1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Tribute Description
If you love a muscle machine with both show and go, then this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Tribute should get you instantly excited. Because it's not just a sleek-looking black muscle classic, but also it has seriously enhanced V8 power, upgraded suspension, and five-speed stick to really enjoy it all.
The appeal of this coupe is as clear as black and white - literally. The glossy black loves to highlight the gentile curves in the profile that make this such an iconic classic. Plus, the painted white stripes create a timeless contrast that give this one plenty of distinction. We also love this machine because of the quality you see in the straight panels and a solid investment in the brightwork. Of course as a proper Super Sport tribute, they got the aggressive details right, like the full SS badging and the cowl induction hood. Plus, they added 20-inch Torq Thrust II wheels on a lowered suspension to deliver a look that tells everyone this one is a bit more modern and aggressive.
The smooth action of the doors is another reminder of the careful restoration, and when you look inside, this low-mileage build shows off a fresh-style interior. You get the right classic elements you love, like the high-back bucket seats and center console. Plus, this has terrific upgrades for the driver, like the three-spoke sports steering wheel on a tilt column. The gauges are crisp and clean AutoMeter Sport-Comp units set in a cool carbon fiber-style panel. And your right hand is going to love the Hurst shifter. Plus, the upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo will make you want to roll down all the windows on this hardtop and going cruising with your favorite tunes.
Under the hood is where you really understand this full build's level of investment and freshness. While the largest displacement in 1970 was 454 cubic-inches, this one has a monster 496ci stroker motor under the hood. Not only does it look crisp, clean, and shining, but also it's a full performance build. The V8 is an Eagle 496 rotating assembly with a Bullet Cams 709-685 lift 276/286 duration roller cam, Comp Cams roller rockers, AFR aluminum heads, long tube headers, Edelbrock intake, and a large Holley 870 CFM four-barrel carburetor. Plus, you'll notice it's built with the right supporting pieces, like the MSD ignition, serpentine belt system, and aluminum radiator with electric fan. The dual exhaust makes a forceful but subdued sound, which gives this car a dignified confidence. The same goes for the Tremec five-speed manual transmission that gives you full control over the power and also has the convenience of overdrive. This feeds a stout Moser 12-bolt with 3.73 gears. Plus, you have tubular front A-arms, QA1 components, and sway bars front & rear. This well-done driving package is capped off with power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and the modern grip of ZR-rated tries.
The sale comes complete with the factory buildsheet, original warranty card, owner's manual, and build receipts. This is the Chevelle that gets the look, power, and features just right. So if you want a muscle car icon with all the right features, call today!
