Vehicle Description
This 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle LS Swap Restomod Convertible delivers
everything you want in an awesome custom speedy machine. These
factory drop-tops of this muscle car legend are rare. So it's
already distinctively attractive even before you add in the LS
motor, fully upgraded sports suspension, four-wheel disc brakes,
and the control of a six-speed. And you get to enjoy it all from a
well-appointed A/C interior. So dig into the details on an
absolutely attractive and absolutely powerful restomod build.
While this one goes beyond a classic Super Sport in its
performance, they did want to make sure to give it the proper SS
look. So they made a nice investment in the details. You especially
see it up front where the blackout grille, clear headlights, and
mirror-like bumper all add extra gravity to the aggressively sharp
face of the '69 Chevelle. The dual power bulge hood, proper SS
badging, blackout rear panel, and big dual exhaust tips are all
part of this classically attractive muscle car package. Plus, the
white SS side stripes that emphasize the gentle arch of the '69
Chevelle's profile, and it coordinates with the white top to make
this one of the few convertibles that look impressive with the roof
in place. Add in a shiny application of Marina Blue, and this Chevy
has all the attractiveness of an ocean wave. But those shining
18-inch US Mags wheels are so prevalent, that you instantly know
this Chevelle has much more than just vintage appeal.
With the flip of a switch, the roof powers down to reveal an added
dimension of aggressiveness. After all, a full black interior just
seems to announce a muscle car. There's only about 1k miles on this
build, and the difference really shows inside. You have freshness
in the details, right down to the dash pad, door panels, and
carpeting. And there's added comfort from late-model front bucket
seats with excellent bolstering. The rear seats even get stylish
suede-like inserts. There's more in comfort from the retro-style
AM/FM digital tuner, upgraded speakers, and cold-blowing air
conditioning (always a favorite on a top-down sunny day.) But a
restomod is all about being an awesome driver's machine. That's why
you have upgrades like the wood-rimmed sports steering wheel and a
Dakota Digital gauge package that has a cool blue glow like the
car's exterior. And have you counted the gears on the Hurst shifter
yet?
Everywhere you park you'll want to lift the hood just to show off
this powerhouse. There was a serious investment all around this
car, and the engine bay alone was said to be $17k. It was all about
getting fresh rebuilt modern power under the hood of this classic.
The fuel-injected LS is one of the most potent and potential
powerplants from Chevrolet, and so they made sure it was ready for
primetime. The smooth/dark inner walls and ultra-tidy setup mean
your eyes can't help but take notice of the custom engine covers
that follow the exterior's theme. More than just look great, they
made sure to install this correctly with the right supporting
components, like a serpentine belt system and a large aluminum
radiator with electric fan. It inhales deeply with a BBK 85mm
throttle body and exhales with authority as headers feed the X-pipe
dual exhaust. And control of this high-performance V8 and its
thunderous soundtrack is firmly in your command thanks to the
Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission. As you look underneath
this build, you can see there was a ton invested on the suspension.
You'll spot fresh components, including tubular front A-arms,
tubular rear arms, Viking double-adjustable coilovers, and thick
sway bars front & rear. Plus, you have power steering, grippy
ZR-rated tires, and Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes with
drilled & slotted rotors.
There is about $80k invested in this total custom build. It
delivers a rare muscle car drop-top that is more comfortable,
nimbler, and more powerful than what Chevy could have ever
imagined. That's what makes it the ultimate classic for modern
times. Call now!
