1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 502 Tribute

Description

This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 502 Tribute has a bold radiating look on the outside. So it sets the right tone for the nitrous-injected 502ci big block power, overdrive transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes that makes it one heck of an upgraded icon.

The body is dressed in a smooth and vibrant yellow that makes people stand at attention from blocks away. We could say that this burning-hot finish gives this car some serious aggression, but the '70 Chevelle already defined what a beefy muscle car should be. Its crisp creases, sharply-pointed front end, and sleek fastback profile make it fundamentally intimidating. And this has the right Super Sport upgrades you want, like the cowl hood, hood pins, and wide dual exhaust tips. And the painted black SS stripes kick off a full dark side that includes the grille, tinted windows, upgraded 17-inch wheels, and taut-fitting vinyl roof. And while you're looking at the shine of the big chrome bumper up front, don't forget to notice that two headlights are now grilles. It's the kind of distinctive detail that lets people know this one earns its aggressive style.

The black interior has the right mix of a clean style but nothing that will even make you worry about dusty shows on family and friends. And as much as this is fun to take everyone for a ride, you can really tell the investments focus on the drive. That's why you have nicely bolstered modern front bucket seats featuring wide headrests and Corbeau racing harnesses. There's also a sports steering wheel on a tilt column, power steering, a center console with auxiliary readouts, a Hurst shifter, and a full set of AutoMeter Carbon Fiber gages. There's a fully upgraded radio with an AM/FM/CD stereo that includes USB and Bluetooth to upgrade the driving music. But music doesn't get in the way of performance. That's why the subwoofer box and NOS tank can live together in the ample trunk.

The whole engine bay has a beautifully dark style that showcases a serious power package. This 502 cubic-inch crate V8 is larger than anything the factory gave the Chevelle. We're told it's a performance-built motor that includes aluminum heads and a more aggressive camshaft. And those headlights were eliminated so that you can have dual tubes deliver cold air into the motor like a classic Olds W-30 system. This feeds the Holley 850 double-pumper four-barrel carburetor and an aluminum intake. And the full package exhales with added power and rumble as headers feed the X-pipe dual exhaust. This is supported by the right pieces, like an aluminum radiator, electric fans, March pulleys, an MSD 6AL ignition, and the battery mounted in the trunk for better weight distribution. The full package is said to be dyno rated at 618hp/605 lb-ft of torque, and that doesn't even yet account for the 100 hp shot of nitrous (we're told the system has yet to be engaged on the motor.) The four-speed automatic transmission gives you overdrive comfort and better ratios to enjoy the power. And there's said to be a Positraction rear end for confident take-offs. Sway bars (front & rear), reinforced rear suspension arms, ZR-rated tires, and four-wheel power disc brakes with drilled & slotted rotors are all there to give you added confidence when enjoying this powerful coupe.

Nitro big block power, a radiant style, and plenty of comforts all come together on this Chevelle. So if you want your classic to be powerful, memorable, and iconic, call today!
