Chevrolet first introduced the intermediate Chevelle in 1964 and it became an immediate sales success. The mid-size Chevelle received a minor facelift for 1970; after all, why mess with a good thing? The popular car was just what America wanted as Chevrolet sold over 440,000 Chevelles in 1970. Ads told us of the Chevelle in 1970, “The performance starts as soon as you’re seated.” And, with the big-block 454-cid, 390-hp V-8 LS5 option, like in this car, they weren’t kidding!

This SS 454 is equipped with the correct engine in a nicely presented engine bay plus the desirable and correct M22 four-speed manual transmission. Finished in black with white stripes and black interior with bucket seats, this very clean car also has factory air conditioning, remote driver’s mirror, T3 headlights, correct exhaust system, AM radio, power steering, power brakes, hood pins, factory SS wheels and Goodyear Polyglas tires.

The car makes a great statement now, as then. It is further distinguished by its Protect-O-Plate and original owner’s manual.
