Vehicle Description
Looking for a cool piece of Americana that'll turn heads anywhere
it goes? If you're in the market for some vintage metal that's
stylish, powerful and has lots of history, who says you have to buy
a stuffy, high maintenance trailer queen? Just pick up the phone,
call your friends at RK Motors Charlotte and we'll hook you up with
a great car like this awesome Chevelle Super Sport! Combining a hot
LSX 454 V8 with a tough Tremec 6-speed and sinister black-on-black
aesthetics, this gruff ground-pounder draws big crowds and big
compliments. And if you're one of the many enthusiasts looking for
a fun classic that's unrelentingly cool, it's your ticket to good
times and great memories!
SOMETHING WICKED
The beneficiary of a body-off, nut-and-bolt restoration that was
completed by Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania's Tony's Muscle Cars, this
awesome A-Body has been lovingly coated in rich black 2-stage paint
that's as slick as oil on a hot drag strip! At the front of the
car's tastefully modified body, a familiar split-grille centers an
ornate "SS" badge on a small "CHEVELLE" script, bright halogen
headlights and a mirrored bumper that's finished with clear parking
lamps. Behind that grille, a smooth Cowl Induction Hood flows to a
trim-free windshield, which leads shaved drip rails and a trim-free
backlite. At the sides of that hood, a stainless-lined profile
centers factory mirrors and Kindig-it flush-mount door handles
between bold fender emblems, integrated marker lamps and shaved
door locks. And at the back of that profile, a second mirrored
bumper centers fresh tail lamps and a traditional Super Sport inlay
between a shaved decklid and integrated exhaust tips.
LSX-CELLENCE
Hoist this Chevy's low-rise hood and you'll find a 454 cubic inch,
627 horsepower Chevrolet Performance LSX 454 V8 that's wedged
inside a clean, carefully modified engine bay. Straight from the
General, this exclusive package utilizes a tough iron block, a
forged 4340 crank, forged 4340 rods, forged aluminum pistons and a
hydraulic roller cam to turn stout 11 to 1 compression into 586
lb./ft. of pavement-slaying torque! At the front of the mill, a
remote Spectre filter element funnels wind through a polished tube,
which is cinched to a proven GM throttle body. Behind that valve,
an LSX-LS7 intake feeds aluminum LSX-LS7 heads, which hide spry
roller lifters under custom fuel rail covers and painted LSX 454
valve covers. Beside those covers, flashy stainless headers frame
Straub Extreme Race Plug Wires, which snake toward relocated coil
packs. Just behind those packs, polished serpentine components spin
an aluminum water pump between a polished alternator, a polished AC
compressor and modern power steering. And in front of that pump, a
polished Be Cool radiator cycles coolant around chrome puller
fans.
THE OTHER HALF OF $19K
That small block is trailed by a Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed that,
when combined with the engine, rang up $19,412 before installation.
That tough transmission spins a Currie 9-inch axle around big, 3.73
gears. That pumpkin pushes a lowered F41 Sport Suspension that's
been augmented with modern control arms and bathed in contrasting
paint. A polished master cylinder joins a body-matched brake
booster to cinch Wilwood 4 and 6-piston calipers around drilled and
slotted discs. Under the body-matched floors, a custom exhaust
sends spent gases through an H-shaped crossover, electric
Granatelli cutouts and throaty turbo mufflers. And everything rolls
on chrome Ridler 645 wheels, which lap 235/40R18 Nitto Invo
redlines in front of 275/40ZR20 Nitto Invo redlines.
CLASSIC VIBES
Combining modern aesthetic with timeless style, this Chevelle's
tasteful interior is a perfect place to cruise the day away!
Seating is provided by plush TMI thrones. At the base of those
leather and suede thrones, cut-pile carpet centers a factory
console on a traditional Hurst shifter. In front of that shifter, a
padded dash founds crisp Dakota Digital HDX telemetry next to
modern air conditioning and modern RetroSound audio. The driver
spins a polished steering wheel around a tilting column. And the
passengers store gear in a custom-upholstered trunk.

Component literature
Simply put: this menacing 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

yachts. Call your friends at RK Motors Charlotte to schedule some
seat time!
