No, GM dropped the Impala SS line in 1969, but if they still had, this one would be a good canidate.
It does have the LS4 454, (warmed over) TH400, 2 1/2" exhaust, Disc brakes, power windows, tilt column. AC, 6 way power bench, speed warning speedo, trunk popper, map light mirror, 15X8 rallys, ect. It has more options than some caddys. (It's a keeper )

while i don't have either on my 78, the 2 best "novelty" plates i have seen in a while are:

"wrap your *** in fiberglass" (the old 70's adage)

and "suckin' gas and kickin' ***"

I wasn't sure on the SS package. I thought 69 was the last year. At any rate you better believe your 70 is a keeper. I'll say it again that is one sweet car you have.

That 25th is real cool.

I like the green/yellow one to match the car. I'm thinking I want to go with one to match the cars colors.

Are there are Pace Car plates?
