Vehicle Description
This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Restomod is a fresh build that gives
you a clean and classic muscle car look inside and out. But when
you look under the hood, you see that there is a 555 cubic-inch big
block that gives you superior power. And with fuel injection, an
upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and the control of a
five-speed, you can start to see how this is a thoughtful total
package that wants you to fully harness all that extra power.
The '70 Chevelle is one of the largest icons of the muscle car era,
and so you like it when someone takes the time to get it right.
With less than 75 miles on this hardtop since the completed
restoration, it has not seen a lot of public road time. This has
the right pieces you want, like an SS-style cowl induction hood,
wide dual exhaust tips, racing stripes painted over the top, and
the form-fitting bumpers have a mirror-like glow. The full car's
aggressive and shining nature really comes together on classic
Cragar SS wheels that are a larger 17-inch size so that you can fit
modern tires.
The black interior is a tasteful choice against the black exterior
stripes. We love the classic style, right down to the two wide rows
of bench seats. And it all has a freshness that makes the interior
quite inviting. There's a great vintage appearance, right down to
details like the working dome light and Delco AM/FM radio that's on
display. But this also has the right well-integrated modern
upgrades like the Vintage Air air conditioning system. And this one
was made to be a true driver's coupe with upgrades like the
wood-rimmed sports steering wheel, floor shifter, and upgraded
gauges with large speedo and tach. And the Sniper EFI controller
mounted in the ashtray is a great way to hide a very handy modern
piece.
When you open the hood, the smooth inner walls funnel all your
attention to the big V8 in the middle. You're looking at a 555
cubic-inch big block crate motor. While the monster displacement is
usually plenty of displacement for most of us, this one also has
plenty more. It's built right with aluminum heads, an Edelbrock
Air-Gap aluminum intake, and long tube headers feeding the large
3-inch dual exhaust system. The motor is then topped with a Holley
Sniper electronic fuel injection system. It's a stout package that
the consignor states makes about 750 horsepower! There are even the
right supporting components, like a serpentine belt system, MSD
ignition, and an aluminum radiator with electric fans. The upgraded
five-speed manual transmission gives you full control over the big
power package. This feeds an aluminum driveshaft on its way to the
stout 12-bolt rear end. And as you look underneath, you'll spot
more upgrades, like the full Hotchkis suspension that includes
tubular A-arms up front, tubular control arms in the rear, and sway
bars front and rear. Power steering, modern/grippy ZR-rated tires,
and four-wheel power disc brakes make it an all-around solid
driver.
The sale comes with service manuals and a receipt documenting over
$9k spent on just the motor in 2018. Fuel-injected big block power,
a radiant style, and plenty of comforts all come together on this
Chevelle. So if you want your classic to be upgraded and iconic,
don't miss this deal. Call now!
