These pics from CarsinBarns.com may not look like much but we can see that they are definitely of a 1970 Chevelle SS convertible. And it sure seems like it is sitting in a barn, with all of those tractors parked around.

Trepassing through a farm and you find this poking out at you. What do you do?

We don’t know much about it other than it is code 28. That makes it one of those deep metallic blue cuties we used to see a lot of back in the day.

This one came with the black convertible top and the matching white interior and SS stripe combo. Upon close inspection of the headlights, we see trim pieces missing, as if the poor thing might’ve been parted out somewhat.

The other kicker is that the engine is missing. Based upon the owner’s asking price of $40,000 we can assume that it may have been one of the rare LS-5 versions.

This is the way we would like our SS Chevelle droptops to look

It certainly would not be a LS-6 Chevelle or else God knows what it would be worth, even in that condition. The LS-6 Chevelles were monsters pumping out at least 100 hp more than the 396s and 360 hp 454s. We can attest to the fact that there were very few cars that could take these beasts out on the streets, back in the day.

What was cool about 1970 was that it was the introduction of the big 454 into these cars. Even if this car was the lower compression, LS-5 454, it was still a force to be reckoned with – and still a rare piece. There were around 4500+ of the LS-5s built back then and nobody knows how many were convertibles.

If this one is still nice under all of that dust and one could find the correct engine block, would it be worth an all stock restoration? The $40,000 asking price might be a bit steep these days. What say you, Gearheads?
