This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS was delivered new to Looney Chevrolet in Kingsport, Tennessee, and was refurbished by Legendary Motorcar Company of Halton Hills, Ontario in 2013. The car is finished in Cranberry Red with white stripes over a red vinyl interior and powered by a numbers-matching 454ci LS6 V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes 14” SS wheels, a cowl induction hood, the F41 Special Performance suspension package, a front bench seat, a Muncie shifter, a Delco AM radio, and a Positraction rear axle.
