This is What a Restored 1970 Chevelle Should Look Like

Restored

This 1970 Chevelle has undergone a restoration and added SS badges, as well as a few more surprises. Anyone thinking of doing a restoration should take note, as this is a car that wouldn't look out of place on a showroom floor.

Engine

Under the hood sits a 6.0-liter LS2 small-block V8 engine. Although it's unknown how much power this particular model produces, you can expect the numbers to be well over 400 horsepower and 400 ft-lb of torque.

Everything You Expect

This car might be 49-years-old, but it comes with many of the features you'd expect to find on a modern automobile. The power front disc brakes will bring everything to a brisk halt, all the while you'll be kept cool by the air conditioning system.

Radiator

The nice extras aren't limited to this car's interior, the previous owner also fitted a 4 core custom radiator. So when this Chevelle's engine hits redline, you know it won't break a sweat.

Spares

Any and all spare parts are generally welcome when you buy a car. So this Chevelle's new owner will be happy to know that it comes with a spare tire and a jack as well. This sleeper Chevelle will be crossing the auction block at Mecum's Dallas sale, which begins September 4th.
