The One Owner 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS454 LS6 450HP Barn Find Discovered Neglected for Decades

The 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS454 LS6 was a high-performance version of the Chevelle, a mid-size car produced by Chevrolet. The SS454 LS6 model was powered by a 454-cubic-inch V8 engine that produced an impressive 450 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. This was a car that could go from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 13.2 seconds at 108 mph.

But it wasn’t just the engine that made the 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 so special. The car also featured a number of performance upgrades, including a M22 4.10 transmission that made the most of the engine’s power, as well as a Cowl Induction system that helped to feed cool air directly to the engine. The Tach Gauges were a must-have for any serious driver, as they provided real-time feedback on the engine’s performance and allowed the driver to keep an eye on the car’s vital signs.

Patrick Glenn Nichols Musclecar Barn Finds is behind this video, and today he is bringing us a very nice automobile, a 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 that has been owned by just one person over all these years, which makes it quite rare when it comes to a car that is nearly half a century old.

And then there’s the paint. Black Cherry was a rare color option for the 1970 Chevelle SS, and it’s easy to see why. This rich, deep shade of red is simply stunning, and it looks even better when it’s been preserved for more than 50 years. The fact that this car still wears its original paint is a testament to the care and attention that its original owner gave to it over the years.

Of course, as with any car that’s been around for more than five decades, this 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 has had its share of adventures. It’s been driven on highways and back roads, taken to car shows and drag strips, and undoubtedly been the envy of every muscle car fan who’s seen it. But despite all of that, it’s still in remarkable condition. And now, thanks to the efforts of its current owner, it will soon be back on the streets, ready to continue its legacy as one of the most iconic muscle cars of all time.

The owner promises that pretty soon, this car will be back on the streets where it belongs after all those years of neglect, and all we can say about it is, we can barely wait.
