What’s new in the Retro-Modern Chevrolet Chevelle SS?
With a limited production run, only 25 units of the retro-modern Chevelle will be made, with each costing well above $150,000. There are a range of options to choose from and aesthetic packages to enhance the design. Beyond its striking exterior, the 70/SS offers a wealth of customization opportunities. With choices such as a removable hard top, exposed carbon fiber accents, and painted graphics, you can tailor the car to your exact desires. Select from a range of wheel options, including 20-inch traditional Rally SS wheels or 5-spoke ones with custom-painted brake calipers and optional color accents.

What’s the price of the Retro-Modern Chevrolet Chevelle SS?
As a limited-edition masterpiece, only 25 units of the 70/SS will be produced, making it an exclusive and coveted collector’s item. Each car can be equipped with either a manual or automatic gearbox, both delivering power to the rear wheels. The suspension offers two packages, including a lowering spring and an upgraded sway bar package. When it comes to American Muscles, we are familiar with incredible power, impressive designs and high price tags but with a starting price of $150,000, the 70/SS offers a modern interpretation of a classic icon, surpassing the performance of its predecessors.
What engine is in the Retro-Modern Chevrolet Chevelle SS?
As expected, the reborn Chevelle SS packs a potent engine that will easily keep up with modern competitors. Even the entry-level variant boasts a formidable 450 horsepower from a 6.2L LT-1 V8, surpassing the performance of some classic 1970 Chevelle models. If you crave more power, you can opt for the upgraded 6.5L, 900-horsepower engine. And for those seeking mind-bending performance, the limited edition LS6/X twin-turbo 454 offers an astonishing 1,500 horsepower that will undoubtedly leave some modern supercars in the dust. It must be noted that the 1,500 hp model is limited to just 25 units. Many people (including us) consider that the 1970 Monte Carlo was a better choice compared to the 1970 Chevelle but with modifications at this level, the Monte doesn’t even stand a chance.
Any Experiments With Design?
Visually reminiscent of its ancestor, the 70/SS retains the unmistakable silhouette of the classic Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport. The sporty stripes that accentuate the car’s sleek lines can also be customized, allowing for a truly bespoke appearance. Other exterior enhancements include the choice between painted or chrome bumpers, along with an array of wheel options, ranging from traditional 20-inch Rally SS wheels to bespoke 5-spoke designs with custom-painted brake calipers.
