Nice Chevelle but I think he's asking too much!It's a buyer's market.

Might be a dumb question, but why would the F70-14 tires be listed as a $100 extra cost item on the (allegedly) original invoice?

Looks like a nice, albeit pricey, car. The tires are worth a lot of $$$$ alone.

Because those are white line tires he upgraded to.
Raised white letter tires were included with the Z-25 option,but if you wanted red line or white line tires,you paid extra.
Paper looks legit to me.

No redlines in 1970 for the Chevelle SS.

White Stripe was a NC option on the Chevelle SS:

Very cool car, with great color combo, great (and many) docs, neat back story, original drivetrain, a real cowl induction car, low miles, 4 speed, original Tiger Paws, etc. Good vibe under the hood. These don't come along too often. In light of the low mile green '70 L34, that sold for purportedly a bunch, I don't think his price is too out of line - all things being considered. a '70 Black Chevelle SS is just killer IMO - huh Dennis?!!!

Any chance the original hood/deck stripes could be salvaged?

I've seen a few SS ElCaminos with white stripe tires but I don't recall ever seeing a Coupe or Convert with them. Pretty Cool Ride !

----My 70 SS El Camino bought at Slaton Chevrolet in 1970 brand new had white stripe tires. Cant remember the brand as they didn't stay on there long enough to register in my 23 year old pea-brain,,,LOL!.......Bill S

Didn't Steve McQueen's '70 El Camino have its original red line tires still in place when it was auctioned a few years back? Or was it restored? Pics had it with red lines
