  • I conducted an authentication inspection of this car for a potential buyer of this car that was for sale at Past & Present Classic Cars on Ocoee, FL. The inspection was a success and a purchase was made. The car in question was a beautiful Tuxedo black with black vinyl roof 755 bench seat trim 1970 Chevelle SS396 L34 M21 3.31 posi. Built the 4th week of March 1970 in Baltimore, MD. The car retains its original buildsheet and total matching driveline engine, transmission, and rear axle.

    Awesome 70 Chevelle. My 66 SS 360 horse 4-speed also came with 3:31 gears and no power steering. Truly a pleasure to drive. I love Chevelles. Best cars ever made in my opinion.

    My husband owned a 70 SS 396 4 speed Chevelle, tan and bucket seats. Man what a find and restoration. Original shifter, with the reverse lock with having to turn the steering column that rotated before you could remove the keys! Never thought he would see another like your find, thanks for sharing.

    I'm glad to see the prior owners resisted putting in hood pins and a pop-up cowl induction hood along with the almost ubiquitous SS stripes.

    That was my exact first car I ever owned minus the vinyl top. All black 396 4spd bench seat no cowl induction. Great memories! One thing that stuck out to me was the amount of room around the motor even for a big block.

  • @MikeBrown-ii3pt
    @MikeBrown-ii3pt Před rokem +3

    My absolute favorite is a black on black, no stripe 70 Chevelle! The only things I don't like about this one is the vinyl top and lack of A/C but, I wouldn't kick it out of the garage for those minor issues. Even though I don't mind adjusting valves now and then, the L34(?) 396 or LS5 454 would be my choices for a car that's going to see a lot of use.

      There was a time when they didn't recommend putting a close ratio 4 speed with anything less then 4:11s . The 2 .20 first gear with 3:31s tends to eat clutches , the 2 .54 first gear works much better in my experience.
