1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Tribute

Description

Extra color coordination, an extra vintage interior, and extra power from the recently rebuilt 454 big block are all what make this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS tribute an extra special muscle car.

The paint holds close to 1970's Cranberry Red. So you have the bright look of a coupe that was updated to a vibrant color later in life. And the radiance continues everywhere from the chrome bumpers to the polished American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with a sporty 18/20-inch front/rear stance. It has all the right Super Sport upgrades with the blackout hood, blackout rear panel, SS badging, wide dual exhaust tips, and powder dome cowl hood. And we especially like the look of the white racing stripes. They not only look distinct against the red paint, but they also coordinate well with the white vinyl top to give this hardtop some thoughtful distinction.

We love the look of a good bench seat interior. It just makes you want to go looking for a drive-in. Plus, the deep black carpeting, smooth dash, and classic Malibu upholstery make for the right look on a driver-ready coupe. The dash has the right classic look, and this even has the controls for a factory A/C car (it will need the rest of the components to restore the function.) And this also has the right driver-oriented features. This includes the desirable tilt steering column, a Muncie floor shifter, and an auxiliary gauge trio under the dash.

This is the kind of motor that will make you proud to lift the hood at car shows. The 454 cubic-inch V8 was rebuilt only a few months ago, and we have the $6k receipt to prove it. Of course, the freshness is the real proof where you see all the bright pieces radiating from within the dark inner walls. But when you look beyond the nice presentation you feel a meaner attitude. The big block inhales deeply through an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. It exhales with added authority and power as long-tube headers feed the rumbling dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. Best of all, the four-speed manual transmission puts you in the center of the action. Control stays well in hand thanks to power steering, power brakes, front discs, an SS-style rear, and modern sport tires afforded by the wheel upgrade.
