1970 Chevelle SS 454 Big-Block Chevy
Imagine putting a 1970 Chevelle SS big-block Chevy in your garage. This one has been endowed with the torquey-yet-sophisticated LS-5 454 engine. The LS-5 engine, unleashed in 1970 as a hot new version for a big-block Chevy, was engineered to be a powerhouse with a rating of 360 horsepower and an astonishing 500 lb-ft of torque. The LS-5 stood as the highest-horsepower big-block available in the Chevelle Super Sport when paired with factory air conditioning.
This 1970 Chevelle SS454 features the largest big-block Chevy engine you could get with air conditioning. The car also has power steering and brakes to make your high-torque ride more comfortable.
The LS5 Chevelle SS454 became the preference of many new car buyers, choosing it over the LS6 for the perfect blend of power and comfort. This Chevelle is nicely optioned with the LS5 454 cubic-inch V-8; a column-shifted Turbo 400 transmission, Positraction, air conditioning, and a cowl induction hood.
The big-block Camaro SS396 has been updated with a bevy of go-fast goodies but retains all that iconic classic Chevy styling.
1969 Big-Block Camaro SS
These high-horsepower L78 (396 cubic-inch) big-block Camaros were crafted to dominate the boulevards across America. This 1969 Camaro SS396 stands tall among them, showcasing a mind-blowing rebuild with its astonishingly low 14,000 original miles. The Camaro’s big-block was dyno-tested at nearly 500 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The car comes with dyno sheets and other documentation for the winner. There’s also the exceptional houndstooth interior, center console with console-mounted gauge package, and horseshoe floor shifter to wrap you in a pure ‘60s Chevy vibe as you drive.
The 396 cubic-inch engine under the hood has been upgraded with aluminum heads, headers, and several other upgrades that bring its output well over what it had from the factory. Gauges inside the console keep tabs on its operation and share space with that cool horseshoe shifter.
