Car of the Month
1970 454 LS6 Chevelle
In the hierarchy of the street, circa 1970, there were the Big Dogs and then there was everyone else. The name of the game was horsepower. The more grunt the better, and more grunt meant more cubic inches and more horsepower. The old standard “there’s no replacement for displacement” was never more true than in 1970, and sitting atop the muscle car food chain was Chevrolet’s 454 LS6 Chevelle SS.
