BODYWORK/TRIM
The beneficiary of a comprehensive, body-off restoration, this
awesome A-Body has been lovingly coated in sweet Tuxedo Black
2-stage that's adorned with vivid Super Sport stripes. At the front
of the car's well-maintained panels, a familiar split-grille
centers an ornate "SS" badge on a small "CHEVELLLE" script, H4 HID
halos and a mirrored bumper that's finished with clear parking
lamps. Behind that grille, a smooth Cowl Induction Hood flows to
factory-tint glass, which rides under stainless frames, polished
drip rails and a pliable vinyl roof. At the sides of that hood, a
sculpted profile, founded in thin wheel liners and clean marker
lamps, founds traditional door handles and a correct driver's
mirror behind pristine "SS" badges and monochromatic "502"
monikers. And at the back of that profile, a second mirrored bumper
centers fresh tail lamps and a traditional Super Sport inlay
between an ornate trunk emblem and polished exhaust tips.
ENGINE
Check the Satin Black engine bay and you'll find 502 cubic inches
of buff Chevy big block that rumbles under FiTech Go EFI 4 600 HP
fuel injection. At the top of the Chevy Orange mill, a polished,
"502" branded air cleaner drops crisp wind in to a die cast
throttle body. That throttle body, sequenced to braided fuel lines,
surfs an aluminum Chevrolet intake. At the back of that plane, a
Racing Power Company HEI distributor sequences spark through loomed
Taylor plug wires. Above those cables, aluminum GM Performance
Parts heads hang polished breathers and polished covers over coated
Hedman Hedders. At the front of the block, billet pulleys spin a
Wilson alternator opposite modern power steering. At the front of
those ancillaries, a lightweight radiator makes excellent use of a
polished expansion tank and two chrome puller fans. And a lucid
Optima battery joins a fresh brake booster and a deep-sump oil pan
to detail serious performance with serious quality.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
When the big block jumps to life, it spins torque through a proven
Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed, which twists power to a tough 12-bolt
axle that's finished with a choice Yukon posi and 3.31 Yukon gears.
That B&M-capped pumpkin pushes a 4-link rear-half that's
augmented with UMI springs, UMI control arms and a UMI sway bar.
Opposite that suspension, a factory front-clip frames requisite
power steering in two more UMI springs and a second UMI sway bar.
At the corners, power-assisted discs and drums provide solid,
consistent stops. Under the Satin Black floors, 3-inch exhaust
pipes spent gases between long-tube headers, an H-shaped crossover,
brash Flowmaster mufflers and polished stainless tips. Based on
appearance, the car's builder valued details as much as essentials,
with items like braided fluid lines and a CVR mini starter joining
niceties like a polished transmission pan and a polished flywheel
cover. And everything rolls on Magnum 500-style blades, which lap
in 255/45ZR17 Nitto NT555 Extreme ZRs in front of 255/50ZR17 Nitto
NT555 Extreme ZRs.
INTERIOR
Decked in attractive Medium Red vinyl, this Chevy's fully restored
interior is tailored and taut. Seating is provided by
stainless-trimmed buckets, which front a factory-spec bench. At the
base of those thrones, color-keyed, SS-themed floor mats protect
like-new carpet. In the middle of that carpet, a lockable console
centers a small horseshoe shifter in faux carbon fiber trim.
Opposite that console, vivid side panels feature correct emblems
and correct hardware. At the front of those panels, a padded dash
founds Deluxe Instrumentation next to Bluetooth RetroSound audio.
In front of the driver, a color-keyed steering wheel spins satin
spokes around a patriotic horn button. And behind the passengers, a
restored trunk shades a crisp RetroSound Amplified Subwoofer.
Simply put: this 502-powered Chevelle is some of the coolest metal
on the planet! As it sits, the car offers the best of both worlds:
a solid cruiser, and a unique classic that sets itself apart from
virtual acres of brightly colored pony cars and overwrought land
yachts. Call your friends at RK Motors Charlotte to schedule some
seat time!
