1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Hardtop SS 454 LS6 Automatic 454ci 450hp V8

The highest powered Chevelle model, and the only production GM car to have a higher horsepower rating than the Corvette, was the limited production 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 LS6 model. This specialty Chevelle was only produced for one year with large rectangular port heads, high rise aluminum intake, Holley carburetor, solid-lifter camshaft, and higher compression at 11.25:1. Buying one of these impressive Chevelles meant the customer also had to purchase the mandatory SS454 package which included engine accents & SS fender emblems, black dash with round dial gauges with SS steering wheel, dual exhaust with twin rectangular tips, blacked out grille, wheel opening moldings, power front disc brakes, special performance suspension and F70 x 14 tires on 5-spoke 7" wide sport wheels.
