1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

The 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS with the L78 396/375 horsepower engine is a remarkable piece of automotive history. This particular example stands out as one of the rarest, documented with its original CKU L78 engine, a big block producing a factory-rated 375 horsepower. The engine, which actually produces around 425 horsepower on the dyno, is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end.
This Chevelle boasts a detailed engine bay with a Winters Foundry aluminum intake, Holley performance carburetor, and factory cast iron exhaust manifolds. The car features power steering, disc brakes, and a dual exhaust system. The suspension includes QA1 Double Adjustable Coil Overs, giving it a lowered stance for improved handling.
Inside, the restored tan bucket seats with headrests and matching rear seat provide a classic look, complemented by a factory dash with an optional U14 round gauge package and a 6500 redline tachometer. The exterior is finished in a vivid red with black SS stripes and hood pins, complemented by chrome bumpers and SS 396 badging. Riding on 18/20” mag wheels with wide black sidewall tires, this Chevelle combines rare performance with striking style.
