If you're looking to own one of the world's most sought after muscle cars, his show stopping Super Sport is sorted, olished and ready to please!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Hailing from GM's acclaimed Kansas City manufacturing facility, his stunning LS5 Super Sport is the beneficiary of a high quality, ody-off restoration that's so nice it schools factory survivors. After professional metalwork, hich resulted in a straight and solid profile, he car's panels were layered in correct Tuxedo Black basecoat, ccented with Classic White rally stripes and sealed in a thick clearcoat shell. Once that clearcoat was allotted sufficient drying time, ts surfaces were sanded and buffed into a ripple-free finish that's literally as smooth as glass. And today, his top dog Chevelle sits as a spectacular piece of iconic American muscle that's detailed to better-than-new 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, familiar crossbar grille hangs a prominent "SS" emblem between a small "CHEVELLE" script, our stainless-trimmed T3s and a fresh chrome bumper. Above that bumper, functional cowl induction hood anchors rebuilt hide-a-way wipers between new glass, raditional lanyards and pristine stainless trim. At the base of that trim, right "SS454" badges combine with straight wheel frames, raditional 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, second chrome bumper centers a black Super Sport inlay between clear brake lights, classy "Chevelle by Chevrolet" emblem and spotless stainless exhaust tips.

ENGINE

In 1970, f you wanted a top-of-the-line Chevelle, ou had two options. You could order an LS6 car and put up with a moody, ncivilized big block that didn't like running accessories. Or you could order an LS5 car and have a nicely optioned, ell-rounded performer that stomped pretty much anything on the street. Either way you'd have an awesome ride, ut the irony of the situation is: LS5 cars are actually RARER than LS6 cars! Rolling out of the factory with an impressive 360 horsepower and massive 500 lb./ft. of torque, his Chevelle's correct LS5 454 is fully rebuilt and ready for show. At the top of the big engine, functional cowl induction system forces wind into a single-snorkel air cleaner that's cinched to a familiar Quadrajet carburetor. At the sides of that carburetor, irror-like valve covers loom new Packard TV R Suppression cables above correct heads and fully restored exhaust manifolds. At the back of those manifolds, traditional points distributor stands between a new wiper motor and fresh Delco Moraine brake booster. Opposite that booster, shrouded radiator circulates water through new GM hoses and reproduction tower clamps. And at the side of those clamps, fresh Delco Energizer jolts a newly rebuilt alternator. Naturally, he car's Satin Black engine bay and Chevy Orange block are highlighted by a series of factory-accurate markings. And all of the engine's belts, ardware and stainless lines are in the kind of excellent, howroom-fresh condition that ensures big points and great performance.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

In case you're wondering, he 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 covered in slick Red Oxide. Its fully restored F41 heavy duty suspension, hich includes thicker coils, eavy duty shocks, larger diameter front sway bar, standard rear sway bar, oxed rear control arms and upper rear cross braces, ppears to be in better-than-new condition. Behind the big block, rugged Muncie Rock Crusher twists power to a 12-bolt, osi-traction rear axle that's built around familiar, .31 gears. At the sides of that drivetrain, chambered, rue-dual exhaust system funnels charred dinos through small resonators and spotless stainless tips. At the sides of that exhaust, ower front disc and rear drum brakes combine with traditional power steering to provide modern handling ability. At the sides of those brakes, ttractive Super Sport wheels spin great looking F70-14 Goodyear Polyglas Custom Wide Treads around clean, SS" branded center caps. And while this Chevy's specs sound pretty straight forward, he quality of its restoration is simply remarkable!

INTERIOR

Featuring a host of new components, nd decked in what is arguably one of the coolest colors offered for the 1970 model year, his Chevelle's correctly restored GM code 787 Medium Red interior is both inviting and unique. Its slick bench seats are firm to the touch, howing no signs of detrimental wear and tear. In front of those seats, familiar Super Sport dash hangs deluxe telemetry above a correct Delco radio and new Auto Meter accessory gauges. Below that dash, lean red carpet centers a chrome Muncie shifter between Fisher sills and thick, olor-keyed floor mats. At the sides of that carpet, ick-free door panels align spotless stainless trim and requisite "SS" emblems on bright chrome handles and pliable red armrests. In front of the driver, simple, SS" branded steering wheel keeps everything pointed straight. And behind the passengers, fully restored trunk anchors a full-size spare and correct jack assembly between a new mat and fresh decklid decals.
