Some pics today of the Chevy duo.

[Nine Ball]

I picked up a new toy today, a 1970 Chevelle SS 454. Originally an LS5 360hp car, but non-#'s engine now. Factory cranberry red with saddle interior. Probably won't pro-tour this car, haven't decided.

http://www.ls1tech.com/70Chevelle/70SS16.jpg looks like an old ad!

A couple of my '67 Camaro (I added Corbeau seats, steering wheel, radio, 18" wheels, and a few misc items). Global West A-arms, QA1 coil overs and a new Moser Fab-9 rearend are on the way, so I can lose the 4x4 ride height. Current setup is a 300 rwhp SBC with AFR heads and a T56 6-speed.

Nice x 2. I love Chevelles. My neighbor has almost the same combo in that chevelle. 454 red with black stripes, beautiful. Congrats.



Chris.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

nice!... i hope you got matching shoes to that duo!

loving the 70..

but im glad i sold my 70 chevelle.

[4MuscleMachines]

Love those cars, especially the 1970. It looks just like mine except for the saddle interior. You're going to find it hard not to mod, I lose sleep over thinking about mods since it would be so cool to drop a huge big block in those cars. Congrats (again LOL).

[Ralph LoGrasso]

Very nice!! That 'velle is screaming for some 18x9s up front and 19xWIDE on the rear!

[4FTTY4]

Beautiful cars. I hope mine looks half that good some day. You have a Monte Carlo guage kit though... Did you get build sheet or protect-o-plate that shows its a real SS?

[Nine Ball]

why do you say it is a Monte gauge kit? It is just the base model Chevelle gauge panel. Monte's are wood laminate covered.

[4FTTY4]

SS setups had guages for the volts, fuel, and temp, rather than the idiot lights that the montes had. An LS5 SS car would have had a 5500rpm redline tach in place of the big gas gauge in your car.

Here's an SS kit with a 6500 rpm redline for an LS6

[Nine Ball]

Nick, that gauge panel you show is the optional tach/clock upgrade option. The base model Chevelle SS didn't come with a tach or clock. There are even documented LS6 cars with the same dash panel mine has. Here is more info:

If the optional tach/gauge package was not ordered on the SS, then the SS dash layout would be as follows :

      POD LOCATION       SIZE         CONTENTS
      ------------       ----------   ------------
      center             large        speedometer
      left               large        fuel gauge
      right              large        optional clock
      far left           small        alternator warning light
      far right, upper   small        temperature warning light
      far right, lower   small        oil pressure warning light

From this page: http://www.chevelles.com/shop/ss_ident.html

I also have various photos of other 396ci and 454ci numbers matching cars with the same dash.

[4FTTY4]

Cool, I had no idea that was the case. Guess you learn something new everyday.

[rockdogz]

Nice Tony!
So for the Camaro you're getting a Moser third member and an Alston FAB-9 housing? What ratio?

[Nine Ball]

Tom,

I ordered the Moser "M9" rearend. It is their new sheetmetal 9" rear housing. 3.73 gears. Details/pics here:

[Gordz32]

nice!!! I'm liking that housing too! And another A-body

[956G-Malibu]

MAN your chevelle is beautiful, I took some of your pics so I can make a background for myself, I just picked up a 70 Chevelle myself that I will be restoring, Im going to do it pretty much like yours, like an SS, its sportcoupe, but I want to make it a like SS, I guess a clone, but this is just my own personal favorite.......Chevelles ROCK!!

[protouring70]

Beautiful car Tony. I wish I still had mine. I hope to do another one later. But I have found that if you find one with a nice paint job your better of starting out that way! Just my one opinion.

[MuscleRodz]

Did you ever get the LED issue resolved?

Mike

[Adam_346]

Nice cars , the 70 Chevelles have always been my favorites.
