Restored 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle – 502ci Merlin V8, Turbo 400 Auto, Posi 12-Bolt, Emerald Black over White, American Racing Wheels
This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle is a professionally restored and tastefully customized example of the iconic GM A-body muscle car, blending factory SS-style looks with modern upgrades and show-quality attention to detail. Finished in Emerald Black over a white bucket seat interior, the car is powered by a freshly built 502ci World Industries Merlin V8 paired with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission and a 12-bolt posi-traction rear end. Additional highlights include a laser-straight body, stainless dual exhaust, front disc brakes, custom headers, and a Be Cool aluminum radiator with twin electric fans.
This Chevelle rides on a set of polished American Racing wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich rubber, and the engine bay is highly detailed, showcasing the powerplant’s polished components and clean wiring. A full interior restoration complements the performance upgrades, while all-new chrome and stainless trim and a custom sound system round out the build. Just 44,999 miles are shown on the odometer, with three registered owners since new.
