If you've done even the slightest bit of homework about Chevy, you'd already know that the Chevelle is one of their greatest nameplates. Designed from 1963 through 77', the mid-sized car was relatively simple and elegant, but that all changed with the introduction of the SS. Short for 'Super Sport,' the Chevelle SS models were taking over the muscle car scene, and one of the most iconic Chevelles to be made is the 1970s redesigned model such as the one in the discussion. This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Pro Touring is a resto-mod that's been brought back to service and is looking for a new owner.
Exterior and Interior
As mentioned, the 1970s redesign was one of the most popular Chevelle's ever. Sheet metal revisions gave the car a "coke bottle" design, which is most noticeable as we look at the car's side profile, and the vehicle's overall stance was more aggressive and sportier. This Winchester Gray example is a perfect representation of a resto-mod, as its paint job, gloss black racing stripes, and chrome accents look as if the car rolled out of the production line just this week. The car sits on a pair of black Weld wheels with a chrome outline wrapped in fresh Yokohama tires. Being a resto-mod, one can count on the fact that this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Pro Touring has an interior that is in impressive condition. The black leather in the cabin looks almost brand new and is a beautiful contrast against the subtle chrome accents present within the cabin itself. Additionally, the car has been fitted with a fuel and boost press gauge as well as a metal frame resembling a roll cage for extra protection.
Engine
Surely no muscle car resto-mod would be complete without the addition of an angry engine threatening to twist its chassis. In this case, the angry engine powering this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle is the fifth generation Chevrolet Performance’s LSX-B15 small block V8 crate engine with a displacement of 6.2L, sending power to the wheels via an automatic transmission.
The 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Convertible is the kind of car that distills the classic American muscle era down to its essentials: big-block power, rear-wheel drive, bold SS styling, and the ability to drop the top and enjoy all of it in the open air. Finished in Cranberry Red over Black, this example has the visual drama to match its mechanical character, with black hood stripes, 15-inch 5-spoke SS wheels, and chrome bumpers giving it the right period stance. Underneath, the 396ci big-block V8 is backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic and a 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gearing, a combination that gives this Chevelle the kind of low-end punch and cruising character enthusiasts associate with Chevrolet’s muscle-car heyday. Power steering, power front disc brakes, and Vintage Air climate control add usability without dulling the experience, making this a car that can be enjoyed for more than just short weekend drives.
The 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Sport Coupe helped establish the formula that would soon define the American muscle-car era, and this example carries that character with a period-style 327ci V8, four-speed manual, and PosiTraction rear end. Showing approximately 86,570 miles, it is finished in black over a Medium Aqua vinyl interior and combines the clean lines of the first-year Chevelle SS with several tasteful performance upgrades. An Edelbrock intake, four-into-one headers, heavy-duty cooling radiator, Hurst shifter, and power-assisted front disc brakes all contribute to a package that feels purpose-built for an enthusiast who appreciates classic V8 power and manual-shift involvement.
American muscle meets modern engineering in this 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Restomod, a professionally built classic that delivers vintage styling with significantly enhanced performance and drivability. Showing 2,836 miles, this Chevelle is finished in Red over a custom Black/Red interior and benefits from a comprehensive build centered around a 383ci Stroker V8, Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, and a custom chassis. With upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, modern interior appointments, and unmistakable SS styling, this Chevelle offers the timeless appeal of one of Chevrolet's most iconic muscle cars while providing a driving experience that is far more refined than stock.
The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the most recognizable American cars ever built, but this example takes the familiar Tri-Five formula and gives it a much stronger performance edge. Showing approximately 8,660 miles, this 2-door sedan restomod pairs the unmistakable ‘57 Bel Air body with a 400ci V8, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, five-speed manual transmission, and a long list of carefully chosen upgrades. Finished in red over a red and black interior, it blends classic Chevrolet styling with modernized drivability through power brakes, aftermarket air conditioning, upgraded instrumentation, and a more performance-focused chassis and exhaust setup.
The 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents the later evolution of the C3, and this example brings a particularly appealing ownership story to the table. Showing approximately 72,741 miles, it is powered by an L48 350ci V8 with a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor and a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Finished in red over a black leather interior, it retains the classic C3 formula with removable T-top roof panels, Rally wheels, 4-wheel power disc brakes, and dual exhaust. Even more notable, the current owner reports that this has been a single-owner car and that they have been the sole driver since new.
The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette marked the end of the C3 era, making it a fitting final chapter for one of the Corvette’s most recognizable generations. This example shows approximately 50,346 miles and pairs its 350ci L83 V8 with Cross-Fire electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in silver with a dark gray lower accent over a light gray leather interior, it carries the unmistakable late-C3 look with removable glass T-tops, factory alloy wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and the model’s sculpted front and rear aero treatment. An aftermarket air conditioning system adds a useful modern touch to a car that still feels very much rooted in the early-1980s Corvette experience.
