Chevy Impala SS For Sale
Looking for that Bad Ass Chevy Impala SS to cruise the streets in? This has to be one of Chevys best looking cars for many years and the name still lives on today. The Chevy Impala became the best-selling automobile in the United States when full size models dominated the market and competed against the Ford Galaxie 500 and the Plymouth Fury.

Chevy Impala SS For Sale
After reaching its sales peak, Chevrolet introduced the Caprice in 1965. The Impala was then positioned down one trim level but still above the economical models Bel Air and Biscayne, and remained the most popular full size Chevrolet model through the mid-eighties. The Impala, named after the southern African antelope, is most readily distinguished by having three sets of taillights featured for many years. The Impala SS nameplate was introduced in 1961 and continued through 1969; was revived in 1994 through 1996, and revived again for the 2004-2009 model years. The Impala nameplate is currently being used for the front-wheel-drive model since 2000.

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.

Concerned with the runaway success of the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet executives realized that their compact sporty car, the Corvair, would not be able to generate the sales volume of the Mustang due to its rear-engine design, as well as declining sales. The first-generation Camaro debuted in September 1966, for the 1967 model year, up to 1969 on a new rear-wheel drive GM F-body platform and was available as a 2-door, 2+2 seating, coupe or convertible with a choice of 250 cu in (4.1 L) inline-6 and 302 cu in (4.9 L), 307 cu in (5.0 L), 327 cu in (5.4 L), 350 cu in (5.7 L), or 396 cu in (6.5 L) V8 powerplants.

The Camaro was touted as having the same conventional rear-drive, front-engine configuration as Mustang and Chevy II Nova. In addition, the Camaro was designed to fit a variety of power plants in the engine bay. The first-generation Camaro would last until the 1969 model year and would eventually inspire the design of the new retro fifth-generation Camaro.
