Details

For 1970 the Chevelle sported a completely redesigned body and interior. The results were a sleek, muscular body that was an instant hit. Typical for Chevelle, the aggressive body work covered the potent engine underneath. The power-plant of this 1970 Chevelle convertible is the L78 396ci V8 big-block. This matching-numbers engine produces 375hp and is mated to a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission and factory 3.55 posi-traction rear axle. This drop-top was treated to a comprehensive frame-off restoration, resulting in a Concours d'Elegance victory. The Fathom Blue paint and blue vinyl-upholstered interior are in great condition. From top to bottom, this Chevelle has every detail carefully worked out and it performs just as good as it looks. Equipment includes power white convertible top, cowl-induction hood, power steering and power front disc brakes. The interior sports bucket seats with center console and the famous Hurst shifter. A plethora of historical documents come with the car, including two Build Sheets, replacement Protect-O-Plate warranty booklet and the Chevelle's certificate from the L78 Registry. Service and restoration receipts are included as well. From the Raser Collection.
