Great video. My older brother had a beefed up 400 automatic trans black with white strips 70 SS Chevelle. It was set up for the quarter mile with 4-88 rear end gear. 472 open chambered roller bearing cam, dual point set up with a single 950 holey carb and long tube headers. With that set up at Lapeer Dragway in Michigan it would run consistent 11.40's. With the staggered dual quad set up it would run 10.70's consistently with slicks of course. That was in 1970-72. I was 16 in 1970 and while cruising Woodward Ave on warm summer nights it was such a thrill to ride with my older brother especially when someone was brave enough to race, usually from a roll of about 15 miles an hour. When the Chevelle hit second gear no one was able to stay close. The torque of that big block was incredible. My brother told me the closest race he had on Woodward was a Baldwin Motion 70 454 Camaro that stayed close but not close enough to pass him. I wasn't with him that night; I wish I would have been. Those were some great times. Listening to your powerful Chevelle took me back in time to those warm summer nights on Woodward Ave. Thanks for sharing. Oh yes, my brother had a close friend with a 1970 Yenko Duece LT1 350 Nova that was a blast to cruse Woodward Ave as well. That was 1970-72 as well. One night I was with him when he raced a brand new 70 426 Hemi Challenger. It was purple with a white vinal top. Beautiful car. They raced three times each time from a standing start. Very close race, but the Yenko Duece won each race by about half a car. That Nova was hard to beat off the line. You could mat it and it launched hard with very little wheel spin. It had a three-speed automatic with a his and hers Hurst shifter. It was also geared for the quarter mile with 4.10 rear end gear with Posi Traction. He should have kept that car and restored it. If we only knew then what we know now. Once again, thanks for the fantastic sounds of your 70 SS Chevelle.
