ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

COOL.....

Here are some pictures of my recently finished 70 SS-454 Chevelle ,LS-5 M-22 33.1 posi car I purchased the car in Nov of 99 in Harrisburg Pa. Car sold new at Vito Renaldi Chevrolet also in Harrisburg. In 2000 I began a frame off resto that consumed the better part of 4 years. No bolt was left untouched and the car is now better than new. It is documented with 2 build sheets and the POP. All numbers and dates are correct. Car is equipped with LS-5 engine, M-22 trans 331 posi, bucket seats, guages and cowl induction hood The color is a uncommon one...Misty Turquiose.The entire restoration was done in my garage in my backyard. Thanks

ALbert

WOW very nice, Hope my 68 turns out as nice.

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Al,
Again I say you did an excellent job on the car especially considering the area had to work in.

Not too many Code 34 cars.Very Nice. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif
What Plant was it built at,& date?
What is that emblem attached in the lower front right grill?

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Looks like an AACA badge. Nice Chevelle, color looks great with the vinyl top. looks sorta like 1969 Azure Turquoise.

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Kind of refreshing to see a color like that on a 70...very nice.

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Is that color also known as Astro Blue or are they two entirely different colors? Beautiful car you must be very proud.

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Beautiful car and color.

1996Z15 - Yes, they are different colors. Misty Turquoise is code 34 and Astro Blue is code 25 on the cowl tag.

Albert: What is your guess for a 1/4 mile time for your car? Low 14's? I haven't seen any test reports from 1970 where they ran the LS5 in the 1/4 mile.

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Beautiful chevelle, gorgeous and unusual color!

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Gorgeous...LOVE THAT COLOR! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Thanks guys...lots of hard work in that one..I stumbled across it while looking for a LS-6.Fell in love with the color and had to have it. OK now to answer all questions MR70..Baltimore 03C,,and the badge is a AACA senior award won this year at Hershey. SS4real..have not even had the car in 4th gear. SHe is a true trailer queen (for now or until the COPO is done) but the torque from that motor fries those wide ovals at will in first or second gear, so I'll figure at least low 14's if there is any traction. Distributor and carb were done by Jerry Mcniesh and are right on and that helps out alot. Maybe this summer I'll cruise it but for now its my showcar. Glad you all like it.

Very cool car, Al. I love that color and agree that the black top really makes a nice combo with the color and stripes. I really love the non-console interior also.

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Al...You sure do nice work. The car looks excellent.

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Al, I love your Chevelle. It is certainly set apart with that color combination. Very classy car. In the distant background of picture #2, is that your 1968 Chevelle also? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Very very nice car. Love the color.

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

GM 26, thats my neighbors car..completely restored numbers matching 68 SS -396 Chevelle.We were both taking pictures for AACA national awards to send to the awards commitee. We did frame offs at the same time and helped each other as we went along.He painted this car. Debuted the cars at the same shows this summer. Met him 5 years ago on a sunday morning at a red light...me in my 68 SS camaro and him in his 69 SS-396 Camaro..we dragged and have been best of freinds ever since... best part yet..he lives two blocks away. Where else can you find someone to help out at 10PM on a weds night..just a phone calls away .

Gorgeous car Albert! It is refreshing to see such an unusual color for a change https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif I'm sure the COPO will be every bit as nice!

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Too bad pictures always show a car differently than it really is.... this one is so much nicer in person!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Don't cruise it until you get that AACA GRAND NATIONAL Al

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

That is a really outstanding car!!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif
I REALLY like that color. Wonder why everyone didn't get one that color?
It's kinda similar to the Island Teal Metallic on my 68 only a little more green.

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Awesome color combo.

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

My old car I miss it at every red light people would yell to me they love that color , sold it to buy a convertable ls5 project

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Cool! I just ran across this feature car. It really IS a Beauty. And the best part of it is....it's MY car now! I brought it home one week ago - imagine my surprise when I ran across it featured here! VERY COOL! And Albert, I gotta say, you did an absolutely Fantastic job on the resto! Thanks!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Why does it not surprise me that you own it Jacquie? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

We can't do a members rides on it...it's already been done https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

That's ok Bruce, we got it bumped to the top anyway.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Not a car I would have expected to find at a Kruse auction in Tulsa, OK, that's for sure! It was like a magnet, just kept drawing me back 'til I finally gave in. Told myself before we went that I wasn't going to buy anything, just couldn't help it! It's a beauty, the color is mesmerizing and the resto...well, hat's off to Al! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

I remember that '70 from the Mid-Atlantic Chevelle Show in Maryland.

VERY nice '70, congrats on your purchase. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

i'm not really a Chevelle fan but i would proudly own that car.

Re: ALs 70 LS5 Chevelle....and the color is...
 

Probably the most eye appealing color combo. Great car, the longer you look the more you like. Congrats.
