If you grew up around a set of wrenches, you know nothing screams “MUSCLE CAR!” louder than a Chevelle SS454. And even though the MoPar camp does a pretty good job of representing brute force, and the blue oval boys had their fair share of big engine glory, terms like “LS6”, “big block” and “Super Sport” are probably some of the first sounds you remember hearing. Thankfully the significance of those terms only grows with time and education, making cars like this impressive, LS6-equipped Chevelle all the more desirable. And presently, decked in classic white on black war paint, this fully documented Chevy is the product of an extensive, body-off restoration that fostered a return to factory glory and then some. If you're looking to own one of the world's most sought after muscle cars, this show stopping Super Sport is sorted, polished and ready to please!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Originally sold through West End Chevrolet of Waltham, Massachusetts, this stunning coupe is the beneficiary of a high quality, body-off restoration that's so nice it schools factory survivors. The car's acute rehab began with original sheetmetal that was bead-blasted bare, layered in correct Tuxedo Black 2-stage and appropriately accented with Classic White rally stripes. Once that pigment was allotted sufficient drying time, its surfaces were sanded and buffed into a ripple-free finish that's literally as smooth as glass. And today, roughly 1,000 miles out of that metamorphosis, this top dog Chevy rolls as one spectacular piece of iconic American muscle that's detailed to impeccable standards.

Many enthusiasts believe the '70 Chevelle introduced a host of excellent refinements that transformed the 'good' design of Chevrolet's '69 model into something 'great'. At the front of this sinister coupe, a familiar crossbar grille hangs a prominent “SS” emblem between a small “CHEVELLE” script, stainless-trimmed T3 headlights and a fresh chrome bumper that's finished with clear parking lamps. Above that bumper, a correct cowl induction hood anchors rebuilt hide-a-way wipers between new glass, traditional lanyards and pristine stainless trim. At the base of that trim, bright “SS454” badges combine with straight wheel frames, traditional door handles and a flashy chrome mirror to add visual detail to the car's liquid smooth profile. And at the back of that profile, a second chrome bumper centers a black Super Sport inlay between clear brake lights, a classy “Chevelle by Chevrolet” emblem and spotless stainless exhaust tips.

ENGINE

Although the second-generation Super Sport's ferocious Turbo Jet V8 was conservatively rated at 450 horsepower, it actually punched the dyno somewhere north of 500. Pull this classic's stainless lanyards and you'll find a correct cowl induction system that's cleanly integrated into a completely finished, Satin Black frame. At the center of that frame, a correctly decaled, single-snorkel air cleaner forces oxygen in to a big Holley 4-barrel, which is threaded onto a familiar Winters intake. At the back of that intake, a traditional points distributor sequences fire through 7mm AC Delco Premium wires. Below those wires, old school emissions hardware frames restored exhaust manifolds and cast iron heads. In front of those heads, pliable GM hoses channel water past a correct fan and rebuilt alternator with the help of a beefy radiator and familiar tower clamps. Naturally, the VIN-stamped, “CRR” branded mill has been bathed in vivid Chevy Orange paint. And everything, from the car's fresh brake booster and Delco-topped battery all the way to its stainless fluid lines and mirrored valve covers, looks much nicer than anything that left GM's factories.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

In case you're wondering, the bottom of this Chevelle is just as clean and correctly restored as its straight body panels and pristine engine bay. The car's rust-free floors are skinned in slick, Satin Black pigment. Behind the big block, a proven Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed twists power to a 12-bolt, posi-traction axle that's built around correct, 4.10 gears. Holding that killer drivetrain off the ground is a heavy-duty F41 Sport Suspension, which centers correct power steering between stiff springs, boxed control arms and sturdy sway bars. Correct power front disc and rear drum brakes increase stopping and handling ability. Coated exhaust pipes funnel charred dinos through coated resonators and coated Dynomax mufflers. And at the corners of the car, correct Super Sport wheels spin F70-14 Goodyear Polyglas Custom Wide Treads around stainless trim rings and “SS” branded center caps.

INTERIOR

Decked in traditional Black vinyl, this Chevelle's fully restored interior is both attractive and inviting. Its slick bench and bucket seats are firm to the touch, showing no signs of detrimental wear and tear. In front of those seats, a familiar Super Sport dash anchors correct deluxe telemetry beside a correct Delco radio. Below that dash, clean carpet centers a small console between a chrome horseshoe shifter, polished Fisher sills and color-keyed floor mats. At the sides of that carpet, pick-free door panels hang spotless stainless, bright handles and requisite “SS” emblems in front of correct power windows. In front of the driver, a reproduction Chevrolet Rally Wheel keeps everything pointed straight. And behind the passengers, a fully restored trunk seals a full-size spare tire and correct jack assembly between a new mat and fresh decklid decals.
