Default Stance

Hi all, long time reader of this site, first post. Don't beat me up too bad! This is my high school sweetheart, had it since 1989. Still has the original coil springs. Not sure if it will post.

That car has an impressive stance for a 51 year old car on original springs. How many miles does it have? Would like to hear more about your Chevelle. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the kind words guys. The knowledge on this site is 2nd to none. My 70 has 165,000 original miles on it, born with L34, T400, and 12 bolt posi. All have been rebuilt. Has the original green door panels, back seat and package tray, from 1970. All in excellent condition. The bucket seats, carpet, and head liner have been replaced. Build sheet was found glued on drivers door panel, and a GM Transit card was found under the carpet. Crazy thing is OO ordered this car gold with black interior from Wagner Chevrolet in Petersburg, WV per the original order form I have. While waiting he visited a chevy dealer in another town that had a green on green 70 SS 396 Chevelle on the showroom floor that he fell in love with. OO went back to Wagner and wanted to change the color to green on green. Dealer called Chevrolet and informed OO that the car was so far "down the line", they didn't know what color it was gonna be until it came in on the transporter. Kind of a neat aspect with paperwork to back it up.
Thanks again
Mitchell

I didn’t think stance would be possible on a “bowl-mobile” but damned if this one doesn’t have it...

Wheels might be too modern for this site, but I’ll post anyway. Cragars and Torque Thrusts would look great too IMO.
