The Best American Muscle Cars

1970 Chevelle LS6 454

As a unit, the Chevelle was a giant leap forward for Chevy in the 1970s, as it brought their previous models from a family car vibe to a powerhouse in the muscle car era. There are various models available, such as convertible, wagon, and sports sedan, all of which had a new look as a result of newer materials, sheet metal in particular, causing a square-framed muscle car aesthetic. Many versions were popular amongst the masses. However, the SS series was by far the most sought-after Chevy cars produced in the early 1970s. Units were customized and upgraded with perks such as 360 horsepower, V8 engines, dual exhaust, and chrome rear bumpers. The Chevelle LS6 454 is an excellent remnant of the classic muscle era.
