Heres a little history of the 1970 Chevelle SS
Prior to 1970, GM had a restriction stating no mid-size car could have an engine with a displacement over 400 cu in (6.6 L). Don Yenko, a Chevy dealer outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, discovered a way to get around that edict. Don used the Central Office Production Order system, which normally filled special-equipment fleet orders, to create a special COPO that included the L72 427 cubic inch 425 425 hp (317 kW) engine and the needed drive train upgrades. A few other dealers ordered the package Yenko created and sold them as their own supercars.
In 1970, GM dropped the displacement rule, and bigger engines became available as regular production options, resulting in the addition of an SS454 option to the existing SS396. The 454 cu in (7.4 L) LS5 V8 was rated at 360 hp (270 kW) (390 hp (290 kW) in Corvettes) and the LS6 at 450 hp (340 kW). The LS6, with 450 hp (340 kW) and 500 ft·lbf (680 N·m) of torque, would provide 1⁄4 mi (400 m) strip performances in the low to mid-13 second range at 105–108 mph (169–174 km/h).
In fact, the stock 450 hp (340 kW) LS6 tied the 1966 Corvette early production 427/450 hp as the highest horsepower engines offered by any manufacturer during the muscle car era.
Heres a great resource for more information about the 1970 Chevelle SS and all the old American Muscle Cars.
