1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Matching numbers 396 motor 4 speed manual Muncie transmission 331 posi rear end Original build sheet, True SS car!! Frame off restoration Finished in its correct Code 75 Cranberry Red paint with the correct OEM white stripes, this 1970 Chevelle SS 396 was treated to a frame-off restoration and features a matching-numbers drivetrain. The rebuilt L34 396/350 HP Code CTX V-8 has been dyno-tested at 375 HP and 475 lb-ft of torque, and it�s teamed with a numbers matching M20 Muncie 4-speed transmission and Hurst floor shifter. It also has the Optional 12 bolt 3:31 Posi traction rear end code CCF, F41 spec perf suspension, and power front disc brakes. Inside, the Chevelle SS still features its mostly original, white, bench-seat interior, augmented with new, correct black carpeting. Contrary to popular belief, the Chevelle SS did not come standard with bucket seats, a console or auxiliary gauge clusters; all were optional equipment. The base seating was a cloth and vinyl upholstered bench seat, though all-vinyl was also available, like how this car is equipped. Other features include power steering and brakes, an AM/FM radio(non-working) and under dash gauges. It also boasts the desirable ZL2 cowl induction hood and 5-spoke SS wheels, and BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. The 1970 Chevelle SS remains as one of the icons of the muscle car era, available in both hardtop coupe and convertible body styles on the Malibu series. Early 1970 Chevelles were available with either of two versions of the 396, with 350 and 375 HP ratings, or the larger LS5 454 CI V-8. The top-of-the-line LS6 454 came later in the year and replaced the L78 396/375 HP V-8. Interestingly, the 1970 396 engine did not actually displace 396 CI. A .030-inch overbore upped the total displacement to 402 CI. This was done to ease emission compliance for this engine, as different standards were set for engines above 400 CI. Since the 396 had such strong brand equity, the larger engine was still referred to as such. This particular Chevelle L34 SS396 still has its original build sheet, which comes with the car. This car represents a great opportunity to acquire a quality, restored example with a matching-numbers drivetrain and build sheet.

What began as a used car store in the 1970’s soon blossomed into one of the premier classic car dealerships in the country with a showroom boasting more than 25,000 square feet. During that time, celebrities, professional athletes, movie stars and prominent businessmen were highlighting the Duffy’s satisfied customer list. That company, founded on solid Midwest values and work ethic, would become the model for what all future classic and specialty car dealerships would emulate. The “new” Duffy’s is now home to more than 60 vehicles in the same glorious showroom that brought them prominence from the 1980’s through the early 21st century. A full service automotive and detailing department meticulously tends to each vehicle ensuring a fun, sound investment opportunity for its owner.
Turn the clock to today a resurgence of that historic Duffy’s brand. Classic Enterprises that became a descendant business, realized the value of the original Duffy’s recognition and reputation. When the old name became available we jumped on it. The name, the logo and the commitment to excellence have now been resurrected and have replaced the Classic Enterprises moniker. In addition, two of the “old school” members of the original Duffy’s management team are leading the company transition along with a full sales and service staff.
While the definition of a “classic” vehicle may have changed over the years that same,” Old School” Duffy’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has not.
