Tuxedo Black Chevelle SS Is Dressed To Thrill And It Is Selling At No Reserve At Mecum’s Houston Auction

This big-block powered Chevy is ready to be driven!


The 1970s were a great time for GM as they still had a big chunk of the muscle car market on their side. models like the Camaro and Firebird suggested the brand was taking a route more leaning toward Pony cars but there's still one vehicle that was able to keep everyone's attention for just long enough. That automobile was called the Chevrolet Chevelle, a big honking American V8 powered muscle car that is undeniable in terms of performance and style. Now, you might have the chance to own one of Chevy's most iconic examples.

Built-in 1970, this Chevelle SS features a dark black exterior, accented only by chrome trim pieces and two gray racing stripes. Other than those features, he might not expect it to have such performance options as a 3.31 ratio posi-trac rear end or power front disc brakes, something that wasn't commonplace back in the day. These key features made it incredibly fun to drive on the road and many tracks throughout the United States. however, whenever you talk about going fast in one of these bad boys you're probably not only talking about gearing and Brake power.

Rather, this car shows off a 396 cubic inch V8 turbojet engine which has the sheer audacity to make 350 horsepower and a Time when virtually nobody else could. Indeed, there was very little competition for a car like this on the streets which is exactly why they became so ubiquitous in the area. controlling all of that power is a four-speed Muncie manual transmission, the kind of gearbox you might hear an older fellow rave about endlessly due to its responsiveness and engaging style of driving. At the end of the day, what this car comes down to is a perfect example of what makes American muscle car culture special, and you could be its next driver.
