READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION
There are certain custom classic cars that you can look at just
once and your heart melts into your stomach. A certain color
combination or that perfect stance that just screams 'muscle car'!
The gorgeous machine that you are looking at now is one of those
cars.
HOLLYWOOD MOTORS is proud to offer you this absolutely gorgeous
1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 496 Resto-Mod Custom! This Chevelle is
an absolute show-stopper folks! Built in Southern Utah over the
last several years, the idea was to build a brutally fast '68
Chevelle show car w/ all of the creature comforts needed for a
truly enjoyable ride. I can safely say that they succeeded on all
levels! All receipts/paperwork from the custom build have been
meticulously recorded, with a total build cost of $139,000! It all
started w/ a super-clean Fremont, CA. built '68 Chevelle SS that
retained all of its 100% rust-free sheet metal, and then the
transformation began. Countless man-hours were spent making sure
that all of the body panels fit nicely and that all of the sheet
metal was laser straight all of the way around the car. She was
then finished in a gorgeous shade of GM Red Jewel
base-coat/clear-coat, which was then buffed & polished to a
lustrous shine. This color really has to be seen in person to
appreciate how truly gorgeous it is. It absolutely 'POPS' like no
other color that I've ever seen on a Chevelle. A new black vinyl
roof was added, which looks excellent w/ the beautiful Red Jewel
paint. All of the chrome & stainless trim is new and in
show-quality condition throughout. Again, the stance is absolutely
perfect, as she sits on polished Billet Specialties Daytona
Pro-Touring wheels (20" on the rear & 18" up front) wrapped w/
Falken Azenis FK510 radial tires (285/35/ZR20 on the rear &
255/35/ZR18 up front). You can walk around this beautiful '68
Chevelle a hundred times and you will not find a bad angle. She
looks just right, period. The undercarriage is beautifully detailed
w/ all new suspension & chassis components by Speedtech
Performance, including: Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes, Currie 12-bolt
rear-end w/ 3.73 gear ratio, double adjustable coil-overs front &
back, upper & lower control arms, trailing arm kit, tubular sway
bars, tie-rods, modified cross member, modified trans mount,
steering components, bushings, custom-made 3" stainless exhaust
system, custom fuel cell, and on & on! Lots of custom modification
work was done making sure that everything fit just right (see
undercarriage photos).
Open the driver's door and you will find a beautiful two-tone black
& red custom bucket-seat interior w/ factory console done by custom
interior guru Scott Tesch @ Stitchcraft, which was designed w/
driver comfort in mind. Interior features include: black leather
Corbeau Racing Seats w/ red suede inserts, black suede headliner,
Detroit Digital red-lit gauges, tilt-steering column, wrapped
Billet Specialties steering wheel, factory center console w/
factory shifter, Vintage air conditioning & heat, Vintage Audio
AM/FM/USB/Bluetooth receiver, (4) 6" coaxial speakers, (2) 2"
tweeters, (2) 12" subwoofers (mounted in the trunk), (1) Alpine
PDR-F50 500 watt amplifier and (1) Alpine PDR-M65 650-watt
amplifier for subwoofers (both mounted in the trunk), custom SS 496
badging, black GM seat belts, etc. All of the gauges, lights,
blinkers, AC/heat, sound system, etc are in perfect working
condition. The interior is extremely comfortable and highly
functional in every way. The trunk area is beautifully finished in
matching black leather & red suede w/ the (2) Alpine power amps
custom-mounted in back. Again, both the interior and the trunk area
are highly functional and extremely elegant in design.
Now, let's get to the heart of this beast, shall we?
Pop open the hood and nestled inside the beautifully detailed
engine bay resides the MKIV 454ci BBC motor custom built by Snow
Performance, which was punched out to a massive 496 cubic-inches!
Every single part inside this motor is brand new & only top-quality
components were used, which is 100% documented by all of the build
receipts. Other features include: Billet Specialties BBC black
machined valve covers w/ matching Billet Specialties black air
cleaner assembly, Patriot aluminum heads, Edelbrock Performer RPM
aluminum intake manifold, Quick Fuel 780cfm carburetor, Street Fire
HEI distributor, Comp racing cam, Patriot headers, Billet
Specialties serpentine system, Moroso deep oil pan, Performance Rod
& Custom radiator/condenser/transmission cooler w/ (2) 16"
electronic pal fans, etc. Again, all internal components such as
rods, springs, roller rockers, etc., are all brand new & top
quality only. The 496ci BBC motor is linked to a TH400 automatic
transmission, which was custom built by Mike's Transmissions in
Lancaster, CA. which features a 3,500 stall-converter. The second
you fire this custom '68 Chevelle SS 496 up you instantly realize
what a 'serious' car that you are sitting in. She runs, drives &
performs beautifully in every way, and is extremely FAST! The
custom-built 3" stainless exhaust system sounds absolutely amazing
and matches how the car looks & performs. The built TH400 shifts
tight & precise, and pushes you back 'hard' in your seat when you
apply your right foot down firmly. The Performance Rod & Custom
cooling system keeps her running nice & cool even in 100+ degree
summer weather.
