This handsome, well restored, 1970 Chevelle SS 396 convertible is finished beautifully in code 78 Black Cherry paint with white SS stripes and sports the highly desirable, optional ZL2 functional cowl induction hood with hood pins. Standard on the SS396 is a blacked-out grille, wheel-opening moldings, black SS rear bumper insert, five-spoke SS wheels, rectangular dual exhaust outlets and the famous SS badging which are all present on this exceptional example. Originally built at the Van Nuys plant in California and sold at Royal Chevrolet-Buick Co, in Malakoff Texas, this Chevelle SS comes with the original built sheet that documents its authenticity.
The contrasting white interior is nicely enhanced with great factory options that include a center console, bucket seats, power windows, correct SS steering wheel and air conditioning, as well as the optional tach and gauge package. An upgraded retro AM/FM/AUX radio is discreetly installed in the original radio's location without disturbing the originality of the dash.
