This Chevrolet Chevelle SS was built on March 18, 1970 at the Leeds Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Missouri and sold new at Clark Maple Chevrolet of Chicago, Illinois. The car is powered by a numbers-matching 454ci LS6 V8 mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission and finished in Autumn Gold over a black interior. Factory equipment includes power brakes, a vinyl roof, and a Positraction rear axle. A refurbishment was reportedly carried out under previous ownership, before the seller’s acquisition out of Massachusetts approximately 10 years ago. This Chevelle SS is offered with a build sheet and a Massachusetts title.
The body is finished in correct Autumn Gold (58) under a black vinyl roof and double racing stripes. The cowl induction hood uses a vacuum-operated door to feed air to the carburetor. Additional exterior equipment includes SS badging, hood pins, and chrome wheel well and drip moldings. Corrosion is noted in chips on the passenger-side door jamb.
A walk-around video is provided above. Factory 14” Rallye wheels wear Goodyear Polyglas white-letter tires. Braking is from power-assisted discs up front and drums in the rear.
Black bucket seats with lap belts are joined by matching carpets and a center console featuring a horseshoe shifter. A 3-spoke steering wheel has been installed in place of the stock version, which is included in the sale and pictured in the gallery.
A factory clock and AM radio are retained in the dash. Instrumentation includes a tachometer with a 6,500 rpm redline, a 120-mph speedometer, and a 5-digit odometer that shows 57k miles, approximately 500 of which were added by the seller in 10 years
The 454ci LS6 V8 was factory rated at 450 horsepower, and power is sent to the rear wheels through a 3-speed TH400 transmission and a 3.31:1 Positraction rear end.
Engine block stamping #10K182488 correspond to the VIN number shown on the trim tag in the gallery below, and the CRR code indicates a 454 with a TH400 automatic transmission.
