1/18 ACME 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS6 Convertible (Cortez Silver with Red Interior) Diecast Car Model
At this point, Chevy’s 1970 LS6 Chevelle requires no introduction: with its rectangle-port heads and 2.19/1.88-inch valves, high-lift cam, forged crank and rods, 780-cfm Holley carb, and more, Chevy rated its 454-cube LS6 at an audacious 450 horsepower. Just 4,475 LS6-equipped A-bodies were made for 1970, and they remain the stuff of legend—arguably the pinnacle of the muscle car movement.
It was a well-optioned beast from new. Any LS6 Chevelle required the $503 SS 454 option as well as the $263 LS6 package. Beyond the striking color combination and the TH400 transmission, it had the Cowl Induction hood, a 3.31:1 axle ratio with Posi-traction, power steering, tilt wheel, bucket seats with console, tinted glass, power top, and more, bringing it to nearly a $5,000 MSRP. That’s base Corvette coupe money, for a Chevelle—albeit a Chevelle with an engine that even the Corvette didn’t get that year, and which let the atmosphere hammer your hairline at speed.
