In My Opinion for the 1970 Chevelle SS, today they are all collectable regardless of motor combination as the 70 Chevelle SS is one of the most demanded car in the muscle car industry.
They are getting extremely tough to find in good Quality Original Condition. Yes there are a ton of 396/350 HP L34 cars out there but a lot of them are far from quality original cars. Survivors or very correct 70 SS's now demand a premium no matter what the motor is under the hood. On average you will be looking at many cars before a good one comes up and these cars will only climb in value for the future including the 396/350 HP L34 cars. Believe me they are extremely difficult to find with everything intact. Just my 2 cents.

I would say its hard to say what its value would be, without knowing color, 4spd or not, a look at the paperwork to go with the survivor status.
If its a 4 spd and a cool color, I dont see how you could go wrong in the long term. What little I know about chevelles from friends, it sounds like values have gone down recently, and I always heard there are a lot of fakes out there, that in turned hurt the whole 70 chevelle market. A survivor can rise above all this. I myself passed on a 70 396/350 4 spd car ($8K basket case: clean shell, solid floor, clean frame, correct non original engine, no interior, with build sheet) that was made in plum crazy purple at the factory. Everyone told me I would be upside down on the car, so it got sold to a restoration shop a few months back, after I said nope to a friend. I think I would be into it for an easy $50K or more at the end of the day, non original motor, driver quality restoration that you could have fun with. But man, my daughter would have loved that car when done (even I). So there is a data point for you to consider. I passed on a restored 396 350 car for $50-60K with a lot of restoration stress. But again, I was into this car because of the rare color (and I am more of a mopar guy). Last edited by black69; 08-29-2017 at 03:13 PM. |
