This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 sport coupe was refinished in a custom shade of blue with black rally stripes and fitted with a replacement 396ci V8 before the seller’s acquisition in 2021. The car rides on 18″ Foose wheels mounted over four-wheel disc brakes, and power is routed through a four-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end. Further details include a cowl induction hood, locking hood pins, long-tube headers, Flowmaster mufflers, black vinyl bench seats, a Hurst shifter, and a custom audio system with a retro-look digital receiver, an Alpine amplifier, aftermarket speakers, and a JL Audio subwoofer. This Chevelle SS 396 is now offered with a build sheet and a Washington state title in the seller’s name.
The body left the factory finished in Autumn Gold (58) and was repainted in the current shade of blue with black rally stripes under prior ownership. The seller notes that paint protection film has been applied to the body. Exterior details include a cowl induction hood, dual side mirrors, and chrome bumpers.
Foose 18″ wheels are mounted with 245/45 front and 285/40 rear Nitto NT555 G2 tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and the seller tells us that suspension components were replaced under current ownership. Stopping is provided by power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes featuring powder-coated calipers.
The front and rear bench seats are upholstered in black vinyl. Details include a cabin heater, a Hurst shifter, and a retro-style digital radio linked with aftermarket speakers in the doors and rear package tray. An Alpine amplifier and a JL Audio subwoofer are mounted in the trunk.
The car was equipped from the factory with the U14 Special Instrumentation package, and an aftermarket steering wheel has been installed. An oil pressure gauge has been installed below the clock. The five-digit odometer shows 39k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership.
The 396ci V8 was installed under prior ownership, and it is equipped with a polished aluminum intake manifold and a chrome-finished air cleaner lid and valve covers. The seller notes that the engine has been overhauled.
The Muncie four-speed manual transmission is linked to a 12-bolt rear end. Long-tube headers feed a dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers.
