I have a co-worker in another state who is the technical representative for the company I work for. His customer (our customer) has a good friend that has a bunch of old cars in a hangar in the middle of nowhere. Anyway, he is looking to get rid of one of them nd I told him I wa interested in it. Here is what I know:
1970 Chevelle SS (real)
454 (Original, numbers matching)
4-speed (Original, numbers matching)
unmolested car, original everything. A small amount of rust at the RH rear quarter. The rest of the car is rust free with original paint, interior. I don't know colors or any other options yet. I am calling tomorrow to talk to the owner.
Curious what your opinions are for a ballpark $$. I have an idea but would like some feedback.

Chevelles get top dollar from what I've seen. Very popular and sought after car. 454 4-speed L5 or L6 could easily be $25k+

A quick internet search showed an extreme low milage (8,700 miles) garage queen for $185 K Really rare 'verts push a 1/4 million.
2012 Mustang Boss 302 #1918, Competition Orange. FGF replacement
2006 Mustang V6 Pony, Vista Blue. Factory ordered.
2019 BMW X3 (Titled to the wife, but I'm always driving it for her. So I'm claiming it)
Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.
1980 Turbo Trans Am
1970 Mustang fastback, 351C 4Bbl, auto
1988 Mustang GT, 5 speed
1983 F-150 4x4, built 302
1994 Chevy K2500 HD 4x4, 454 TBI

I will post price once I talk to the owner and make my decision. This will be a long process and will require at least one plane ride but I am being told the price is very right. Please wish me luck. I am very excited about the possibilty of owning this vehicle. Ed

Based on originality alone, I think you are over 50K even if not an LS6. Very sought after.

Depends on condition but you could easily pay at least 25K (and probably more) for something that is an ok driver that needs work.
As Dam says, 70 Chevelles, like 69 Camaros and 70 Mustangs, are part of that small group of cars that everyone knows and what gets top dollar, though I'd take a Buick Stage 1 over a Chevelle any day.
