LOT #1317 - 1970 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE LS6 - TUXEDO BLACK
Rounding out the trio of LS6 Chevelles is a second
Z15-optioned Tuxedo Black example. Powered by the
LS6, this beast features a Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed

an F41 suspension and 5-spoke SS wheels wrapped
in Firestone wide oval tires, this Chevelle is ready to

warranty booklet and the Chevelle’s certificate from
the L78 Registry.
