This 1970 Chevelle is a complete frame off rotisserie restoration that is detailed to the nines. It combines big block power, a killer suspension set up, and awesome looks to create a truly modernized vintage ride.
The engine is completely rebuilt 454 with 30 over pistons, a Comp full roller cam with .547 lift. The motor has Comp Cams aluminum roller rockers, a Comp Cam timing chain and the entire motor uses ARP bolts throughout. The heads are Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads and the intake is an Edelbrock Performer RPM air gap dual quad setup. On top of the intake are two 600 carbs and throttle response is snappy! Running the front accessories is a Billet Specialties serpentine system, and dressing up the compartment are a set of Billet Specialties valve covers and a Billet Specialties air cleaner. Keeping the engine nice and cool is a 3 core aluminum radiator with dual thermostatically controlled electric fans. The engine exhales through a meaty set of 2" Hooker long tube headers and a 3" Magnaflow dual exhaust system that has been powder coated in high temp black and sounds oh so sweet!
The transmission is a T-10 4-Speed and the rear end is a 12-bolt housing with Detroit True-Trac differential, Richmond 3:73 gears and hardened axles. The wheels are Riddler 18×8 in the front and 20×10 in the rear and the tires are Toyo Proxes 235/40ZR18 in the front and 295/30ZR20 in the rear.
During the restoration, the chassis of the car was media blasted and powdercoated with high gloss black finish. Upon rebuilding the suspension, the restorer used all new body bushings and bolts through out. The car now utilizes a air ride system with VIAIR Dual compressors, a 5 gallon tank and Ride Rite airbags on all 4 corners. The compressors are quick to charge the tank and never leave you waiting on slow pumps. The setup uses red tubular control arms on all four corners that have been powder coated in high gloss red. Keeping the car level through the turns is a set of 1" sway bars, and providing quick and responsive steering is a completely rebuilt steering system with a Quick ratio box. Bringing the car to a controlled and speedy stop is 4-wheel disc brake kit with a brand new master cylinder and power booster.
The body of the Chevelle was stripped down to bare metal at the start of the restoration and is as straight as can be. The car has excellent body gaps throughout and they just nailed the fit and finish. The two stage black paint has been color sanded to a mirror finish and all of the trim and chrome is new from front to rear. Also new is all of the glass as well as every single piece of rubber trim. The same level of detail continues into the stunning engine compartment and the immaculate undercarriage. This car has only test miles since a complete restoration and the photos don’t do the level of detail justice.
The interior is immaculate from top to bottom and has been rebuilt with all new parts. Prior to installation, sound deadening material was applied before the carpet padding. The entire wiring harness is new from throughout the car and has been expertly run. The entire SS gauge set up is brand new and all of the gauges function as they should. The door panels, dash pad and package tray are new as well. The seats have been custom upholstered in black leather with killer looking red stitching and feel as good as they look. Providing the tunes is a Custom AutoSounds head unit with an MP3 hookup, a 3×7 in the dash 6×9 in the package tray and a 10" subwoofer concealed in the trunk. The trunk itself it fully finished which hides the subwoofer and air ride equipment.
There are ok cars, good cars and over-the-top cars. Don’t miss out on the amazing finish and quality this car has to offer and stop by for a visit soon. The pictures simply don’t do it justice.
