Seller Description: Back in 1970, Chevrolet must have seen the end of the Muscle Car horsepower wars coming. So they pulled out all the stops and created the “King” of all the standard passenger-car production factory-horsepower-rated muscle cars of the era. This was the 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6. It was factory rated at 450 HP and 500 lbs ft of torque—the highest factory HP rating for any production engine of the muscle-car era. It must have made for a very sizeable insurance premium check for those who opted for it.

When you checked off the LS6 option engine for your Chevelle SS 454, you got 11.25-to-1 compression forged aluminum pistons, solid lifters, four-bolt mains in the block, a forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods, and deep-groove accessory pullies. Sitting on top of it all was the aluminum intake manifold with a garbage-can sized 800-cfm Holley four barrel. If you chose the manual 4-speed transmission you got the legendary Muncie M-22 “Rock Crusher” heavy-duty 4-speed.

The 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 you see here is one of the most originally and faithfully restored I have ever seen. It also is very heavily optioned for a vehicle of its type and age.

454/450 HP LS6 engine, M-22 heavy-duty Muncie 4-speed transmission and 3.31 geared, 12-Bolt positraction axle. Forest Green exterior with white stripes and black vinyl bench interior. Optioned with very rare rear-window defogger, tilt wheel, washer wipers, AM/FM Stereo radio, electric clock, tachometer, all tinted glass, positraction, power disc brakes, power steering, recessed windshield wipers, hood and deck striping, F41 performance suspension, F70X14 white letter tires and Special Ducted (Cowl Induction) Hood.

All numbers matching engine and transmission and original rear end. All original sheet metal except one front fender (replaced with NOS Chevrolet item) and one door (replaced with a correct door from another Chevelle/Malibu). All original frame with the matching VIN # clearly in the driver side, rear frame rail. Best of all, 18,088K original, documented miles!

This incredibly well restored LS6 Chevelle SS is documented with 1 full and 1 partial build sheet, title history clearly showing the ultra-low mileage, a restoration video, lots of restoration and pre-restoration pictures, all restoration receipts, and the undisturbed, matching VIN #s on the dash, rear frame rail, under the heater box on the firewall, and on the engine block and transmission. It also comes with the original owner’s manual and Consumer Information pamphlet from 1970.

Undoubtedly one of the most meticulously and faithfully restored, original LS6 Chevelle SS’ in the world. By the way, it also drives and functions like it just came off the assembly line.
