Description

“The performance starts as you’re seated.” The 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle is considered by many to be one of the best-looking muscle cars ever built in Detroit, owing in part to its freshly redesigned sheet metal, which gave the car a more curvaceous and sporting appearance. The second-generation Chevrolet Chevelle offered a powerful punch to back up those good looks. How popular was the ’70 Chevelle SS? For the second year in a row it was Detroit’s most popular Muscle Car, having dethroned the pioneering Pontiac GTO in 1969.  

While the monster SS454 Chevelles grabbed all the headlines, the SS 396 was by far the most popular, striking the right balance between price, performance, and insurance premiums. Known as RPO L34, this option would grant customers a glorious 396 Turbo-Jet V8 along with a slew of Super Sport performance enhancements. But the SS also had a comfortable, good looking interior and smooth, quiet ride. Compared to some of the rough and ready muscle cars of the era, Car Life magazine said glowingly of the 1970 SS 396, “The best-selling Supercar isn't the quickest. But it looks tough. And it’s kind to women and children.”  

This Chevelle was built in Canada, and unlike its US counterpart, GM of Canada retained all of their historic data, making this SS 396 factory documented.
