This incredible pro-built 1970 Chevelle reads like a wish list for every car guy on the planet. Look past the priceand#44; which is still only a fraction of the build costand#44; and realize that you just wont get 720 horsepowerand#44; show-quality bodyworkand#44; and a fully engineered drivetrain all in one package for less than this. Add in the fact that its downright gorgeous to look atand#44; and you have a potential show winner thats ready to start taking home some really big trophies and put an equally large grin on your face. We dont like to call any car perfect around hereand#44; because no car is perfectand#44; but this awesome Chevelle is awfully close. Thousands and thousands of dollars were poured into the sleek Chevelle to give it a classic look with a modern twistand#44; and the end result looks spectacular. They wisely left the factory sheetmetal alone and simply focused on getting it laser-straight. Once that part was handledand#44; they bolted it back together and made sure the gaps were exacting and the panels fit flush. Theres a very subtle cowl-induction hood that practically vanishes against the silver paintand#44; and if you look closelyand#44; youll note that ghost stripes were added in the factory pattern. It was all buffed and polished to an impossible shine that still looks wet. Proper SS badges were addedand#44; a blacked-out grille installed up frontand#44; and bright chrome and stainless pieces sparkle against the silver paint. Theres just no part of this car that wasnt carefully renderedand#44; polishedand#44; and installed. The interior is a study in contrastsand#44; and while it has a bench seatand#44; theres nothing on this car that wasnt done for a reason. To keep the industrial-strength look and no-nonsense performance attitudeand#44; they simple used what was already thereand#44; restored it so show standardsand#44; and put it back together with some additional performance gear. The dash is full of Auto Meter gauges and the shifter shows five gears instead of the usual fourand#44; but otherwise its fairly stock. Beautifully restored door panels (complete with factory power windows!) work with fresh carpets and a restored dash pad to give it a pretty authentic feel. Theres no radio and perhaps there never wasand#44; but the A/C system is working as intended thanks to modern hardware behind the scenes. The trunk is beautifully finished and includes a professional-grade battery box and cut-off switch for safety. OKand#44; OKand#44; lets talk about that engine. Its a GM ZZ572R big block with a rating of 720 horsepowerand#44; and if that doesnt get your blood pumpingand#44; nothing will. Its an easy fit in the Chevelles engine bay and its surrounded with the best components possible. Aluminum headsand#44; a high-rise intake with a giant Demon carburetorand#44; 12.5:1 compressionand#44; and a bad attitude take this car beyond nasty. A serpentine belt setup handles the accessory drive and the giant aluminum radiator is cooled by electric fans so it doesnt get crankyand#44; even in traffic. Long-tube headers feed a custom 3-inch exhaust system that sounds spectacularand#44; even at idle. A Richmond 5-speed Super Street w/ Overdrive manual gearbox feeds a 12-bolt rear with 3.31s inside on a Posiand#44; so its happy on the highway just loafing along and with all that torque you dont need a lot of gear to get it moving. Hotchkiss suspension componentsand#44; Baer 4-wheel discsand#44; Bilstein shocksand#44; and other components read like a whos-who of high performanceand#44; and the stance is just perfect. Custom Budnik aluminum wheels give it a high-tech edge and carry 245/45/17 front and 275/40/18 rear redline radials for a very trick retro look. Theres so much more to this car that we cant possibly cover it all here. If you can afford itand#44; this is a no-disappointments dream car that takes no prisoners. Call today! |
