1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS - Sunkist

Clarksville native Patrick Nichols has been on many treasure hunts and has discovered 50 or more classic muscle cars that were buried under the hands of time in barns, garages, storage sheds and back yards since his youth. Recently, Nichols found a rare and valuable 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6, that was stashed away in an industrial storage building in Reno, Nevada for decades.

The Chevelle was built in Van Nuys, Calif., and finished with a special “Metallic Orange” paint option. It is estimated that less than 25 extraordinary cars were assembled and painted the unique orange hue. Nichols purchased the car and had it transported to Clarksville. It was restored and named “Sunkist” as a wink to its original paint.
