A restored 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle convertible equipped with big-block power and a four-speed manual transmission has been listed for sale at an asking price of $119,900. The car is presented as a highly desirable example of one of the most sought-after muscle cars from the peak of the era, particularly in convertible form with a large-displacement engine.
Finished in Cranberry Red with black SS-style stripes, the Chevelle features a black interior with bucket seats and a center console. The exterior presentation is matched with SS wheels wrapped in raised white-letter tires, contributing to a period-correct appearance. The car is identified as a convertible with two doors and is described as showing well both inside and out.
Under the hood is a 454-cubic-inch V8 engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Supporting mechanical features include headers, an aluminum intake, an upgraded carburetor, and an HEI distributor. The drivetrain is backed by a 12-bolt positraction rear end. Additional upgrades noted in the listing include power steering, power disc brakes, and an aluminum radiator.
The Chevelle is also equipped with a working cowl induction hood, a gauge pack, LED headlights, and a RetroSound radio. According to the seller, the car runs and drives well and has been restored to deliver a strong combination of performance and presentation. Mileage is listed as zero, a common designation for restored vehicles where original mileage is unknown or no longer applicable.
Big-block Chevrolet Chevelle convertibles from 1970 are widely regarded as some of the hardest muscle cars to find, particularly when equipped with a manual transmission. Their scarcity and strong connection to the height of American performance car production have made them especially attractive to collectors and enthusiasts.
The seller notes that walk-around inspections and test drives can be arranged remotely, and assistance is available for financing and vehicle shipping. Optional upgrades such as air conditioning, suspension components, braking systems, and instrumentation are also offered at additional cost. As with many classic vehicle listings, buyers are advised to verify specifications, condition, and authenticity prior to purchase.
The listing underscores continued demand for restored, high-specification muscle cars that combine rarity, performance, and open-top driving appeal.
