Having a 427 cubic-inch V8 in your Chevelle instantly makes you a
muscle car hero. However, this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Restomod
takes it far above the rest. That's because the motor is a modern
fuel-injected LS7 427 V8. Plus, there's a supercharger on top! This
also has been upgraded everywhere that counts, including the
suspension, transmission, and comfy A/C interior. So dig into the
details on a hardtop stunner that has less than 2,900 miles on the
build.
This car is going to attract a ton of attention for its power, but
they also made sure it caught your eye with gorgeous paint first.
The factory-correct Forest Green is already a distinctive color,
but the restoration gave it a fresh professional application that
added the right metallic sprinkle to add extra depth and radiance
in the sunshine. All that added gloss really lets the sunshine
highlight the time and money spent getting such straight sheet
metal. Now add the best speedy Super Sport upgrades, like hood
pins, SS badging, and high contrast white racing stripes. There was
a nice investment in the chrome bumpers to have them shine like
mirrors, and that goes nicely with the upgraded polished exhaust
tips and polished alloys. And the modern Coys wheels have an 18/20
inch front/rear stagger gives this an awesome stance that signals
there is some serious power within.
Just like the exterior, the interior keeps its classic style while
giving you an upgraded experience. This starts with the seats. Both
the front buckets and rear bench have a factory-style pattern. But
they have been restored to feel fresh and all-day comfortable. The
door panels, carpeting, headliner, and dash are all done in a deep
black for a terrific look. Plus, the green floor mats are a
thoughtful touch to unite the color theme with the exterior. You
have nice comfort upgrades to keep everyone happy, like
cold-blowing R134a air conditioning and an AM/FM stereo with USB
and Bluetooth. But the best treats are reserved just for the
driver. You have an NK4 sports steering wheel on a tilt column,
power steering, a horseshoe shifter in the center console, and a
full set of white-faced TPI-Tech gauges with large speedo and
tach.
You're going to want to lift the hood on this one everywhere you
park. After all, jaws will drop as people peek inside and see the
award-worthy polished presentation of the modern 7.0-liter (427
cubic-inch) fuel-injected LS7 V8. Oh yes, this is the kind of
powerhouse that made more modern Z06 Corvettes and Z/28 Camaro king
of the streets. But that's not all you spot. It has terrific
features like aluminum heads and long tube headers. Plus, there's a
Kenne Bell supercharger on top. It takes this classic muscle car
and puts it in a horsepower league with modern supercars! This is a
serious setup that not only looks fresh, but also it was done with
a major eye for quality. That's why it has supporting pieces like
the serpentine belt system, AGR steering box, a separate trans
cooler, dual electric fans, and an Optima red top battery mounted
in the trunk for better weight distribution. The 4L80E four-speed
automatic transmission was built to handle this LS power. It feeds
a stout 12-bolt rear end with Detroit Truetrac diff and 4.11 gears
for powerful and confident take-offs. The suspension looks as fresh
as the rest of this low-mileage build, and it includes upgrades
like UMI rear control arms, heavy-duty sway bars, and four-wheel
power disc brakes.
Complete with build receipts, this is a total performance build
wrapped around a muscle car icon. So if you want the ultimate
restomod, call today!
