This authentic matching-numbers 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Convertible “L34” is a rare and exceptional find, representing a limited-production run of one of the most desirable American muscle cars ever built. Certified by Chevelle expert Chris White, this vehicle retains its original Build Sheet, VIN tag, Trim tag, and all major drivetrain components. With approximately 47,000 original miles, this Chevelle stands as a benchmark of authenticity for the true collector.
### Mechanicals
At its core, this SS is powered by its original matching-numbers L34 396ci/350hp V8 engine. The engine has been well-maintained and refreshed with new seals, gaskets, and external components to ensure optimal performance. Power is transferred through the original matching-numbers Muncie M20 wide-ratio 4-speed manual transmission, featuring a refreshed Centerforce clutch, and a 12-bolt Posi-traction rear end with 3.31 gears. The chassis is equipped with the F41 Special Performance Suspension package, providing the handling characteristics that made the Chevelle a true driver’s car, supported by power steering and power disc brakes.
### Exterior
The vehicle is finished in its original and iconic Fathom Blue with classic white racing stripes. The body retains its original sheet metal and exhibits excellent panel fitment. The exterior was meticulously detailed to ensure a show-quality finish. It features a power-operated white convertible top, Super Sport wheels wrapped in period-correct Firestone Wide Oval tires, and expertly re-chromed trim and bumpers that highlight the car’s aggressive stance.
### Interior
The cabin is finished in a striking and seldom-seen Metallic Medium Blue, providing a unique contrast to the exterior. The interior has been professionally restored, featuring comfortable bench seating, a center console, and a Hurst shifter. The dashboard houses a restored instrument cluster with a quartz-converted clock, alongside the factory Delco AM/FM radio. Every element, from the window rollers to the steering wheel, has been restored or replaced to maintain factory-correct operation and aesthetic.
