Number Eight: 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

Pictured here is one of our favorite muscle cars of all time, the 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS. Actually, we’re not sure if this particular example started out as an original SS, though we’re positive that there are at least a few modifications. Among them are the modern-style rims, the drag-strip readied chassis, a full roll cage, and badges that refer to something interesting under the hood. Is this quarter-miler really powered by a Duramax diesel? It would no doubt provide plenty of torque for a quick launch.
