Auto World 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396

The 1970 Chevelle came in sport coupe, sport sedan, convertible, four-door sedan, a couple of wagons, and coupé utility (the El Camino) body styles. Only 3 of these (Malibu sport coupe, Malibu convertible and El Camino pickup) were available with a choice of one of 2 SS options; RPO Z25 with the SS 396 (402 cid) engine and RPO Z15 with the new 454 cid engine. The SS options were limited to the Malibu two-door sport coupe, Malibu convertible and El Camino pickup. The base model Chevelle was now named Chevelle (which causes confusion) in lieu of the former base 300 Deluxe and was only as a sport coupe or four-door sedan.

Thanks for the pics. I've seen this model in person (in the box, though) & didn't realize it had real hinges in both the doors & engine compartment. I'd been holding out for a cheap Lane/ACME version, but think I'll be 100% happy with one of these AW's. I have a Maisto '70 Chevelle, but it doesn't do anything for me.

That is a nicely executed classic. What's the average price on an AW model?

It really depends on the level...Elite, Authentic, etc.

This is an Elite. A local seller had it for $50 (no shipping no tax), but I think that's on the cheap side. Figure $20 more from a normal retailer.
