⚙️ Powertrain & Performance
This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 502 is a Kansas City / Leeds-built L-code example, believed to be a genuine SS rather than a clone or tribute. It underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2005 and has been with its current owner since 2006, who has added approximately 5,000 miles in fair weather driving.
Power comes from a GM crate 502ci big-block V8, factory-rated at around 450 horsepower, paired with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission and a 3.07 Positraction rear end. Performance upgrades include:
-
Holley four-barrel carburetor
-
Long-tube headers
-
3-inch dual exhaust system
-
Functional cowl induction hood
The result is a brutally strong, torque-rich powertrain that delivers the unmistakable big-block experience — raw, responsive, and endlessly satisfying.
🛞 Chassis & Mechanical
During the restoration, the suspension and brakes were fully rebuilt, giving the car solid road manners and confident braking. Power steering and power brakes ensure drivability, while the factory-style A/C system remains operational — a rare and desirable feature in a high-horsepower muscle car.
🖤 Exterior
The Chevelle was refinished in PPG black with dual red stripes, a striking and period-correct combination that accentuates its muscular lines. The restoration also included:
-
New moldings and trim
-
Re-chromed bumpers
-
New front and rear glass
The paint remains in very nice condition overall, with only minor flaws consistent with age and use. The car presents exceptionally well — aggressive, clean, and unmistakably iconic.
🪑 Interior
The cabin was fully restored during the 2005 refurbishment and retains the classic SS look with modernized comfort. Features include:
-
New seat upholstery and carpeting
-
Factory-style steering wheel and dash
-
Working air conditioning
-
Functional gauges and controls
Everything inside reflects a respectful restoration that balances authenticity with usability.
🏁 Ownership & Condition
This Chevelle has been garage-kept as part of a private collection and has been driven regularly in good weather to maintain mechanical integrity. The restoration has aged gracefully, and the car remains in excellent driver-quality condition with strong mechanicals and show-worthy presentation.
