BODYWORK/TRIM

Hailing from GMs storied and still functional Arlington manufacturing facility this stunning LS6 Super Sport is the beneficiary of a high quality frame-off restoration thats so nice it schools factory survivors. After professional metalwork which resulted in a straight and solid profile the cars panels were layered in correct Fathom Blue 2-stage dashed with Classic White Rally Stripes and capped in correct Black vinyl. And today this top dog Chevy rolls as a spectacular piece of iconic American muscle thats detailed to better-than-new standards.

Many enthusiasts believe the 70 Chevelle introduced a host of excellent refinements that transformed the good design of Chevrolets 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 thats finished with clear parking lamps. Above that bumper a correct cowl induction hood anchors rebuilt hide-a-way wipers between vintage glass traditional lanyards and vintage stainless trim. At the base of that trim bright SS454 badges combine with straight wheel frames traditional door handles and a correct chrome mirror to add visual detail to the cars 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 Sports ferocious Turbo Jet V8 was conservatively rated at 450 horsepower it actually punched the dyno somewhere north of 500. Pull this classics pins and youll find a correct cowl induction system thats 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 correct 4557 Holley 4-barrel which is threaded onto a familiar Winters intake. At the back of that intake a traditional points distributor sequences fire through fresh Packard TV R Suppression cables. Below those cables an old school AC fuel pump fronts restored exhaust manifolds and cast iron heads. In front of those heads pliable GM hoses channel water past a correct fan and date-correct alternator with the help of a beefy radiator and familiar tower clamps. Naturally the original mill bathed in vivid Chevy Orange paint fronts a correct 3963512 casting number with a correct CRV assembly stamp and matching partial VIN. And everything from the cars small hood lamp and Delco Moraine brake booster to its mirrored valve covers and reproduction Delco battery looks much nicer than anything that left the assembly line.
