A Note From The Seller:

* For many muscle car collectors, verification of a desirable model is necessary before considering a purchase, as it ensures the car started its life as it appears today. In the case of this Champagne Gold 1970 Chevelle SS, a build sheet verifies that it left the Atlanta, Georgia, assembly plant with its most important equipment.
* Raise the domed hood to find a L34 big block V8 which, despite emblems and decals to the contrary, displaced 402 CID thanks to an increase in the 396's bore. It was rated by Chevrolet as producing 415 lb ft of peak torque. Aft of the engine is RPO M40, a turbo hydramatic TH400 3 speed automatic transmission sending power to the Chevelle's 12 bolt, 3.31 geared rear end. The fun of driving this Chevelle wasn't limited to experiencing its prodigious torque at stoplight launches. Its chassis was equipped with the F41 special performance suspension, which included heavy duty springs and shock absorbers, plus front and rear sway bars. Drivability was also improved thanks to power steering and power brakes with discs in front. Era correct F7014 Goodyear polyglas biasply tires are mounted to five spoke SS wheels.
* The Chevelle's interior is equipped with the optional Strato bucket seats, center console (with stirrup shaped transmission shift lever) and a pushbutton radio in the dashboard. SS model Chevelle's were fitted with instrument panels different from standard models, with three main pods in front of the driver housing a variety of gauges, depending on what was ordered. The pods in this instrument panel house a fuel gauge, speedometer and tach, while contemporary gauges in an under dash panel keep tabs on the engine's oil pressure, water temperature and voltage. Sold new at Matthews Chevrolet in Saluda, SC, this Chevelle SS 396 has been through a comprehensive body off restoration.
