The most powerful of the muscle cars produced by Chevrolet during the early muscle car era was the mighty 1970 Chevelle SS454. The engine that was the heart of this car was the largest Chevy made, and produced an underrated 450hp and an astounding 500 lb*ft of torque. To replicate this icon in exquisite detail was our pleasure; equipping it as you would have back in 1970 and then driving it will be your pleasure. Don’t get stuck with someone else’s choices over 40 years ago. Allow BKPE to build you the brand new 1970 Archetype Chevelle SS454 of your dreams with one simple phone call.
