1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS5 For Sale - Bulletproof General Motors Docs, Frame Off Restoration

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS5

  The 1970 model year is renowned as the peak of the early muscle era, when engineering developments coaxed more power than ever from increasingly large powerplants. This would also be the last year before emissions laws and insurance regulations began to choke off those very same muscle mills. For 1970, Chevrolet added a new version of its Mark IV big-block to the Chevelle’s options list. The LS5, with a 10.25:1 compression ratio, hydraulic camshaft and Quadrajet carburetor, was rated at 360 HP and a whopping 500 lb-ft of torque. This was “the engine that gives the SS454 its name. And its go,” read a Chevrolet sales brochure.

  This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 LS5 is a prime example of American muscle at its peak. Painted in its factory color combination of code 48 Forest Green Metallic complemented by dual white stripes, a 2A white vinyl top and Ivory vinyl interior.This particular Chevelle SS is powered by the numbers matching LS5 454ci engine, which produced 360 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a Muncie M22 “Rockcrusher” four-speed manual transmission, this car delivers an exhilarating driving experience, putting its raw power directly in the driver’s hands. Adding to its authenticity and collectability, this Chevelle SS comes documented with GM paperwork, verifying its factory specifications. Additional options as listed on the GM documentation include B22 door trim emblem, B96 wheel opening moldings, C08 vinyl top, F41 suspension, G80 positraction, GY2 3.31 rear axle ratio, J50 power brakes, JL2 front disc brakes, T60 heavy duty battery, U76 Antenna and UM1 AM Push Button radio. A special example like this was deserving of a complete, frame off restoration as it left the factory when new. 

  With its numbers-matching engine and official documentation, this car stands as a true investment-grade muscle car, preserving its originality and value. A70 Chevelle SS 454 LS5, four-speed, numbers-matching engine and GM-documented is a rare and desirable piece of muscle car history—an ultimate example of power, style, and provenance.
