If you're going to be a tribute to one of the most sought-after muscle machines around, you better do it right. That's what gets us excited about this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 tribute. It's not just the big things on this one like the bold paint and muscular motor, but also as you look over all the photos and info, you see how this really gets the details right, too. This creates the perfect combination of true flair and classic car fun.
The love for this one starts with the paint. Cranberry Red is a 1970-correct colors that immediately commands attention exactly what you want on a big block coupe. This spirit is amplified thanks to a more recent application where the modern luster looks terrific in the sunshine and almost glows at night. And those iconic black SS stripes were added before the clearcoat, which means the panels are butter-smooth. It's this kind of attention to detail you understand as you notice uniform gaps, straight sheetmetal, and even fresh window rubber. And those chrome bumpers have the kind of investment that you can use them like mirrors. This is a truly carefully crafted classic. But more than just an upper-class vintage coupe, you want this one because it's a true muscle machine. The cowl induction hood, hood pins, proper Super Sport badging, fastback profile, and Rally wheels are all part of what makes this an intimidating American icon.
We love it when the exterior accent color is also a preview of the inside color. And it only gets better on a proper bucket seat interior. The dash, door panels, and seats all feel good from the right investments. And don't you just love how the carpeting has a touch of a cool red almost like a shout out to the aggressive exterior paint. This one has all the right vintage touches from the iconic horseshoe shifter to the dual spoke factory wheel that gives you a clear view at the gauges. And speaking of those readouts, it's great to see an SS tribute with the large round speedo and tach. This one even has air conditioning. But even with all those great factory features, they made sure to give this one the right thoughtful upgrades. For example, the auxiliary gauge trio is present and backlit. Plus, the AM/FM stereo is a retro-style unit that gives you the convenience of a digital tuner while still looking period-correct.
Under the hood is plenty of big block power with the 454 cubic-inch V8. It looks great with the bold block, bright valve covers, and matching air topper. And they even made sure to use the right decals. But while this will have you opening the hood at the car shows, they're going to have to get you off the road first. After all, the Rochester four-barrel carburetor lets this one inhale deeply, and there's nothing quite like the intoxicating growl of a big block's dual exhaust. So you'll be too busy enjoying the power and thunderous soundtrack to ever want to get off the road. And amplifying this great driving attitude are all the right supporting components. This includes the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, front disc brakes, proper SS-style reinforced trailing arms, and front & rear sway bars.
So here's an icon that looks terrific, sounds terrific, and drives like a terrific muscle car. Starting to get the picture? Anyone who wants a superior muscle machine will recognize this is one terrific deal. So don't miss out, call today!
