This 1970 Chevelle SS has been a Street machine that has been part of the American automotive culture for the last half-century or longer, as owners often added their personal touches to the legendary as-built performance designs released by the manufacturer. One of the most popular projects for this effort was the Chevrolet Chevelle, and the car here, a factory-built SS396 car from 1970, highlights some modern changes without losing touch with its OEM roots. It’s the beneficiary of a rotisserie restoration, and that process began with powder-coating the original frame. The Chevelle was a reworked model for 1970, and this was the only generation of this styling that features the quad-headlamp grille design.Screenshot 2024-02-06 at 3.24.37 PM.png2.02 MB
For power here, the Turbo-Jet was left aside; this car is currently equipped with a modern 6.0L LS2 V-8 engine. With Chevrolet script valve covers, fabricated metal intake layout, and functional headers feeding a dual exhaust system, this engine is neatly tucked down into a customized red engine bay. The motor is backed by a manual transmission, and this Chevelle’s suspension changes include tubular control arms, a Wilwood brake system and RideTech suspension upgrades. The undercarriage is also painted red. Screenshot 2024-02-06 at 3.25.44 PM.png1.89 MB
The exterior paint is in white with black Rally stripes, and the interior is customized with a diamond-stitch insert design on the seats and door panels. This includes front buckets separated with a custom console with billet-style shift arm, stereo upgrades that include speaker mountings in the kick panels, a restored dash and a custom three-spoke Budnik steering wheel. Heavy-duty seat belts complete these changes. The exterior still has the factory SS rear rubber insert, centered SS grille emblem, Cowl Induction hood trim and flap-door, and chrome exhaust tips. A set of larger-diameter wheels are done in black with chrome accents, and low-profile radial tires provide road contact. Cleanly done and engineered for enjoyment, this Chevelle is still what street machines are all about.
