Vehicle Description
There are quite a few reasons why we sell so many top-notch
Chevelles. For starters, the Chevelle is, in many enthusiasts'
minds, the quintessential American muscle car. Given the marque's
big production numbers, they're pretty easy to find. And, thanks to
broad aftermarket support, they're fairly easy to build and
maintain. That said; every classic takes patience. And building a
project to the level of this awesome Super Sport can quickly fall
into a lifelong saga. That's why, increasingly, enthusiasts are
walking directly into our showroom and kicking the words "finding"
and "building" right out of the conversation. Wrapping polished
aesthetics around a custom chassis, a leather-lined cockpit and a
spry LS3 drivetrain, this sweet resto-mod is all about the phrase
"quintessential American muscle car"!
SIX FIGURES OF PROFESSIONAL BUILD
Buff, bad and ready to roll, this pristine drop-top is the
beneficiary of a detailed, ground-up build that pushed nearly
$300,000 in costs. That nut-and-bolt reboot, conducted by the pros
at Woodstock, Illinois' Schwartz Performance, dressed slick Tuxedo
Black 2-stage in Pearl Super Sport Stripes. And today, this
handsome Chevy walks a fine line between tastefully modern and
traditionally conservative. At the front of the car's sinister
profile, a stainless-trimmed grille centers a prominent "SS" emblem
between Euro-spec headlights and a broad bumper that's finished
with clear parking lamps. At the top of that grille, a familiar
Cowl Induction Hood flows to factory-tint glass that's framed in
straight stainless and capped in tight canvas. At the sides of the
car, bright "SS" emblems add a little pizzazz while traditional
door handles perfectly complement a duo of factory mirrors. And out
back, a second broad bumper stretches a clean SS inlay between
polished exhaust tips, conservative taillights and a classy
Chevelle trunk script.
LS NATION
Gaze upon this Chevy's glossy, billet-trimmed engine bay and you'll
find 6.2 liters of modern GM small block that provides a perfect
blend of athleticism and drivability. Officially known as the
Chevrolet Performance LS3, that fresh crate engine twists
respectable 10.7 to 1 compression into 430 horsepower and 425
lb./ft. of torque. At the top of the block, a custom air tube
funnels wind in to a proven GM throttle body, which feeds a
lightweight GM intake. That air meets spark in rectangular-port
L92-style heads, which ride under trick Carbon Fiber rail covers. A
nodular crank, powdered connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons
compress that volatile union. A bumpy hydraulic roller cam
maximizes intake efficiency through better breathing. Speaking of
breathing, the smooth mill funnels spent gases through Schwartz
long-tube headers. There's a tidy Be Cool radiator that's slid
between a polished expansion tank and two SPAL puller fans. And
attractive March serpentine components spin a polished alternator
opposite a polished AC compressor.
LOOKS GREATS, DRIVES GREAT
Take a gander under this cool A-Body and you'll find a sturdy
Schwartz G-Machine chassis that wraps a web of boxed and tubed
bracing in smooth, Satin Black powdercoat. Those bones are
sandwiched between solid floorpans that have been appropriately
over-restored, and a custom suspension that's been finished with
quality RideTech coil-overs. Behind the LS3, a tough 4L60E 4-speed
spins a tough Moser 9-inch, which spins a familiar Truetrac
differential around big, 3.70 gears. Stopping is a cinch thanks to
drilled and slotted rotors, which get grabbed by power-assisted
Baer 6-piston calipers. Turns come courtesy of modern power
rack-and-pinion steering. Exhaust is handled by a series of
aluminized pipes, which swirl spent gases through an H-shaped
crossover and polished turbo mufflers. And at the corners,
Continental Extreme Contacts, sized 265/40ZR18 and 285/40ZR18,
twist polished Boyds wheels.
CLASSIC WITH A TOUCH OF MODERN
Check the car's clean interior and you'll find a familiar muscle
car aesthetic that's had modern convenience integrated where it
counts. Crisp front buckets are custom units that, along with a
factory rear bench, have been stitched in glowing leather. Front
and center, a monochromatic dash founds Dakota Digital VHX
telemetry beside modern, direct-fit audio and controls for Vintage
Air conditioning. At the edges of that dash, integrated Kenwood
kick speakers lead custom side panels, which front easy power
windows. A factory console surfs a factory horseshoe shifter on
plush Haargarn carpet. The driver enjoys the car's power through a
polished and half-wrapped steering wheel, which laps a tilting
column. And the passenger's stow essentials in a custom-upholstered
trunk.
With its smooth LS3, custom chassis and fresh leather interior,
this awesome Chevelle combines excellent power with athletic
handling and classic American appeal. Nothing's simply 'adequate'
about this car; it's an exceptionally well-done street machine
that'll provide years of invigorating performance and turn heads
anywhere it goes. If you're looking for a stunning Detroit super
star that has the muscle to back up its killer good looks, this
clean Chevy is your next cruiser!
