1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

Frame Off Restored LS6 454/450hp M22 4spd with Build Sheet

At the height of the muscle car era, the gloves were really off. Every manufacturer was stuffing 400+ cubic inches in their best midsize cars and going racing. Factory ratings for horsepower were notoriously low for insurance purposes, so when Chevrolet introduced the LS6 454 as a regular option on the Chevelle SS rated at 450hp; people knew they had a strong runner on their hands.

Beautifully restored in its factory correct colour of Fathom Blue with white stripes and black interior, this 1970 Chevelle SS was originally ordered by Gordon Butler Chevrolet in Lowell Massachusetts . Built to handle the power, this Chevelle is equipped with a numbers matching LS6 454 and to get that power to the ground, a Muncie “Rock Crusher” M22 4 speed was chosen with a 4.10 gear equipped posi rear end. F41 suspension, power disc brakes and a heavy duty battery round out the short but sweet list of options selected for this SS. The car benefited from a complete frame off ground up restoration ensuring that the car looks as well as it performs. All options shown on the car are fully documented by a build sheet, taken from the rear seat of the car during its restoration. A fantastic example of what the muscle car consumer was shopping for, a pure, no nonsense brute with the largest engine available, the bulletproof drivetrain to back it up and the looks that cannot be ignored.
