Chevelle SS Wagon... no such thing right?
 

SB heater box?

Heater box stayed the same in BB or SB for a 70 Chevelle

I have never heard of a wagon with an SS option for 1970.

1973 only - Auto only

It’s definitely not an “SS” wagon but if it was a real big block optioned car, it would be the LS3 402.

funny how the whole car has patina, except the hood

Oops 67ss the article does state the hood was added but it indicates it came from the factory with the 396, 4 speed and bench seat:

"Chevrolet built 40,612 Chevelle wagons in 1970, out of a total over 160,000 total wagons for the model year. Of those, only 2200 were 8-cylinder Concours Estate wagons like the one pictured here. Add in that it’s a 350hp 396 under the hood and a four-speed bench seat ride, and well, you’ve got yourself one rare ride right there."

As noted, the only year they ever made a Chevelle SS wagon was 1973.

They say someone removed the wood grain sides and installed SS badging.

Guessing about 120 trim holes to weld shut, they really wanted that woodgrain gone!!

Cool wagon, and if it was born LS3/M20 very rare.

I thought I read somewhere the L35 was dropped for '70.

If that was true, it should be an LS3 car, right?

:haha::haha::haha:

As far as availability of the 396/402 in the Chevelle line:

1969: L35 (325hp) was base engine for SS cars.
1970: L34 (350hp) was base engine for SS cars; L35 dropped; LS3 (330hp) available in non-SS cars.
1971: LS3 (300hp) was base engine for both SS and non-SS cars. L34 dropped.

And yes, this wagon is a factory LS3/M20 car. The owner had a scan of the build sheet on his FB page showing the drivetrain.

The '67 Concours wagon I have in the shop now has 120 holes (mostly sloted) to attach more than 60 feet of body side molding, not including emblems or the tailgate. :eek2:
In my case, the woodgrain is going back on.

Bill, this is going to win over Yenko.net faster than a big chested blonde...

Thanks for the clarification. Car is certainly a unicorn.

Dan, be careful what you wish for Haha!!
I promise I'll start a thread soon.

That looks great Bill! Can't wait to see this car in person when you get it back on the road. I'd love to have station wagon from the late 60's too so I'm looking forward to your thread on it.
