelle convertibles this year, and 1970 is arguably the most desirable of them all. With the flip of a switch, the black electric folding roof reveals a nice factory black interior - so this droptop has a nicely coordinated overall appearance with the top up or down. Everyone loves to see bucket seats and a center console in a muscle machine like this, and it comes complete with the iconic horseshoe shifter. This convertible feels nice inside with the carpets, door panels, and dash all retaining their deep, dark appearance. The dual-spoke steering wheel gives you a clear view to the SS-style gauge panel with large speedo and tach. Plus, this has the right subtle upgrades. The radio is a retro-style AM/FM unit with digital tuner an aux input for four iPod, so you can have the best in top-down tunes. Since you'll want to cruise as long as possible with the roof off, the Vintage Air air conditioning is blowing nice and cold. This is the kind of motor that will make you proud to lift the hood at car shows. The big block 454 cubic-inch V8 is exceptionally well presented. It's a tidy setup featuring bold orange block paint, shining valve covers, and matching air grabber. But more than just look nice this is a serious power package with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, MSD ignition, and a thunderous Flowmaster dual exhaust. The total power package is fed through a stout GM three-speed automatic transmission with shift kit to maximize performance. Plus, control stays well in hand thanks to power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and wide radial tires at all four corners. A bold and iconic droptop with huge power and A/C luxury. This is truly the kind of treat that doesn't come around very often. Don't miss out, call today!
