Description for Chevrolet Chevelle 1970

This is a RARE opportunity for a Chevelle Super Sport enthusiast to own an allORIGINAL Super Sport LS5 454 Survivor. The odometer shows 86,000 miles and has not rolled over. This Chevelle SS comes in a rare and desired color combination of Forest Green on green interior.

The car was found sitting in a garage in Ohio. It had been there since 1982 and was last registered in 1981.

The original owner bought the car from Butler Chevrolet in New London, onnecticut. He kept meticulous maintenance records including a handwritten log in a hard covered notebook (please see pics). This notebook as well as the original Build Sheet and owners' manual will be included in the sale of this car.

The second owner lived in Ohio. He drove the car from 1979 — 1980. He then sold the car to his younger brother who drove the car until 1982 and then parked it in the garage. It remained in that garage until a few months ago and, n fact, till has the original license plate on it.

I was told that the car was started every so often to keep the valve stem seals from drying out. I thoroughly inspected the car and the following work was done after pulling it from 33-years of indoor storage:

  • The gas tank was dropped and cleaned.

  • New fuel pump

  • New battery

  • New water pump

  • Original radiator re-cored

  • New master cylinder

  • New starter

  • New plugs, ires, ap, utton, ondenser, oints, nd coil

    The Quadra-jet carb was removed and replaced with a Holley to start the car. Both the Holley and Quadra-jet carb will come with the car. After all the work was completed, he car started right up and now runs just like a 454 LS5 should.

Overall, his original Chevelle is in very good condition:

ENGINE/TRANSMISSION/REAR-END

  • The 454 is pad stamped with the last four are 7CRT. The pad also has the correct VIN stamping of 10A166131.
