There is zero proof that this is not a Super Sport but there is very real evidence that it is a true SS. Read further below to find out how we know. We get a lot of nice Detroit iron through our facility but every once and a while a car comes along that is just too good for words. With coated long tube headers and Edelbrock carb/intake manifold, this built 402 whips up an ocean of torque and explosive horsepower. Incredible performance comes to life with the tap of the key and it does not leak, overheat or blow smoke. The TH400 shifts with perfection, the steering is tight, the suspension is new and the power disc brakes don't pull. The '70 Chevelle SS is a muscle car legend. It will take approximately one second behind the wheel of this rocket to understand why . . . A few seconds later, you'll know you're riding a thoroughbred; a real 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396. Actual knuckle whitening performance. It's all the proof you will need. available dates/mileage/receipts/provenance 8-6-68 block casting date 5-19-69 rear axle casting date 7-69 right/rear side glass 9-69 rear/left side glass 11-69 passenger door glass 12-69 driver's door glass 12-69 3rd week Van Nuys, California -

Exterior metal is near perfection and the paint is glass smooth. And, spectacular. The doors, hood and trunk close new car solid, all side glass glide smoothly in their tracks, exterior bright work is spectacular and the wheels are flawless. Stance? Perfect . . . Panel fit is superb, stripe application is gorgeous and the Flowmasters emit a deep rumble that removes all doubt, what a car like this is capable of. With restraint, a Chevy Rat can be very well behaved. Mayhem and violence however, are just a toe-tap away. If you've never driven a big block Chevelle, full whack with a real 396 for the first time can be a sobering experience. For those that have experienced an original (stock) SS 396, this car is way faster than the one you drove . . . These cars didn't get their fearsome reputation on looks alone. There was no such thing as a slow or merely adequate Chevelle SS in 1970. They were all fast . . . the kind of full-body shove into the seat that opens eyes wide and stops conversation. You see those beautiful tail lights, right? The bumper without a single flaw? The black SS pad in perfect condition? That is why this car costs so much. That is why it will continue to appreciate in value. This Chevelle is that good . . . The breathtaking acceleration is matched in this particular car by a steering and suspension system that is likely better than any new Chevelle ever was. With variable ratio power steering and power front disc brakes, this Super Sport is a confident driver on modern roads. No doubt you're amazed at the new car precision, looking down the side. Are you looking for something wrong, hoping to negotiate the price down? Do you want this car that bad? If you've read this far you probably know the '70 Chevelle represents the Zenith in muscle car performance. Opinions vary of course but the semi-fastback shape and front end's doleful smile is the very symbol of the horespower madness of the late '60s and early '70s. Floor this car at any speed; the Cowl Induction opens, the front end rises and the rear end breaks loose with adolescent abandon. The good news is, you're getting a car that starts every time, drives perfectly, doesn't rattle and stays together. It has been fully restored and needs nothing . . . except someone to turn the key and stand on the gas. There's good news and bad news. The good news is; everybody wants this Chevelle just as much as you do. The bad news is, a few people want it more than you do. A lot more. How bad do you want it? The Ivory and black interior is all new and sensational. Options include bucket seats, console, cushioned rim 3-spoke steering wheel, electric clock, AM radio, Soft-Ray tinted glass, windshield antenna and floor mats, all in stunning condition. Incidentlly, the trim code 791 on the cowl tag is for Ivory vinyl bucket seats. Meaning this Super Sport came from the factory with bucket seats . . . The Ivory upholstery has a pearl appearance and not a rip or tear to be found. 402 Cubic Inch V8 Engine (L34) (marketed as a 396) 350 horsepower @ 5,200/415 ft-lb torque @ 3,400 RPM (advertised factory) This engine is an authentic L34 402 service replacement engine with an 8-5-69 block casting date and a 1970 model year engine assembly stamp. Many thanks to whomever wrote in, questioning my eye-sight, reading the engine pad. As a result, I am now even more impressed with the potetial authenticity of this engine and this car. -Foy With the headers and intake upgrades, we're confident saying this beautiful engine is making something north of 400 horsepower. It fires instantly, idles menacingly and makes heroic torque at all RPMs. It is also completely clean and dry. A new steering and suspension rebuild gives this Chevelle its on-road poise and all metal down here is metal. Cross over on the stainless dual exhaust system equalizes back pressure, which enhances low-end torque. Check out those long tube headers. Wow. 12-bolt axle, rear sway bar and boxed lower control arms are SS specific items. More difficult to see here but present nevertheless are two frame braces that came only on a Super Sport. (pictures below) SS Chevelles also had these rear frame braces just ahead of the axle.

This Super Sport came off the assembly line on or about the third week of December, 1969, roughly 4 months after this block was cast. Was it a factory warranty engine installed in this Chevelle shortly after purchase? It's not hard to imagine an overly-enthusiastic owner getting carried away in his (or her) new SS 396 and blowing up the engine, especially an early build car like this. True or not, it is just a story. But it is a good story. And we tell so well, careful to include lots of confusing facts so you, the buyer, can make an informed decision. "HI PERF" and "PASS" block casting. (high performance engine for a passenger car) Good brake pads. This car appears to have the bolted rag joint with cast flange and 12-point bolt, exclusive to Super Sport Chevelles.

Kim's our model doing the photo shoot in the cold high desert at about 7pm, damn sexy even with the blanket.
