When building a custom car, it’s the details that separate the best from all the rest. Focus and attention to the small parts of the look and performance add up to make a big difference, but comfort and functionality are crucial as well. This 1970 Chevelle is a well-executed example of all those things. The body has been modified with shaved drip rails, flush mounted front and rear glass, and a cowl-induction-style hood, finished in a high-gloss black with silver SS-style stripes. The bumpers have been painted to match, the rear taillight lenses were smoked, and the car rides on a set of 20” Asanti 3-piece wheels to complete the menacing look of the exterior. On the inside, a handmade custom dash and console highlight a unique interior complete with custom door panels and modified GTO seats. Additionally, a set of Auto Meter gauges has been added, along with a high-level stereo featuring a JVC head unit with backup camera, navigation and Bluetooth. For comfort, Dynamat sound deadener was applied throughout the interior and a Vintage Air system was added, complete with billet control knobs, in the center console.
This car really comes alive under the hood, with a massive 572 Chevy big block pushing 620hp backed by a programmable TCI 6-speed transmission. Helping put the power to the ground is a pro-touring suspension style with coilovers and Wilwood disc brakes to bring everything to a stop. The attention to detail continues with the underside and engine bay, which have the same high-gloss black finish as the exterior, and a set of billet hood hinges were added to match the accessory drive. Details like keyless entry, GPS tracking and a Passport 9500CI radar detector have been added to cap off this impressive build.
With a combination of looks, performance and comfort, this Chevelle showcases what it takes to build a top-tier Resto-Mod.
