There just isn't any way we can answer that question without a lot more information, pictures, and some form of documentation that will prove it is a real SS car. Can you supply any of that? If so, we would be glad to help you determine a ballpark value.

I can't read German, how much is it? It may be a true SS but not likely an original LS5 or LS6 454. If it was an LS5 or LS6 it should have Malibu tags on the inside door panels, 396 cars got SS tags. The dash is a repop, notice the chrome on the 4 small pods around the speedo pod. The hood is a repop, notice how it extends back further to the windshield than the fenders do. Also notice the curve in the hood behind the headlight surround, it should be flat, seen repop hoods before with these issues.

Only 1 under hood shot and it doesn't show any detail. Based on the limited pics I would say it's a clone, they don't offer any proof it's a true SS. They also don't provide enough pics that show the details that might give you a clue. It's not bad looking from the pics provided but I doubt it's a true SS.

I noticed the trunk lid and the quarter also do not line up correctly down by the bumper. It has a newer alternator and air conditioning unit, The alternator has a serpentine belt on it and was not available in 70. I agree with Hank the dash is a repop and the hood. The SS and 454 are to high on the front fenders. I'm guessing it has 15" wheels on it and not 14's because the back rims are deeper then a stock wheel. It is a nice lookng car, but I doubt it is a true SS Chevelle. Everything on it is not original it would seem.

I agree with you on the wheels Ray. I didn't mention that because a lot of people change to 15" rims. It's hard to see in the pics but look closely at the crease down the center of the hood. On an original hood the crease goes away and the center of the cowl is flat before it gets to the flapper. On a repop the crease runs all the way back so when the engine is running, flapper closed, the hood and flapper don't line up because the flapper is flat across and the hood isn't. No biggy but they didn't even install the under hood insulation.

Still need to know what they're asking for it. It doesn't appear to be a true SS but that doesn't make it a bad car.
