Powertrain

Mechanically, the most impressive thing about this Chevelle is the 454ci engine under its hood which pumps out an eye-watering 450 horsepower. This powerplant was launched in 1970 and was paired with an M22 4-speed manual transmission. Both the engine and the transmission are original with matching numbers.

Handling

This model comes with F41 suspension, so you can expect it to handle that bit better than models with a lighter setup.

Brakes

This is a 49-year-old car but, thankfully, it still comes with power front disc brakes. A good braking system isn't something you can afford to overlook when you've got 450 horsepower under the hood.

Outstanding Hood

Different folks will like various things about this Chevelle. But it's hard to argue that the ZL2 cowl induction hood with a power bulge isn't one of, if not the stand-out feature on this model.
