Description
THE 1970 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE L78, WITH AN ORIGINAL 4-SPEED AND AN UPGRADED 454 ENGINE, IS A REAL HIGH-PERFORMANCE CAR AND UPGRADED TO A LS6 VERSION.
The History:
The 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle L78 is a highly desirable and iconic muscle car from the golden era of American automobiles. The "L78" designation refers to the high-performance 396 cubic inch (6. 5-liter) V8 engine originally equipped in the Chevelle. This engine was officially rated at 375 horsepower, though it is widely believed to produce even more power than advertised, making it a true powerhouse of its time.
The Car:
This particular Chevelle is Dutch-owned and has been meticulously cared for. It has been driven only in dry weather and has undergone special rust protection treatment, including a full Dinitrol protection spray applied inside the chassis. The car is striking in appearance, with fresh red paint and bold black stripes that accentuate its muscular stance. Under the hood, you'll find a powerful and well-maintained 454 engine, paired with a smooth-shifting 4-speed manual transmission. The interior is exceptionally clean, complementing the car's exterior with a timeless look. The car also features stylish aluminum wheels and front disc brakes for enhanced performance and safety.
The Drivetrain:
The 1970 Chevelle L78 originally came with a 396 engine producing 375 horsepower. Only a limited number were made, and even fewer remain today, making this a rare find. This particular Chevelle is a genuine L78 car, complete with the build sheet to prove its authenticity. To elevate its performance, the car has been upgraded with a 454 engine, tuned to mirror the legendary LS6 version, which boasted 450 horsepower. The transmission has been fully rebuilt, and the 454 engine has been dyno-tuned and locally rebuilt by a specialist to ensure peak performance. The rear axle is equipped with a limited-slip differential and features the correct 12-bolt rear axle, along with real SS-upgraded torque-boxed A-Arms and a sway bar for improved handling.
