In 1970, GM discarded the displacement rule, and larger, faster engines became available as standard production options. The end result was that the addition of a glorious 1970 Chevelle SS 454 engine space option to the current SS 396.

The 1970 Chevelle SS 454 was rated at 270 kW(360 hp), or 290 kW(390 hp) for the more powerful Corvette version. The engine capacity was a staggering 454 cu, (7.4Litres) LS5 coming from a V8 big block engine. The LS6 variants of this enormously powerful engine, fed by a Holley 800 cfm four barrel carburetor, developed 340 kW (450 hp) and 680 Nm (500 ft lbf) of torque.

1970 Chevelle SS

This powerful machine was able to complete a quarter-mile (400 metre) sprint in the low to mid-13 seconds. The top speed of the vehicle 105 to 108 mph (169 – 174 kph), in fact, the LS6 variants were considered along with the 1966 Corvette as the best performance by any engine offered to date, by a manufacturer in the muscle car era. General Motors did offer much more powerful versions, but they were underrated to keep the less savvy buyers from ordering them for illegal street use. Some of the other monster versions offered were the ZL1 and L88 427’s with rates of 320 kW (430 hp) but both of these engines produced well over 373 kW (500 hp) in stock configurations.

These were considered “race only” motors; very few were installed in production vehicles. The majority of orders placed for these engines came from racers that had connections in the production factory or sold over-the-counter spares To the general public. The '70 Chevelle's styling sported bulging fenders which alluded to the power lurking within, while bold, wide SS stripes accented the hood and rear deck. One of the most awesome cars ever to roam the streets, the 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 is truly a legendary American muscle car. This car marked the pinnacle of the muscle car era, when gas prices were of no concern to the owners of 7.4Litre engines.

The 1970 Chevelle 454SS was considered to be the end of the muscle car era due to the “insurance surcharge” nightmare that followed. Many people that bought the car, were not skilled enough to handle the enormous amounts of pure power generated by the 1970 Chevelle SS 454, thus a huge amount of the cars were involved in spectacular crashes. This led to insurance companies upping their premiums on all performance vehicles, The 454 SS was a big block engine and was referred to as the “Heavy Chevy” option.

There were many advancements in this American muscle car and they came to form mainly in road manners and drive-ability. Low-profile tires were offered, replacing the standard two-ply 7.75x14inch rubber withF70x14 nylon belts. This greatly improved steering and maneuverability in the car, as well as improving grip to the tarmac. This improvement also helped achieve the maximum performance from the new disc brake system, available option that was well worth the extra money back then, when one considered the enhanced stopping power developed through easier pedal modulation.

1967 Chevelle SS 396

The new tires were mounted to 14 inch slotted mag wheels. This gave the car a more aggressive stance and an eye catching appeal that swooned even the most hardcore of petrol heads.

The standard transmission used was a three speed manual with a more desirable four-speed available as an option. The two speed "power glide" automatic was, for the first time the three speed "Turbo hydra-matic", a gearbox long awaited by many Chevrolet fans, and was considered a quantum leap over the previous 'power glide' transmission, the new gearbox was noted for its ability to gear down promptly for better overtaking response.

A new energy absorbing steering column and padded instrument panel surface were introduced due to new federal safety regulations. However, the re-invented dashboard still appeared dull when compared to more exciting variations of muscle cars such as the GTO. On the exterior they were minor changes, a reworked bumper and grille and the blackout tail panel. The louvers the hood still remained non-functional. But all in all the car had a more sleeker, aggressive appeal that took the market by storm.

All in all Chevy had made vast improvements in the SS 396 model. When we look at the stats;
There were 63 000 built in total and it would was clocked the quarter mile in 15.3 seconds reaching a speed of 94 MPh. It would also do 0-60 Mph in a very respectable time of 6.5 seconds. All of this at an affordable starting price of $ 2825.00 made this cars popularity boom, with most Americans able to afford it.

Summary of technical specifications

  • wheelbase, inches: 115.0
  • weight, lbs: 3800
  • number built: 63,000
  • base price: $2825
  • top available engine:
  • type: ohv V-8
  • displacement: 396
  • fuel system: 1 x 4bbl
  • compression ratio: 11:1

  • torque: 415@ 3600 rpm
  • performance
  • 0 to 60 mph: 6.5 seconds
  • quarter-mile: 15.3secs @ 94mph

The SS 396’s starting price was comparable to the popular Malibu models offered at the time, and it was affordable. Now anyone who wanted to be part of the muscle car era found that it didn’t hurt their back pocket as much. So began the legacy of the Chevrolet Chevelle 1967 model and it quickly developed a cult following as one of the most important cars in American muscle car history.

The result? A unique look of luxury, paired with fancy features, all of which supplement the incredible performance that leaves coup owners jealous.

2010 Corvette Grand Sport

The 2010 Corvette Grand Sport came in both manual and automatic gear shifts. This high-performance muscle car either comes as a convertible, or has a removable coup roof. The wide stance of this vehicle borrows its same-size Goodyear F1 Supercar tires from the Corvette Z06, along with same chassis and break technologies. 6-piston front and 4-piston rear breaks consist of individual 14” pads – one per piston. It’s currently the best performing in its class, boasting the safest handling and the highest fuel efficiency (16mpg city, 26mpg highway). At an impressive 1g lateral acceleration, the 2010 Corvette Grand Sport will take you from 0 to 60 mph in exactly four seconds, and it’ll come to a half from 60mph in under 110 feet! Those who will want the six-speed automatic gear will also enjoy additional features installed as part of the upgrade: a dry-sump oiling system, a differential cooler, and a rear-mounted battery. If you’re a performance freak, you’ll know that that’s already outperforming the Corvette Z51. At just over 3,200 lbs, it’s not as heavy as other convertibles out on the market.

This year, all Corvettes got a number of interesting features that have not been implemented by the company until 2010. For instance, automatic gear drivers will enjoy the 2010 Grand Sport’s paddle-shift. The Grand Sport will provide you with the best wheel traction, under any conditions, at every moment of your drive, thanks to the launch control system that assesses your asphalt traction 100 times a second, making minor adjustments continuously. This feature came only on manual drive cars, though. The X-shaped exhaust system sounds neat, too – but of course, that’s something you’ve got to hear for yourself.

Love the features? Wait until you experience the speed-sensitive power steering wheel. The very nice thing that a lot of car lovers will appreciate about the 2010 Grand Sport is how affordable it is: you can own one for under $60,000. It’s like driving a 2-passenger, 2-door power plant: with a 430 horse power engine that makes you feel like you have all 8 cylinders pushing the entire 6.2L of raw energy forward, there’s no mistaking the new 2010 Corvette from the other Corvettes on the road.

It’s available in one of eight original Corvette colors and four different trims. The front sides have a shiny horizontal bar that reads “Grand Sport,” with openings for air induction. The 19” wheels come with shiny rims that are sure to WOW spectators from a mile away. Inside, you’ll find a fancy interior with head rests with the authentic Grand Sport embroidery. Don’t go crazy – consider insurance and maintenance costs BEFORE buying the 2010 Corvette Grand Sport!

]]> http://www.classicmusclecarsale.net/chevy-muscle-cars/2010-corvette-grand-sport/feed/ 0 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS http://www.classicmusclecarsale.net/chevy-muscle-cars/1968-chevrolet-camaro-rsss/ http://www.classicmusclecarsale.net/chevy-muscle-cars/1968-chevrolet-camaro-rsss/#comments Fri, 22 Jan 2010 16:41:51 +0000 Larisa M. http://www.classicmusclecarsale.net/?p=214 As we mentioned in our previous article about the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, it was initially introduced in ’67; designed to compete with the Ford Mustang, this compact car rival was based off of the Pontiac Firebird frame. If you know a bit of French, you might recognize the name Camaro as the word for “buddy,” but hardcore American muscle cars fans will tell you that the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is Mustang’s nightmare.

This model was built during four stages: the first generation (67-69), the second generation (72-81), the third generation (82-92), and the fourth generation (93-02). Likewise, the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro was made available in two versions. The RS (Rally Sport) was just an aesthetic upgrade from the regular Camaro. So was the SS (Super Sport), with the exception of extra performance upgrades.

1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS

There were 41,000 makes of the 1968 Chevy Camaro RS, and only 28,000 makes of the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS edition. A fresh air intake system, dubbed Astro Ventilation, was introduced this year. Divided tail lights in the back were all-new; other cosmetic modifications included a pointed front grill, side lights on the fender in the front, as well as a front spoiler. Chrome hood inserts were native to the SS version. Front headlights changed from oval to circle lights. The SS featured a 396 cu. in. 350 horsepower big-block engine. Staggered shocks also helped solve issues associated with wheel hops.

Below are all engine options that were available on the 1968 Chevy Camaro:

  • 230ci. L6 / 140HP 1BC
  • 250ci. L6 / 155HP 1BC
  • 302ci. V8 / 290HP 2BC
  • 327ci. V8 / 210HP 2BC
  • 327ci. V8 / 275HP 4BC
  • 350ci. V8 / 295HP 4BC
  • 396ci. V8 / 325HP 4BC
  • 396ci. V8 / 350HP 4BC
  • 396ci. V8 / 375HP 4BC
  • 396ci. V8 / 375HP 4BC Aluminum Heads

A Powerglide automatic gear, also called Torque Drive, was a manual transmission that wasn't introduced until year 1968. Also for an additional price, you could opt in for an AM/FM radio, air conditioning when available (impossible for big-block engines due to not having enough space), and other nice features, such as: folding rear seats, cruise control (available on V8 models only), bucket seats, dual exhaust system, and more.

The non-rally sport version of the car was rebuilt with a distinct center split, with backup lights installed within the standard taillight bezels. If you wanted four-wheel disc brakes, the dealership could install them for you; they were not a Chevy upgrade option. The 1968 Chevrolet Camaro pioneered the term “tick-tock-tach,” when an optional upgrade for the car included a clock (not available on standard models) built into the tachometer.

An even higher-class version, called the Z28, came out with bigger engines than the RS or SS, but there were less Z28s made than RSs or SSs. The 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 had an optional fiberglass spoiler, and a lot of models that are still in good shape have it.

This muscle car carries on the family legacy of the Chevy brand, dating all the way back to the sixties. Designed to compete with Ford’s newest Mustang, it resembles the Pontiac G8’s look to a certain extent; it’s a true American muscle car. Check out the impressive specifications below:

2010 Chevrolet Camaro

  • 2-door coupe OR 2-door convertible models
  • V6, 3.6L engine running at 300 horse powers OR V8, whopping 6.2L engine
  • LS, LT or SS models
  • Manual or automatic transmission available for V6
  • SS model with a manual transmission with the V8 gets up to 422 horse powers
  • Cylinder deactivation made possible with the GM Active Fuel Management
  • ABS, Traction Control, front-side and curtain-side airbags, Anti-Skid available as safety features
  • Wireless cellular link for cell phones
  • Satellite radio option, USB port, remote engine start
  • Rear-obstacle detection system

What’s new about the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro? One, it utilizes GM’s new global rear-wheel-drive architecture, which means improved handling. Two, all 2010 Chevrolet Camaro models and the powertrain combinations come with 6-speed transmissions that keep fuel economy in mind: this car does 23 miles per gallon on highways. Three, the 2010 Chevy Camaro features direct injection in addition to the Active Fuel Management system to keep the engine running efficiently, yet delivering the true American muscle car experience to the driver.

Design-wise, there’s no arguing that the Camaro came a long way since its introduction in the late sixties. There’s the definitive “wings” on the side (that sort of look like fish gills) that make your 2010 Chevrolet Camaro noticeable from a mile away. The back is brand new, with broad “shoulders” at the rear bumper. The V-shaped front is very sporty looking, contributing to Chevy’s exquisite taste in muscle car design.

Even on the inside, the Camaro doesn’t disappoint; this 2010 model boasts a rich interior. Big, chrome control buttons and non-glossy surfaces resemble a wealthy look. The car doesn’t feel “cheap” like the competing Mazdas do. LED back-lights are bright and crisp, and the center console resembles that of Chevy Camaro’s original predecessors, yet at the same time this monster muscle car challenges its predecessors in overall delivery.

The 1973 Chevy El Camino was one of their muscle cars that was oblivious to Ford’s success with their lineup of high power vehicles. It was a competitive brand name that was appealing to car-buyers because of its performance/price ratio; the Chevy El Camino certainly made history.

1973 Chevrolet El Camino

The 1973 Chevrolet El Camino was equipped with a V8, 245 horse power engine (at 4000RPM). They made under 65,000 of them, making this model way rarer than their predecessors. The Chevy El Camino lineup actually started in 1959, with the first edition featuring an Impala-like design. It was the old-school pickup truck: half-car, half-flatbed; although it didn’t survive past 1960, it re-emerged four years later as the Chevy Chevelle. The 1960 Chevrolet El Camino had a makeover, but it still resembled the Impala a lot. In 1965, when the brand re-emerged, the car came standard with a 250 horse power engine, which could be upgraded to 350 horse powers for just another $200. The 1966 version saw two additional 327 power options; although Chevy Chevelle came with a 375hp option, this was not the case for the El Camino. Special consoles could be ordered upon request.

This American muscle car boasted two calibrated springs designed to support two shock springs at each wheel. In 1967, besides the air-adjustable shock absorbers, not much changed about the Chevrolet El Camino besides the exterior design. Skipping a few years ahead, the 1970 Chevy El Camino came with support for 454 engines, capable of cranking out up to 450 horse powers with optional upgrades.

So, as you can see, the 1973 Chevrolet El Camino underwent major changes, as well as many power performance upgrades and optional functionality for those who wanted to spend a little extra to get the best of the best. The 1970 model could zoom through a quarter mile in 13.44 seconds at 108.17 mph. The 1973 model improved upon that even more. Also, the 1973 Chevy El Camino sported single headlights rather than double headlights like its predecessors. This American muscle car also came with a new grille, an increased length, and bumper-positioned turning lights. Although it could no longer fit as much stuff inside, the newer curved design was a hit upon its introduction on the market in 1973.

The Chevy Bel-Air, of course, has a lot of history about it that spans 3 decades. Throughout the fifties, the sixties and the seventies, The 1962 Chevrolet Bel-Air was the last year that Chevy produced this hard-top model.

1962 Chevy Bel-Air

This 4-speed manual transmission racing car delivers a beastly 409 horse powers; a true monster on the drag race course. Either a two- or a four-door sedan, the 1962 Chevy Bel-Air was available as a sports coupe, a convertible coupe, or sedan. It’s a comfortable ride with a number of additional perks that competing vehicles of the early 60s did not offer. These features included:

  • One-piece windshield that was curved for better clarity
  • Additional styling options
  • 115-inch wheelbase
  • Plenty of room for passengers inside
  • Massive luggage space

The earlier 1956 Chevy Bel-Air model came in V8, and was affordable with all the features you wanted, for under $3,000. Just a year later, this model became bigger in size, and it got an upgraded grille for a nicer look. Dual exhausts and the V8 engine delivered a great-sounding, smooth ride. Extra options for the 1957 Chevy Bel-Air included:

  • Improved, two-tone interior design
  • Automatically convertible top
  • Tinted windows
  • Safety seat belts (which were an innovation in late 50s)
  • Ventilated seats for more comfortable riding
  • Shoulder harness and tissue holder

1958 came around, and the Chevy Impala became Chevrolet’s top-notch model, putting the Chevy Bel-Air down a bit. By 1964, it lost its reputation as a hardcore racing muscle car, and became more of a mid-class, average driving vehicle. Only 365,000 of them were made, which makes today’s survivors a pricey antique.

The 1962 Chevy Bel-Air featured:

  • Power steering
  • Vintage air
  • Disc brakes
  • 12-pt chrome molly cage
  • Mileage: 14mpg, max. RPM is 7,000

Also known as the “bubbletop,” the 1962 Chevrolet Bel-Air was assembled in Los Angeles and it was powered by a power glide transmission. It’s extremely rare on the East Coast; car actions rarely have this model, and it seldom sells for under $20,000. The history of this vehicle, as well as its performance, is what makes it worth it – especially if you’re lucky to find one of these true American muscle cars in excellent condition.
