1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Tribute

Description

While a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle is always appealing, this one does it better in all the right places. After all, a freshly restored hardtop with an enhanced big block power, a great color combo, and a comfortable A/C interior give this muscle car classic an award-worthy presentation.

The appeal of this coupe is as clear as black and white – literally. This car was restored only about 1,000 miles ago, and so the new application of bright white paint really radiates the light. And the high-gloss finish loves to highlight the gentile curves in the profile that make this such an iconic classic. But this Chevelle also has a dark side. The painted black stripes join the blacked-out grille and black rear panel to create a timeless contrast that give this one plenty of distinction. The intimidation factor is turned up a notch with great Super Sport upgrades, like the badging, hood pins, and a functioning cowl induction hood. Against all this aggression is also the right amount of flair with the form-fitting chrome bumpers, full bright trim, and Mag-style SS wheels.

The smooth action of the doors is another reminder of the careful restoration, and when you look inside, you can tell there was plenty of investment in here, too. We love it when the exterior accent color is a preview of the interior color, and this one has a dark and fresh presentation everywhere, including the seats, carpeting, headliner, and dash. This has a true classic appeal, but as you look over all the pictures, you'll notice some great subtle upgrades. This includes a retro-style AM/FM stereo with a digital tuner and Bluetooth. Plus, the air conditioning has been upgraded to a modern R134a system. So you know this is the classic that will have family and friends begging for a ride. But this will always be a true driver's machine at its heart. That's why you have bucket seats, a center console, and the iconic horseshoe shifter. Plus, the classic Chevy sports steering wheel gives you a clear view to the U14 full gauge package that includes a large speedo and tach.

The first glance at the engine bay, and you see proper big block power in a very tidy presentation. It has all the right classic elements, like the Chevy orange block, bright valve covers, and the gasket around that air grabber to seal it to the cowl induction hood. It's highly detailed, right down to the Keep Your GM Car All GM decal. But on closer inspection you'll see a ton of upgrades. This 454 cubic-inch big block has been enhanced with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, HEI ignition, and Hedman headers feeding the growling dual exhaust. Plus, it has all the right supporting components, like March serpentine pulleys, a Powermaster alternator, and a four-core aluminum radiator w/electric fan. As you look at the undercarriage photos, you see more fresh components, including the SS upgrades like the boxed trailing arms and sway bars front & rear. And because this has been built to be an all-around great cruising classic, you also get power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and a strong TH400 three-speed automatic transmission.

This fresh restoration has already taken home a Best Chevelle award, and you can instantly see why. So if you want a muscle car icon with all the right features, call today!
