'70 Chevelle SS454, LS5/4-sp, No Docs but Nice
Beautiful restoration - with extraordinarily strong bidding (IMO) for a car that's NOM and has no docs....
I love the LS5/4-speed/AC combination but without docs or original drivetrain, this car could have been ordered as any V8 136xx Chevelle from the factory. It's interesting to see this car being bid so high - makes me wonder how important pedigree is to the 'average' guy looking for a nice '70. Just some late-night thoughts...I had better go to bed! Link to 1970 Chevelle auction |

I'm an average guy and I have always wanted a '70 Chevelle SS. If the original drivetrain is gone it might as well be a "clone" IMHO. Just give me a copycat Malibu with a hot BB and a 5 or 6 speed. Gotta have that ZL2 hood too. I won't pay extra money because of what a car used to be. |

I'm no expert but when I see the Chinese boosters, incorrectly restored and/or reproduction dashes, and what appears to be a parts catalogue type restoration I see those as potential red flags. Certainly a good looking car that will probably be bought by a "non-car" guy looking for shiny paint that most will see as a perfect show car when going down the road. The flip side even if it is a clone is that you could not buy and "restore " the car for the current bid price...…….

Don't let Mikey see that booster, Rick will probably be annoyed by that cowl gasket, and the gap on the Driver's side door leading edge will probably drive a few of our more talented body men crazy......

When Lynn sees this auction he may find some annoying phrasing as well!
