Default Musclecarjohn's Magnificent Chevelle SS454

1970 Chevelle SS-454
This vehicle was purchased three years ago next month from a local car guy who was going through a divorce. He didn’t want to sell it but we all know how that goes…


Original Cranberry Red w/Black stripe car, an original 454 car but currently a NOM car. Has the correct ’70 block in it with a huge hydraulic cam installed by the previous owner. Great torque monster which can boil the hides with the best of them, at least with the little 14” stockers…these Z-rated tires are hard to smoke. It has an M-22 tranny.


Future plans are for a little more motivation (Bill Mitchell 509 Merlin?), further suspension mods and a new, fresh dash which I have. Could completely re-paint the car if I wanted to be fanatical but it is very presentable as it sits, trust me.


Still, this car is a blast to drive and gets your attention (and the attention of everyone else ) every time I drive it. Have wanted a Red SS-454 for as long as I can remember and this one’s not leaving the stable anytime soon

Thanks,

John Lipori
