Product Details Temp out of stock
With a sticker price around $3,700 and all-new sleek styling in '68, the Chevelle outsold every other high performance muscle car in the late 60s. The base 396 Turbo-Jet V-8 boasted 325 hp. Another $105 bought the L34 engine with 350 hp. The ultimate power plant option was the L78 that included solid lifters, big-port heads, Holley four-barrell carbs and a low-rise aluminum manifold - all for an additional $237. The Chevelle truly was a muscle car for the masses with 62,785 SS396 models sold in 1968!

The Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 of 1970 produced 450 horsepower in LS6 form — making it one of the most powerful production cars of the muscle car era. The Chevelle nameplate ran from 1964 to 1977, with the 1969–1972 period considered the performance peak. The 1970 LS6 Chevelle is considered by many collectors to be the ultimate expression of the American muscle car.
