1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible
VIN 135670B120117
What’s special about this listing
The 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle stands as one of the most celebrated pillars of the American muscle car era. Produced during the peak of the second generation on GM’s iconic A-body platform, the 1970 model is widely regarded as the pinnacle of the breed, combining aggressive, coke-bottle styling with serious big-block potential. Described by the seller as a bold American muscle icon finished in a striking red and white exterior with a crisp white leather interior, this coupe presents an aggressive stance that recalls the legend’s original showroom impact.
Key characteristics of this vehicle include:
- Documented 496ci big-block V8 said to deliver 600 horsepower, topped with Holley Sniper EFI and supported by a Holley fuel system, long tube headers, and a custom exhaust
- Rebuilt 4L80E automatic transmission conversion with extensive supporting hardware, backed by an Auburn Grip-N-Loc limited-slip differential, Yukon 12-bolt 3.73 gears, and hardened axles
- Speedtech Track Time coilover suspension paired with Baer 13-inch power disc brakes and a Baer master cylinder for modern road manners and stopping authority
- Red and white presentation over a white leather cabin, accented by Dakota Digital gauges, a Flaming River tilt column, Billet Specialties steering wheel, and factory-style Bluetooth stereo
- Comprehensive supporting invoices documenting attention across the drivetrain, suspension, brakes, interior, electrical, and cooling systems
According to the seller’s documentation, the drivetrain is anchored by a Prestige Motorsports 496ci long block making a claimed 600 horsepower. Supporting upgrades include an aluminum radiator with electric fans, an All American Billet serpentine kit, and a Holley Sniper fuel tank assembly with a 350 LPH pump. The transmission tunnel has been updated to house a rebuilt 4L80E overdrive automatic with a new torque converter, crossmember, driveshaft, and Lokar dipstick. Out back, the 12-bolt rear end has been thoroughly upgraded with an Auburn limited-slip carrier and Yukon 3.73 gearset, giving this Chevelle a performance-minded foundation suited to highway cruises and spirited back-road runs alike.
The chassis and interior have received equally thorough attention. The seller notes a Speedtech coilover suspension system at all four corners, while US Mags Rambler wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires provide a modern performance footprint. Inside, the white leather interior is complemented by Dakota Digital instrumentation, a Holley BIM interface, updated dash components, a B&M shifter, and custom audio upgrades. Market context suggests that well-executed modified 1970 Chevelles typically transact across a wide range depending on component quality and documentation; this example’s extensive build records, premium brake and suspension hardware, and high-end EFI big-block combination place it firmly at the premium end of the turnkey pro-touring segment.
