1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Preview summaryImage

The 1970 Chevelle has given us some of the hottest muscle car trims ever available. GM lifted a ban on engines over 400 cubic inches, and Chevy responded by creating some monster cars.

Perhaps the best known is the 1970 Chevelle SS 454. A 4.25 x 4 inch bore and stroke in the 454-ci V8 made the ride powerful and quick. Buyers could opt for an LS5, which was rated at 360 horsepower, or the incredible LS6, which featured a 780-cfm Holley four-barrel carburetor and was rated at 450 horsepower at 5,600 rpm.

Only 3,773 SS 454s were produced in 1970, making them very valuable today. The remaining SSs were nothing to sniff at: The base engine was a 402-ci V8 rated at 350 horses. Despite having 402 ci, this trim was still tagged as the SS 396.

A total of 53,599 Chevy Chevelle SSs were produced in 1970.

Have always loved this type of car one of my favorites. Never thought my freind would leave it to me. I will always treasure it and not sale it for any price. I am selling my 65 Impala in hopes of restoring this car.Aug 10, 2014

Was an awesome car. Not really the best car for a 16 year old driver, but it was the 70's. Would leave rubber all the way through 1st and half of 2nd gear. First ticket was received the night I picked it up. Exhibition of Speed ... 30 day automatic suspension in Riverside County. At least I got to drive it until I went to court.Nov 28, 2012
