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.

This is all steel,back when cars were made of pure steel.Like they said,there is no substute for cubic inches.No ECM no computer brain,if you got fuel and spark it will start and run all day long.You will have to put fuel in this bad boy,back then who cared about fuel economy!Jul 04, 2014

Whats not to like? Great performance,full frame suspension, styling sedate but very well done,4 speed,air conditioning I also own a Corvette C5 Vert and its every bit as fun to drive and own. I have kids and have a great musclecar with a rear seat for cruises,shows etc. Head turner absolutely everywhere. The 70 has it all. I also had a 69 SS Camaro 4 speed and the Chevelle is far superior. On a long trip the ride quality is fantastic. A garage is a must and the more you drive it the better it is! What is interesting is the ones that have 2 or 3 musclecars and keep their Chevelles the longest. Apr 18, 2011

Great car . Out of all the cars I've had I wish I still had this one . Performance was good . Build quality inside and out was good. Handing wasn't to bad with front and rear sway bars . Braking was good with power disc brakes .Jun 25, 2010
