Carb was a Holley double pump, dual feed, I believe 850 cfm as he said but it was not a quadrajet. I believe the LS 5 454 which was rated at 365 hp had the quadrajet carb.
Looking closely can see the Holley front bowl bolts in one scene and Holley dual feed type angled up fuel line coming into the Holley bowl in another scene...
I did buy a New SS 454 Chevelle, Red with Black Stripes, Black interior M22 rock crusher trans, Strato Bucket seats AM radio, I did not want the conv because it weighed more also No power steering or AC, i wanted nothing taking power from the motor, Loved that car,.... New i paid $4300.00 out the door
Yes very true, i had a good time and cared for the car, My friend had a 1969 427 Camaro with 4.11 gears in yellow the only car that ever beat me on the street. I believe my Chevelle was a 3.42 gear.
very nice, i like all types of cars, my first car was a 1960 Olds Super 88, next was a 1965 Chevelle SS 327, 4 speed, i started working odd jobs at 14 by the time i was 16 i had enough for my car, my dad always told me if you want it earn it.
450hp in 1970 ... convertible ... O_O ... most of us can't afford them in 2018(or it's just me?)... imagine those happy faces driving them at that time =)
TA Radials are tired, people need to start putting stock tires on these cars like Firestone Wide Ovals. I did on my 70 SS 396 at it looks and sits a thousand percent better and now you can even get those in a Radial.
No quadrajet carb. Holley carb with a low rise intake designed to fit under a Corvette hood. Changing to a high rise intake was good for about an immediate 15 horspower.
The cool thing about the 1970 Chevell, was the power and the weight. Under 3200lbs. at over 100mph you didn't feel safe hanging out. The Chevell had a full frame and enough weight to have weight transfer. I drove a Cobra, I prefer the Chevell, better motor management, like a day at the office.
Nothing like a badass chevelle
Wow is that car beautiful what a time to be alive you will never see anything quiet as magical as the old muscle car Era
Rock crusher, 4.10 gears, 450hp ...stud of a car
now this is my kind of chevy
Of course, Charlie Sheen would buy a car with white lines on it.
Funny thing about the smog pumps is that you can make them pump air into the air cleaner and make it a mini super charger,!!!!2022
Never thought Charlie Sheen would be a Chevy fan.
In 1960's, 52% of buyers bought GM cars... Govt threatened to break GM up as a monopoly... GM had to build junk in 1970's to get sales down...
I want that, I can not afford that but I want that. Going to look at a 396/375 convertible in a week or so.

You are correct
Sorry, but the original Holley was a vacuum secondary with dual feed 780--800 cfm depending on the magazine article.

you must have been a super fast dude back then and everyone probably loved to see you go past.

i have worked in car restoration factorys and we made a 1952 austin healey with a 302 and top loader 4 wheel discs - was a sports car hot rod.

Had a 1966 Malibu with the 283 . 4 speed, dual glass packs .. Michelin radials ..no power steering. . no problem. .
Most gorgeous muscle car designed...the Chevelle!

Yep, just daily drivers back then...
The week of the 50th Anniversary of Mustang and we get a Chevy? Kevin you are a GM guy.
I wonder if he picks the car of the week or if the Brother's pick each week.
TA Radials are tired, people need to start putting stock tires on these cars like Firestone Wide Ovals. I did on my 70 SS 396 at it looks and sits a thousand percent better and now you can even get those in a Radial.
Beautiful Kevin
WOW
I'm in love
No quadrajet carb. Holley carb with a low rise intake designed to fit under a Corvette hood. Changing to a high rise intake was good for about an immediate 15 horspower.
I wonder if Charlie regrets selling it now.
instablaster...
14 inch wheels not 15 like you said also it should have a Holley carb.
I had those wheels on my 1968 Camaro when I was in college. Wonder if they would be worth much today.
15" usually an option...
Ls6 did not come with a quadrajet the LS5 did , LS6 came with holley 780
Holley can be seen in the video...

Try 3800+ lbs. for a convertible with a 454... and 150 MPH in a Chevelle felt like 35 MPH in a Cobra...
Better car than the mopar equivalent.
Do you guys have a '72 GTO 455 H.O with a 4 speed?
Yes we do
p/s p/b were standard
...before Sheen sold it for his coke habit.
LS 6 , what about the LS 7 ?
LS7 was never an option... only sold over the parts counter...
Nasty.
So the SS package (appearance package) could of been ordered with any engine like the Impala? Or was it just for the ad that it had the six cylinder?
In 1970 the Chevelle SS could be ordered with a 396 or a 454 big block.The photo was a press release blunder ( no 6 cylinder engine ).
He missed the whole point...In the picture with cars mouth open it had a 6 banger in it to show that it eats 6 bangers for lunch.
HOW MUCH?? I had hard top one in 1980 but sold it
What's the price?
The most beautiful car ever with the ugliest wheels
