Collector Worthy Cars: Chevy Chevelle SS
Muscle. Power. Speed. The Chevy Chevelle SS was the ultimate muscle car. It has a proud history and is considered to be one of the defining American muscle cars. In fact, if you visit a classic car auction, chances are that there will be a Chevelle or two standing out among the rest of the vintage rides. Here's a little history on the Chevelle SS and why we at Farm Boy Garage think this is definitely a collector worthy car!
Introduction of the Chevelle SS
Introduced in 1963, the Chevelle had a short-lived production span: 1964-1977. This model was available in many different varieties, including 2-door sports coupes and 4-door wagons, and offered the largest range of trim options from basic to swanky packages from GM. Chevy provided two separate SS options for the 1970 Chevelle, the (Z25) SS 396 option and the (Z15) SS 454 option. The SS 454 or Z15, a mid year option, gave the 1970 Chevelle SS buyer two powerhouse 454 V8s to choose from – the LS5 and LS6. The LS5 454 was rated at 360 horsepower in the 1970 Chevelle SS. This was one of the largest engines ever fitted into a production car.
Fastest Car of it's Time
The Chevelle SS 454 had a four-speed manual transmission, which was heavily sought after for racing. The four speed transmission was great for acceleration, and spaced for the most exciting driving possible. It was also possible to purchase a two stage pulse transmission. The Chevelle was able complete a quarter mile in twelve seconds, which was exceptionally fast for the day. It had a quarter mile trap speed of 112 miles per hour. The Chevelle SS 454 was the fastest American production car at the time of its making.
The 1970 Chevelle SS LS6 was also no slouch around the turns with its heavy duty F41 suspension which not only included heavy duty suspension components but also 14×7 inch wheels and F70x14 tires. The abilities of this ride were extremely impressive when you consider that a LS6 Chevelle SS had a weight of around 4,000 lbs with driver and fuel.
