Big Block Chevelle. Those are magic words and music to the ears of enthusiasts the world over. A 1970 big block Chevelle is considered by many to be the epitome of American muscle. It’s as good as gold. This Autumn Gold example was lovingly restored with extra attention lavished on the mechanicals. Yes, the gorgeous gold paint is new, as is the chrome, carpeting, and door panels. The frame was sandblasted then coated with POR-15. On this car, though, you’ll find all new suspension components, a new heavy duty oil pump, all new stainless fuel lines and brake lines, new wiper motor and washer, new steering box, all new bushings in the transmission, and of course the engine was freshened up. This one will be a pleasure to drive! If you’ve ever built a car, or even worked on one, you’ll be impressed with all the new parts, nuts and bolts, clamps, hoses, and wiring. Open and close the doors. Perfect. Lots of restored cars have new interior pieces, but this one stands out with outstanding fit and finish along with full functionality. Talk about the Heartbeat of America! Your pulse is sure to rise when you take in the pristine black bucket seats, center console, and full rallye dash with tach. Everything’s here. Then climb aboard. A new tilt steering column and 3-spoke wheel greets you along with the correct Hurst shifter. Power trios make great music. Rush, Led Zeppelin, Queen, ZZTop, and U2 come to mind. A 396/350hp big black, Muncie M20 4-speed, and 3.31 12 bolt posi make up the chart topping power trio on this great automobile. A set of full-length headers and twin Pro-Flo mufflers deliver the sound of power. All the visuals come with it as well. Black SS stripes, rallye wheels, dual chrome exhaust tips, and the trademark SS rear bumper – and that awesome Cowl Induction hood and the iconic badges – leave no doubt that this is a 1970 Chevelle SS396, one of the most desirable models in the collector car world.
Extensive photo records of the restoration come with it, including that key moment with the newly painted frame, engine, and wheels. Each body panel is shown. An amazingly small amount of filler was used to bring the sheetmetal to showable levels of goodness. A huge stack of receipts document the quality of the parts and labor. The original owner’s manual and its bag are here. Plus, the complete 1970 Chevelle, El Camino, and Monte Carlo Assembly Manual, along with past model information from the Chevrolet Hobby & Sales Group. Do you get the idea that the previous owner loved this car? This is a rare opportunity to acquire an SS396 4-speed that has been lovingly restored and cared for. At this point, it’s no surprise to find a quality car cover in the trunk. A spare tire cover too. This car could be just the one you’ve been waiting for. Give us a call.
