Don't believe everything you read in books,as Red line tires were entirely possible from the factory on 1970 SS Chevelles or Elcaminos.Albeit they were rare back then,as the RWL was the much more prevalent.There's at least one found documented on paper today.
I think there were a total of 10 sets installed @ the factory,two were G70's,(Elco) & the other 8 were F70's.
Dealers were charging SS owners extra for White stripe & Red line tires back then.I have a Chevrolet edict discussing this somewhere.
Although he's saying it originally came with RWL Uniroyals,his Dealers paperwork says different of charging him $100 more,which was about the upgrade charge for those white stripe tires back then.
I know of at least 3 other 1970 SS Chevelle owners who recently bought vintage Uni's claiming they were original,when they really have no proof,or if they do,haven't shared it.
No SMOG is correct Charley as it was ever installed on the 1970 L-34 Chevelle,only the Solid liftered needed it.
The new for 1970 TCS=Transmission Controlled Spark is why they didn't need it.
This Flint build has Vertical stainless steel trim in the center of the grille.
