Vehicle Description
The sleek darkness immediately attracts your attention to this 1969
Chevrolet Chevelle 505 Restomod. And it even has everything from a
terrific body to a comfy A/C interior to really prove there have
been big investments here. But the real reason why this is so
irresistible is that there's a big fuel-injected 505ci stroker V8
under the hood. It's even matched with everything from a five-speed
transmission to an upgraded sports suspension.
Let's start with the paint that's instantly grabbing your
attention. It's an awesome shade of black, and we're told it was
part of a frame-off restoration that happened in 2016. There's a
sleekness and darkness that immediately sets the right tone for
this car. We're told this was born a real-deal Super Sport, and
while unverified, you're not likely going to find anyone who will
question its mean machine credentials. It has all the right SS
details, like the dual power dome hood, correct badging, and wide
exhaust tips. That nicely contrasting streak of white on the SS
side stripes is even painted on and cleared over for a smooth
shine. And this muscle car also shows off its premium side with the
bright chrome bumpers, excellent trim, and fresh-looking vinyl top.
Plus, we love the wheels. These are Coys 18-inch alloys that let us
fit better modern tires, and the black chrome shine is a thoughtful
addition to the overall appearance.
While there was a lot invested in making the exterior look good,
there was money left in the budget for the interior, too. It's a
thoughtful setup where the front bucket seats have a custom pattern
with comfy velour inserts. There are some nice comfort upgrades,
like the cold-blowing air conditioning and a retro-style AM/FM
stereo with Bluetooth. But as much as these are features for
comfort and distinction, this was definitely built to go fast. You
understand it instantly when you slip into the driver's seat and
spot details like the column-mounted shift light, digital auxiliary
readouts, and the Sniper EFI controller. And have you counted the
gears on the Hurst shifter yet?
As great as everything else is, it's what in the engine bay that
you're going to love most about this restored and upgraded
Chevelle. The V8 is ready for show duty with a tidy setup and
plenty of polished components. The 454 cubic-inch big block is
already a larger displacement than what was offered in 1969, but
that's just the beginning of the upgrades. This younger Gen VI was
enlarged to be a 505ci stroker motor. It's now topped with an
upgraded intake and a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection
system. Hedman headers exhale with added power while contributing
to the rumble of the H-pipe dual exhaust. And when you really want
to bring the thunder, all you have to do is open the exhaust
cutouts. This has the right components to get the big power to the
pavement. It starts with the control of a stout Tremec five-speed
manual transmission, and that feeds a 12-bolt rear. We're told this
is a 4.11 Positraction unit, and that means powerful and confident
take-offs. And don't forget to check out the undercarriage photos
where you'll see the suspension has been upgraded. This includes a
thick front sway bar with newer bushings, a reinforced four-link
rear, and traction bars. Add in power steering, modern sport tires,
and power brakes with discs up front, and this makes for an easy
way to harness big power.
This is the classic Chevelle that has been given huge investment to
go well beyond its already established muscle car legend. So if you
want all eyes and ears to be on you, call today!
