The 1970 chevelle ss is without a doubt the most popular chevelle around. It was Available in two body styles, 2-door hardtop and convertible. The basic version of the ss came with a 396 cubic inch Turbo-Jet V8 engine. The engine was rated at 350hp, but a performance option of 375hp could be ordered. To transfer power to the rear wheels the ss had a Turbo-Hydramatic 400, or the "Rock-Crusher" four-speed.
