    Muscle Car Of The Week Video #44: 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS6 454 Convertible
    If you were to go buy a brand-new 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, what options would you choose? This week, our featured Muscle Car is a super-clean 1970 Chevelle SS 454 with the 450 HP LS6 V8 backed by a Muncie M22 4-speed transmission. Couple that with a power convertible top, and you've got an awesome ride capable of burning through the first 3 gears while wind-blowing your hair at the same time. There are multiple LS6 Chevelles in the Brothers Collection, but this one is perhaps the most sinister.

    Of course, Charlie Sheen would buy a car with white lines on it.

      In 1960's, 52% of buyers bought GM cars... Govt threatened to break GM up as a monopoly... GM had to build junk in 1970's to get sales down...

      you must have been a super fast dude back then and everyone probably loved to see you go past.

    • @NewtonWashinton
      @NewtonWashinton 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes very true, i had a good time and cared for the car, My friend had a 1969 427 Camaro with 4.11 gears in yellow the only car that ever beat me on the street. I believe my Chevelle was a 3.42 gear.

      i have worked in car restoration factorys and we made a 1952 austin healey with a 302 and top loader 4 wheel discs - was a sports car hot rod.

    • @NewtonWashinton
      @NewtonWashinton 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      very nice, i like all types of cars, my first car was a 1960 Olds Super 88, next was a 1965 Chevelle SS 327, 4 speed, i started working odd jobs at 14 by the time i was 16 i had enough for my car, my dad always told me if you want it earn it.

    Funny thing about the smog pumps is that you can make them pump air into the air cleaner and make it a mini super charger,!!!!2022

    450hp in 1970 ... convertible ... O_O ... most of us can't afford them in 2018(or it's just me?)... imagine those happy faces driving them at that time =)

    • @BuzzLOLOL
      @BuzzLOLOL 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep, just daily drivers back then...

  • @gadourylaw
    @gadourylaw 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Carb was a Holley double pump, dual feed, I believe 850 cfm as he said but it was not a quadrajet. I believe the LS 5 454 which was rated at 365 hp had the quadrajet carb.

    • @ssfouryou
      @ssfouryou 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You are correct

    • @johnsinski5172
      @johnsinski5172 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sorry, but the original Holley was a vacuum secondary with dual feed 780--800 cfm depending on the magazine article.

    • @BuzzLOLOL
      @BuzzLOLOL 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Looking closely can see the Holley front bowl bolts in one scene and Holley dual feed type angled up fuel line coming into the Holley bowl in another scene...

    TA Radials are tired, people need to start putting stock tires on these cars like Firestone Wide Ovals. I did on my 70 SS 396 at it looks and sits a thousand percent better and now you can even get those in a Radial.

    Ls6 did not come with a quadrajet the LS5 did , LS6 came with holley 780

    • @BuzzLOLOL
      @BuzzLOLOL 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Holley can be seen in the video...

  • @DeltaForceSFODD
    @DeltaForceSFODD 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I wonder if Charlie regrets selling it now.

  • @starrqwas
    @starrqwas 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    14 inch wheels not 15 like you said also it should have a Holley carb.

    • @bg147
      @bg147 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I had those wheels on my 1968 Camaro when I was in college. Wonder if they would be worth much today.

    • @BuzzLOLOL
      @BuzzLOLOL 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      15" usually an option...

  • @johnsinski5172
    @johnsinski5172 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    No quadrajet carb. Holley carb with a low rise intake designed to fit under a Corvette hood. Changing to a high rise intake was good for about an immediate 15 horspower.

  • @ericheine2414
    @ericheine2414 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    The cool thing about the 1970 Chevell, was the power and the weight. Under 3200lbs. at over 100mph you didn't feel safe hanging out. The Chevell had a full frame and enough weight to have weight transfer. I drove a Cobra, I prefer the Chevell, better motor management, like a day at the office.

    • @BuzzLOLOL
      @BuzzLOLOL 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Try 3800+ lbs. for a convertible with a 454... and 150 MPH in a Chevelle felt like 35 MPH in a Cobra...

    • @BuzzLOLOL

      LS7 was never an option... only sold over the parts counter...

  • @Samsgarden

  • @rodsapyta7059

    HOW MUCH?? I had hard top one in 1980 but sold it

  • @Joyboy13257
    @Joyboy13257 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    So the SS package (appearance package) could of been ordered with any engine like the Impala? Or was it just for the ad that it had the six cylinder?

    • @markg7030
      @markg7030 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      In 1970 the Chevelle SS could be ordered with a 396 or a 454 big block.The photo was a press release blunder ( no 6 cylinder engine ).
