Rare 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Emerges Preserved With Drag Strip Heritage

A rare, mostly unrestored 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 recently resurfaced after years of obscurity, attracting the attention of expert Patrick Glenn Nichols who purchased it for its excellent condition and drag strip heritage. Unlike the more famous LS6 variant, this Chevelle features the less common L34 350-horsepower engine but retains original factory elements including the rare red interior, making it a prized survivor. Separately, the UK's only surviving 1964 Vauxhall Cresta Radford, a luxury coachbuilt model aimed at business executives seeking Jaguar-like prestige, remains a unique testament to mid-20th-century British automotive exclusivity with features like lambswool carpeting and adjustable rear passenger amenities. In a different vein, a replica of one of Britain’s first motor vehicles, originally built by Stephens in 1898, was unveiled in Clevedon using 3D scanning technology, preserving local automotive heritage. Lastly, Royal Enfield's new 452cc liquid-cooled engine was showcased through a custom supermono sportsbike named 'GRR' by builder Pepo Rosell, blending classic design with modern performance in a project highlighting Royal Enfield’s engineering capabilities.
