Monocle's Muscle Car of the Week

Each week we here at MLM will be featuring a different muscle car. We are kicking it off with a favorite of ours.

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454.

1970 was the first year that the Chevelle featured a 454 cubic inch engine. It was the last year to have a total of 4 round headlights, they were ditched in '71. This is the cleanest and meanest of all Chevelles.

Pictured here is the 7.4L, 454 cubic inch engine. There is nothing quite like the sound of a Chevy "Big Block". In 1970 there were 4,475 vehicles with the LS6 version of this engine produced.

 The interior is very sleek. Our favorite color is triple black. There was also a factory option for "swivel bucket seats." The seats actually turn toward the door, which allows you to exit the vehicle in style. This is a must have option for any serious collector. Someone who is more interested in spending their weekends at the track may find it beneficial to swap them out for something like the Sparco R333's.
