1970 Chevrolet Chevelle

OVERVIEW

This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle two-door hardtop was treated to a rotisserie restoration under prior ownership. It receives power from a 454ci big-block V8 linked with a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission and a 3.73:1 Positraction rear end. Equipment includes power steering, power front disc brakes, 15-inch Magnum 500-style wheels, a center console, a tilt steering wheel, a dual exhaust system, and SS badging. Finished in Cortez Silver with black stripes over a black vinyl interior, this second-generation Chevelle is now offered with the removed original rear-end gears and a clear title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The Cortez Silver exterior features black accent stripes on the hood and trunk lid, directional signals on the front fenders, chrome brightwork, hood retention pins, SS fender badging, dual mirrors, and a dual exhaust system. The seller notes that the cowl-induction hood works intermittently. They have posted a walk-around video below.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

The 15-inch Magnum 500-style wheels with polished trim rings are wrapped in 225/70 front and 275/60 rear BFGoodrich Radial T/A raised-white-letter tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The interior is furnished with black vinyl bucket seats up front, a bench in the rear, and matching materials for the door panels, dash, and carpeting. Amenities include carpeted floor mats, a center console with a horseshoe shifter, an AM radio, tinted glass, and a tilt steering column.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer surrounded by a 7K-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, and voltage. The reportedly accurate five-digit analog odometer reads 25,545 miles. Two aftermarket meters below the dashboard display additional information.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

According to the seller, the 454ci big-block V8 was rated at 450 horsepower. It received an oil change in the fall of 2022; the Optima battery was installed in March 2023. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission and an upgraded 3.73:1 Positraction rear end.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Steering is power-assisted. Stopping is performed by power disc brakes up front and drums in the rear.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

This vehicle was previously sold on AutoHunter, but it is being relisted after the buyer backed out of the transaction through no fault of the seller. The sale includes the car’s removed original rear-end gears.
