This was a car I rebuilt myself.  This car is true to the "take no prisoners" 454, with an 800-cfm Holley four barrel on an aluminum manifold, 11.25:1 compression, solid lifters, four-bolt mains, forged steel crank and connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, and deep-groove accessory pullies.  It has a Turbo 400 automatic and has Positraction which was an option back in 1970.   

She has matching numbers.  She has been restored to near mint condition.

Exterior is silver with black racing stripes down the hood and trunk.  Interior is black.

This beauty is obviously not my daily driver, but I do take her out of the garage on weekends.  She's been the best car I've owned thus far.  Find her stats below:

Engine:
V-8
Horsepower 450 @ 5600
Torgue 500@ 3600

Performance:
0-60 in 6.1 seconds
1/4 mile 13.7 @ 103mph

I would recommend the 1970 LS6 to anyone interested in a beefy, yet sultry muscle car.

Pros — Positives?  All of the above.  
Cons — Nada

I love it..this one i have has a PAR 565 cubic inch big block that has ran 9.67 at 134mph ..peddling it 3 times in the quarter...if i can get the correct set up it should go low 9,s and high 8,s on the bottle with any luck..the only thing i dis liked originally was how heavy it was..i cured that bye going all fiberglass except the roof now it weighs 2450lbs with me in it.

Pros — Styling..everyone knows a chevelle
Cons — heavy..hard to make fast with out a tin diet...but still quick from the factory

this car has a tone of power. many paople says its a very hot car but the problems are its hard to hande and has bad gas mileage but if your a good enough driver its possible to put it in any kind of street race at stock. It has 450 bhp and 500 lbs of torque and if you buy a 6 gear transmission for it it can go almost 300 km/h
overall I love this car

Pros — high power. looks nice goes fast
Cons — feul echonomy.handling. only 4 gears

Pure MUSCLE !!! It's an age gone by, it's to bad. The years 66 - 70 will be remembered as the "Muscle car age" where horse power out weighed handling, when gas prices were in budget, when mid size meant you could put 4 friends in your car and when engines were able to be worked on in your own garage.

Pros — It's a car of the past
Cons — Too bad there not made anymore

Likes: It looks awesome! It has a big engine.
Dislikes: They are old (no new technology). I don't own it. American made: probably not the most reliable.

Well the malibu package is a bit of a bland one, just a basic swept speedometer and a bench seat is about all you get, 350, 4 speed manual, 12 bolt rear end with factory 4 link rear suspension.  Decent acceleration, it is no LS6 by any means, but 4 wheel drum brakes with organic linings can get a bit hairy at times.

Pros — Excellent looks, driveability, acceleration, power and sound.
Cons — Stops weak, lack of better gauges and interior.
