This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle is powered by a 396ci V8 mated to a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission and features SS-style body and interior trim. Factory equipment includes air conditioning, power steering and brakes, heavy-duty suspension, and a Positraction rear axle according to an included build sheet. The car was refurbished in 2006 with a repaint in GM code 78 Black Cherry Metallic and reupholstery of its ivory vinyl interior. This Chevelle has spent two years under current ownership and is offered due to health issues with a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The body was refinished in Black Cherry Metallic with white rally stripes by Yesteryear Classics of Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2006 according to a show description from the seller. Trim includes an SS-style front end and cowl induction hood. 15″ SS Rallye wheels with polished beauty rings are mounted with Goodyear Polyglas tires. The car was factory-optioned with the F41 heavy-duty suspension package according to the build sheet.
The interior features ivory-colored vinyl upholstery with a black dash and carpets. The Strato bucket seats include headrests and are split by a full-length console housing a Hurst shifter. The seller states that the passenger door button is difficult to depress, and the horn has been unplugged due to a sticky button.
A wood-rimmed steering wheel has replaced the factory item, which is included in the sale. A stock-style pushbutton radio features satellite reception and the car is equipped with air conditioning, which has reportedly been converted to use modern refrigerant. Round instrumentation includes a 7k-rpm tachometer, an ammeter, a temperature gauge, and a 5-digit odometer showing approximately 7k miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The car was ordered with a 396ci L34 V8, a 4-speed Muncie M20 transmission, and a Positraction-equipped differential with 3.31:1 gears according to the build sheet. Doug’s exhaust headers have been installed, and a pair of cast-iron exhaust manifolds said to be the original units is included in the sale.
