Looks like a good driver, but first you would need to yank out the big block & sell it. Put in a targetmaster 350, add a wing, 25" rims, gold kit & new paint.
Only then would you have a cool ride that's actually worth something.

Re: is this real ?? (Summerfun)
I would expect a car like that(even if 100% true & real)would be sitting in a Chevy showroom or Classic car showroom. A true "26" mile car MAY NOT even be practically driveable anymore due to seals, brakes, etc. BUT THIS CAR IS SITTING OUT IN A FIELD WHERE THEY TOOK THE PICS :eek:
Yeah, like your just "going to drive" a 26 mile 34yr old car out for pics :skep: :bs

Look dudes these are jokes. A bunch of guys chiped in .50 cents each to place the add and a bunch more are bidding on it. Who in the F would bid that kind of scratch and not seing the car.

Re: is this real ?? (Nowhere Man)
Somebody painted the aluminum heads Chevy orange!!! They must have done that when the car was body off restored at 20 miles!!
....Load of BS :bs :_dupe: :rolleyes:
The things kids'll do with repop stickers these days. I think the seller got all his high school buddies to run the bidding up.

Re: is this real ?? (neverendingproject)
Could be... I've always wanted one of these or the El Camino(or both!!!). But I want one of every model of muscle car of this era! I would want to drive it often and hard. Below is from a Chevelle site.
"There were two engines available for the '70 SS-454 : the 360 horsepower "LS5" and the 450 horsepower "LS6". The '70 LS5 Chevelle is actually rarer than the '70 LS6 Chevelle. The LS6 was only available in the '70 Chevelle, the '70 El Camino, and the '71 Corvette. It was never installed by the factory in *any* other cars. The '70 LS5 motor used in the Corvette was identical to the Chevelle LS5, but rated at 390 horsepower in the Corvette. There is purported to be one known genuine LS6 Chevelle with the L89 aluminum head option."
1970 SS Production Numbers:
RPO Z25 (SS 396), coupes, convertibles, & El Caminos 53,599
RPO Z1 5 (SS 454), coupes, convertibles, & El Caminos 8,773
Total Super Sports, all engines 62,372
RPO L34 (350hp) 396 V-8 51,437
RPO L78 (375hp) 396 V-8 2,144
RPO L89 (aluminum heads for L78) 18
RPO M22 four-speed transmission 5,410
RPO LS5 (360hp 454) 4,298
RPO LS6 (450hp 454) 4,475

Re: is this real ?? (Nowhere Man)
I like the '69 better :D
I was almost going to bid on it though until I went to the payment calculator, with $35,000 down the payments are $6000 a month for 5 years :lol:

Re: is this real ?? (MotorHead)
LS6 motors in 1970 Chevelles had IRON heads not aluminum! I wonder how much the 1971 ZR-2 LS-6 Vette across the bay from me is worth? There were only 8 of those made and they're WAY better to drive than that passenger car! I think every car is appreciating but my 72 LT-1! I guess I'll just have to modify it more than it has been! The person bidding on the car my never actually buy it, I have had people flake on my Ebay auto auctions and the problem is they can just re-register under another name and do it again! I know a guy with a disassembled LS-6 Chevelle sitting in the attic of his shop, I guess he firgures his is worth $100K now (I know what you are thinking but, he has a forklift and it was easy for him to get it up there.)
