INTRODUCTION: This is the muscle car of the era- a 1970 Chevelle SS 454 with cowl induction! The one everyone wanted then and still does today. This example has had 1 owner for 26 years and he treated it to a body off frame restoration. It comes well equipped with factory air conditioning and a full gauge package.
EXTERIOR: The body is in great shape with very dry, clean metal throughout. The bottoms of the doors, fenders, and lower rockers all look excellent, and everything lines up square and properly. The fit of the hood, especially at the headlight bezels, is remarkably good. It features a cowl induction hood with a functional flapper door. It's been repainted in Shadow Gray metallic, which is laid out very nicely with a smooth, glossy clear coat. The black stripes have been properly painted on and complement the car perfectly. Overall, the chrome and trim are straight and shiny. The windshield has been replaced along with the weatherstrips. It's rolling proud on reproduction Firestone Wide Oval tires wrapped around a sharp set of SS wheels.
INTERIOR: The interior has been kept stock in appearance and nicely restored, while still offering plenty of features. Down on the floor is fresh carpet along with a full set of GM seatbelts. The bucket seats have been reupholstered, and in between them is the correct center console with staple shifter. The door panels and armrests have been replaced. Up front, the dash has been restored and is complete with a full factory gauge package, a deluxe steering wheel on a tilt column, and a retro stereo fitted in the factory location. It also has 6x9 speakers mounted on the rear shelf. In back, the seats have been reupholstered, and the side panels were replaced. The headliner is new and fits tight without wrinkles, complemented by matching visors.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This Chevelle has a lot to offer under the hood, starting with a factory air conditioning system that has just been overhauled and blows cold. It's also equipped with power steering and power brakes, featuring a cadmium plated booster and a new master cylinder. At the heart of it is a freshly rebuilt, strong-running 454 engine! On top is a dual feed carb and a functional cowl induction system. The rubber seal on the air cleaner mates to the hood, and the flapper doors open to feed fresh air into the engine. It's very proper and complete throughout, including working squirters, new horns, hood insulation, and the correct fan shroud. Overall, it's clean, tidy, and very well presented.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jamb have been repainted and have a glossy finish. Inside is very clean, solid metal with a correct spatter finish. It's complete with a spare tire and cover. The weatherstrip has been replaced, and the decals have been properly reapplied for a fresh, detailed appearance.
UNDERSIDE: This Chevelle underwent a body off frame restoration. The floors are about as nice as you will ever find- smooth, clean metal throughout, including the braces and inner rockers, all finished in a neat satin black. It's equipped with the F41 suspension package, featuring front and rear sway bars and boxed rear control arms. The steering and suspension were rebuilt during the restoration and have been inspected by our shop. The brake system includes disc brakes up front and drums in back, with the e-brake properly hooked up. It has a great sounding dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers and correct cowbell tips. The fuel system has been refreshed with a new tank, straps, and sending unit. Looking up at the engine, it's clean Chevy orange with a high-torque starter. It's backed by a correct 1970 Turbo 400 automatic, and a driveshaft connects to the 12-bolt rear end with 3.36 gears.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.
CONCLUSION: If you prefer stock just like it was in 1970 over big wheels, coilovers, and TMI seats, this is the Chevelle for you! It's clean, properly restored, and still delivers the look and feel that made these cars legendary. On top of that, it's equipped with some very desirable options, making it as enjoyable to drive as it is to own.
