My Hot Rod ! 1970 SS396 CHEVELLE
When I turned 16 years old and was able to drive legally,Some one traded this car into my Dads Chevrolet dealership and somehow I talked him into letting it be My First Car.I had so many great times in this thing.Alot of trouble too with the law but It was worth every minute of it!
The Chevelle SS represented Chevrolets entry into the Hot midsize Muscle car battle.Early 1964 and 1965 Chevelles had a mailbu SS badge on the quarter panels;after 1966,the mailbu badging disappeared except for those sold in Canada
The Chevelle SS was the high performance version and had its own line of engines and performance equipment.The engines availible included a 350,a 396-rated at 325,350 and 375hp and the venerable 454-rated at 390 and 450hp.It was the 454 that made the Chevelle a legend.The LS6,with 450hp and 500ft-lbf of torque would rocket this car through the 1/4 mile in low to mid 13s at 108-110 mph.This is Corvette ZR-1,Ferrari testarossa and Porsche 911 stomping ground.After 1970,the engine ratings went south quickly and 1972 would be the last of the great Chevelle SS models.With the top engine rated at 245 gross horsepower,The 1972 was a good performer,but not legendary.

 kurt , there's an idea , we'll put on our own auction & put Barret Jackson outta business !
