1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Automatic transmission went out at 70k miles (too much hot-rodding). Timing chain slipped at 120k miles & had to rebuild.
General comments?
I built this engine up a bit (410hp now - very mean) & has some overheating problems. Has drum brakes all the way around & does not stop on a dime. Handles better since I added anti-sway bars on front & back.
