One of the most iconic muscle cars, arguably, is the 1970 Chevelle SS — particularly with the LS-6 454 under the hood. That’s not to say the LS-5 454 or the 396 (402) variants weren’t equally as appealing. The look of the ’70 Chevelle alone is timeless, and it’s one of the most sought-after muscle cars, ever.
The team at Roadster Shop understand this, and they have recently completed a ’70 Chevelle build for one lucky customer. While on the face of it, it looks like a pretty standard ’70 Chevelle SS — just lowered with larger diameter versions of the factory wheels. But that’s far, far from the case. Every inch of the car has been reshaped, tweaked, cut, cleaned-up and dialed-in perfectly.
It actually starts off as a base, 307 Malibu, but after Roadster Shop had their way with this thing, it certainly earned those Super Sport racing stripes. Jeremy from RS takes on a virtual spin in the car, breaking down all of the juicy details. Additional information from Roadster Shop has been posted below:
Official Description:
Jeremy takes us for a ride in Brent’s immaculate, RS-built 1970 Chevelle. Packing a 700hp Texas Speed LSX motor, Bowler T-56 transmission mated to our SPEC Chevelle chassis, the foundation for a flawless driver has been laid. When you back that up with every inch and part of this car getting tweaked, tucked, neatened and fit to perfection, this is one of the most detailed and complete Chevelle’s we’ve ever had the pleasure of building.
Era-appropriate details are brought tastefully into the 21st century with details such as the Greening Auto wheels enveloping massive Baer brakes, Dakota Digital gauges and a full array of DEI sound and heat protection layers masterfully disguised beneath a beautiful custom Avant Garde Design interior. See the full build gallery, details and SPEC chassis info at the links below.
