Default 70 Chevelle 454 4 speed from back in the day!

Wanted to share pictures of my buddy's Chevelle from back around 1975. Many people don't care for this color but if money allowed I'd own one due to this car.
It was an LS5 4 speed Black bench interior. When my friend bought it the clutch was bad so for a couple of months just limped along. Then it started popping though the carb. and we realized it needed a cam too. I was like 15 or so and my friend 17-18.
He had a local mechanical do a clutch and cam change and boy did this this run!!!
He was slapping anything that came up along side for a while till one




night it was stolen and we found it burnt nearby. I really think he pissed off one to many soar losers!!!

What a clean muscular street look the 70 offers,and a nice lil battle scar above the D/S headlight too.
Looks like code 58 Autumn Gold w/door edge guards.

Must have been a Texas built car with those square cornered stripes.

You got me thinking and for a 6 year old car it was far from perfect but was really sharp in the sun. There was a hand sized dent in the front of the hood in the right stripe if I remember right.
