1970 was the high mark for Chevelles. An 450 HP 454 V8 was available. Never again would this much power be built into these cars. The muscle car era was coming to an end.

Is This The Best Look Chevelle Ever Or What?
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
The 1969 Chevelle looks good and the 1967 Chevelle looks great but the 1970 Chevelle tops them all. A dark blue one with white racing stripes just sets my blood to boiling. Add a black vinyl roof, black interior with bucket seats and a fancy console and perfection is achieved. There were many great looking muscle cars but this has to be one of the top five. It just looks the part.
