Chevelle SS 454

The Ultimate Expression of Muscle

The 1970 Chevelle SS 454 represents the absolute peak of the muscle car era. This particular example is equipped with the desirable LS5 454 cubic inch V8, rated at 360 horsepower, paired with the close-ratio M21 4-speed manual transmission.

Factory Specifications

This Chevelle left the factory with an impressive list of options:

• LS5 454 V8 (360hp / 500 lb-ft)
• M21 Muncie 4-Speed Close Ratio
• 12-bolt positraction rear axle (3.31 gears)
• F41 sport suspension
• Power steering
• Power front disc brakes
• Bucket seats with console
• SS hood with cowl induction

Condition Assessment

This is a well-documented, numbers-matching example that has been carefully preserved. The Cranberry Red paint is a professional restoration from 2018, applied over a rust-free body.

The black bucket seat interior is a combination of restored original components and high-quality reproduction parts where necessary. The dash, gauges, and console are all original and function correctly.

Mechanical Excellence

The LS5 454 has been properly maintained and runs as it should - strong, smooth, and with plenty of that signature big block torque. The transmission was rebuilt approximately 5,000 miles ago and shifts precisely.

Documentation

The car comes with:

• Protect-O-Plate
• Original window sticker reproduction
• Build sheet copy
• Service records since 2010
• Photographs from previous restoration

This is exactly the kind of Chevelle that serious collectors seek - a matching numbers, well-documented example with great colors and the right equipment.
