Or heck just make a clone if you can’t buy a real one. Since authentic mint examples are sold few and far between you’d have a better chance finding doing a frame-off on a ‘70 6 cylinder Malibu coupe and build it as an ‘SS396 Chevelle clone.
396 and 400s are the same block I believe IIRC. You can find the 400 in a ton of old Chevy trucks, vans, and work vehicles laying in any junkyard today.
Machine, blueprint, and rebuild that to a 396 spec with the proper carb, intake, valve train, and boom you have a ‘70 SS396 Chevelle clone that looks and runs like a ‘70 SS396 Chevelle!
