1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS – Real Deal Super Sport, Matching Numbers Muncie, Big Block 396, Recent Restoration Work, Functional Cowl Induction.
Up for sale this iconic and highly sought-after 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. This is a true Super Sport car that boasts classic American muscle and recent restoration investments — making it a rare opportunity for the serious collector or enthusiast.
This Chevelle SS features what is believed to be the original 396 Big Block V8 engine. While the engine stamping is very difficult to read due to age and wear, the casting and presentation are consistent with the factory-correct setup, and the vehicle still retains its original Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission, further confirming its pedigree.
Noteworthy upgrades and maintenance items include:
New Upper and Lower A-Arms
New Ball Joints and Front-End Suspension Components
Complete New Carpet and Interior Refresh
Retrosound Stereo with Bluetooth Connectivity and Sirius Satellite Radio Integration
Refinished Trunk with Correct Splatter Paint
New Clutch for Improved Driving Performance
Brand New Set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A Tires in correct factory sizing
Most Significantly – A Complete Repaint Completed in May 2025
It’s important to note that while the new paint job is of high quality and was professionally completed, the color is not an exact match to the original Fathom Blue. There are also a few blemishes in the finish, which, despite not affecting the mechanical or structural integrity, have caused some frustration for the meticulous owner — ultimately leading to the decision to place the car for sale once again.
This Chevelle SS presents in an eye-catching Blue exterior with White racing stripes, paired with a factory-correct Ivory (White) bucket seat interior, creating a bold and unmistakable classic muscle car appearance. Notable features and options include:
Factory Bucket Seats with Center Console
Tachometer and Functional Gauge Cluster
Functional Cowl Induction Hood – A True SS Hallmark
Tilt Steering Column
Power Steering
Power Front Disc Brakes
Original Muncie M20 4-Speed Manual Transmission
New Tires with Proper Fitment
The car starts easily, idles strong, and pulls with authority — just as you'd expect from a big-block Chevelle SS. The clutch engagement is smooth, the Muncie shifts precisely, and the brakes feel confident thanks to the updated components. The car feels planted on the road, aided by the recent suspension work and new tires.
Interior: Very nice overall with new carpet and minor updates
Undercarriage: Solid and clean
Mechanical: Strong running and driving car, fresh clutch, new front-end components
This is a turn-key, true 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS that combines authenticity with tasteful modern enhancements. With a big-block V8 under the hood, Muncie transmission, and a standout color combination, this is an investment-grade muscle car that also happens to be an absolute joy to drive.
