Barn Finder Pat L has referred this 1970 Chevelle to us and I for one say thank you for that. Pat refers to this car as an SS clone and I’m going to write this article straight down the line because there are a number of contradictions attached to what is an otherwise attractive car. Advertised for sale , this Chevelle is located in Perry, Michigan. It has a clean title and the seller has listed it with a price of $22. 500.The first thing that I will say is that I think that this Chevelle is a rather attractive looking car. The Green Mist paint is a rather nice color, and it contrasts nicely with the vinyl top. The seller states that it has traveled a genuine 8. 162 miles but makes no mention of whether they hold any documentary evidence to support this claim. I will say that the external appearance of the car is very good for a car of this age. The paintwork has a rather nice shine to it, and all external trim appears to be complete and in great condition. I can’t see any evidence of ru st, and panel gaps appear to be nice and consistent.Under the hood is the numbers matching 350ci V8. It is backed by an automatic transmission. This engine features cowl induction and is also fitted with air con. I have to say that it all looks rather good under here. It all looks very clean, but I really wish that the photo quality was a bit better. It almost looks like there is some green over-spray on the driver’s side hood hinge, but it may also be a trick of the light. There also appears to be some discoloration of the green paint in the hood opening above the battery. Once again a clearer photo would eliminate any questions here. The other thing that I will say is that while I’m not a native of the USA, I have always understood that in 1970 the terms Chevelle SS and 350ci didn’t belong in the same sentence, but someone please correct me if I’m wrong on that.Okay, I’ve been holding out for this shot because this is where a heap of contradictions come along and hit you right betwee n the eyes. The seller states very clearly in the advertisement, Automatic Transmission, Bucket Seats, Console Shifter. I will say that the interior does appear to be in excellent condition but it is most definitely lacking both bucket seats and a console shifter, so I’m unsure what the story is here.I really like the look of this car. It has a couple of strikes against it when it comes to desirability, the main being that it is a 4-door sedan rather than a 2-door hardtop. Then there is the obvious issue of the contradiction between what the photos show us and what the text of the ad actually says. I’m so confused that I think that I will go and have a lie-down.
