HOT ROD POWER TOUR X2
A fully sorted gem that was built by Raleigh, North Carolina's
B-Mac's Auto Restoration, this Chevelle is a frame-off, rotisserie
restored cruiser that rang up a hefty 6-figure build budget before
even accounting for labor and assembly. That precise reboot
included solid sheetmetal and sophisticated Corvette Long Beach Red
Metallic Tintcoat. And that trick paint, layering both the inside
and outside of the car's long body, highlights stellar build
quality that's detailed all the way down to new seals, new bolts,
and all-new lighting and lenses.
A thorough examination of our rich photos reveals trim and
ornamentation that remains very similar to what the General
specified. At the front of the car, a bright grille hangs a
prominent "CHEVELLE" emblem between clear T3 headlights, vivid
parking lamps and an original bumper that's been professionally
re-chromed. Behind that grille, a 2-inch Cowl Induction Hood fronts
smoked glass that, installed during the car's restoration, is caged
in straight frames, polished rails and 7-speed Newport Engineering
wipers. At the sides of that hood, textured Super Sport rocker
guards reflect tasteful door handles and requisite bowtie mirrors
between custom fender emblems and stylish "Malibu" quarter scripts.
And out back, a second original, re-chromed bumper frames an ornate
Chevrolet crest, tasteful LS3 badging and upfitted LED
taillights.
CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE
Sourced directly from Chevrolet Performance, this classic's proven
LS3 utilizes a hearty 6.2 liters of displacement to turn 409
dyno-proven horsepower into of 404 lb./ft. of dyno-proven torque!
At the top of the aluminum mill, a remote K&N filter funnels
wind into a trusty GM throttle body with the help of quality
Speartech engine management. That bowl is seated on a lightweight
composite intake that's juiced by a stainless Rick's VaporWorx tank
and GM electronic fuel injection. That air/fuel mixture progresses
to rectangular-port L92-style heads, which tuck nicely between
fresh MSD plug wires and a color-keyed, fifth-generation Camaro
engine shroud. A nodular crank, powdered connecting rods and
hypereutectic pistons provide compression, while a hydraulic roller
cam maximizes intake efficiency. Speaking of breathing, the smooth
mill funnels spent gases through coated Flowmaster tubes. A muted
AFCO LS radiator fronts quick-spinning SPAL puller fans. A modern
serpentine drive spins modern air conditioning above modern power
steering. And items like a smoothed firewall, braided fluid lines,
a requisite Holley oil pan and billet Ringbrothers hood supports
convey a sense of top-notch detailing.
BUILT FOR THE BLACKTOP
Bottom-side, a tough hydraulic clutch spins torque through a
familiar Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed, which, new at the time of the
car's restoration, is dressed in a steel Lakewood QuickTime
bellhousing. That transmission is hooked to a powder-coated 12-bolt
axle, which, also new at the time of the car's restoration, twists
an Eaton posi around big, 3.73 gears. A boxed and powder-coated
frame gets pushed by a Detroit Speed Swivel-Link 4-link, which is
finished with Detroit Speed coil-over-shocks and a Detroit Speed
sway bar. At the front of the upgraded chassis, adjustable SPC
control arms string Hotchkis 1-inch lowering springs and quality
VariShock dampers behind Speedtech AFX spindles and a second
Detroit Speed sway bar. The aforementioned power steering floods a
Lee Performance 800 gearbox. A Baer master cylinder makes excellent
use of Hydratech hydroboost to cinch four Baer calipers around four
drilled and slotted rotors. Spent gases traverse 3-inch Magnaflow
pipes, which stack high performance Magnaflow cats in front of an
X-shaped crossover and polished Magnaflow mufflers. At the corners
of the car, chromed Cragars spin 245/45ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force
Sports in front of 275/40ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports. And this
Chevelle's solid floors are poised to stay clean and weather-free
thanks to a generous coating of U-POL RAPTOR liner.
CRUISE IN COMFORT
Pop this A-Body's solid doors and you'll find a tastefully upgraded
interior that's both attractive and timeless. In the middle of that
cockpit, reclining TMI Sport R buckets wear taut Ultraleather hides
and cool red stitching. In front of those seats, a lightly
customized dash hangs Dakota Digital VHX telemetry next to Vintage
Air climate control and RetroSound Long Beach audio. That head unit
pipes both Bluetooth and USB compatibility through a 5-channel amp,
an 8-inch sub and four Mirus speakers. Plush carpet, complete with
Chevrolet-themed floor mats, splits the difference between Lizard
Skin insulation, a dressed console and a Silver Sport Transmissions
short-throw shifter. Coordinated TMI door panels front modern power
windows. And a customized steering wheel laps a tilting Ididit
column that's equipped with convenient Cruise Control.
Want to know the best thing about classic American muscle? The fact
that it never goes out of style. Of the many awesome sub-cultures
our hobby continues to spawn and support, American muscle is one of
the most desirable and relatable. And, once you slide behind the
wheel of a car like this sweet Chevy, you'll understand exactly
why. If you're ready to experience the magic of some of Detroit's
finest iron, schedule a visit and take a long look at this awesome
Malibu!
