When it comes to the Golden Age of muscle cars, the mighty Chevy Chevelle SS might just be the ultimate factory hot rod. That is why this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Tribute has gone to great lengths to make this car as close to the original as humanly possible. Dual full-length black racing stripes complement the beautiful Cortez Silver exterior, while the hood-pinned cowl hood announces to the world this car is serious about performance.
Inside, we find a well-done black vinyl original-looking interior. The upgraded Dakota Digital gauge cluster appears to be factory-made until it lights up with its cool blue backlighting, showcasing the 8,000 rpm tachometer and 120 mph speedometer. Another sneaky-cool upgrade is the AM/FM radio, which features a digital readout and offers Bluetooth connectivity. A staple-style gear shifter sits in perfect position along the center console.
Under the hood, we find a monster 454 cubic-inch V-8 engine. Feeding that big block is a single four-barrel Holley carburetor that is mounted on a General Motors intake manifold before being sent out through its Hooker long tube headers before a dual exhaust erupts with a sound only a big block can make. That power is sent through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission before heading out to the 12-bolt rear end.
