1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Sport Coupe

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

“The performance starts as you’re seated,” Chevrolet said of its 1970 Chevelle, which 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 SS 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 SS396 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. Take in the popular Forest Green exterior with White Sport Stripes, slip into the Black vinyl bucket seat interior — the performance is about to begin.
