A true Pro-Touring custom, this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle convertible
underwent a complete nut-and-bolt, frame-off restoration and was
built on a new full Schwartz chassis. It was professionally
restored and updated with a new Chevrolet Performance Connect &
Cruise kit and is powered by a 6.2-liter GM LT1 engine mated to a
manual 6-speed TREMEC transmission. A new McLeod hydraulic clutch
with a McLeod short shifter sends torque via a custom aluminum
driveshaft to the 3.73 gear rear end. RideTech coilover shocks
assist the custom chassis' handling. Steering is navigated through
a power rack & pinion setup and stopping is provided by the 4-wheel
big brake and Wilwood master cylinder kit with new brake lines and
a power booster. The engine cooling is handled by a new Be Cool
aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. An all-new custom
stainless-steel fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pump and pressure
regulator help feed the LT1 V8 engine. Inside, you'll find a custom
black-and-red interior that includes custom SS power seats, a
3-spoke billet steering wheel and a tilt steering column.
Additional modern upgrades include power windows, power locks, LED
lighted door panels, Billet Specialties door handles, USB charging
ports and a custom dash with Dakota Digital VHX gauges. A new
Vintage Air system keeps the cockpit temperature in check with the
top up or down. The retro stereo features an AM/FM/Bluetooth head
unit with four Memphis Audio cabin speakers and a Viper alarm. An
American Autowire wiring harness was used to support the
new-powered technology with an Optima battery and safety kill
switch located in the trunk. The exterior high-quality restoration
spared no expense, with subtle modifications such as tightened
bumpers painted to match the body, billet hood hinges, custom SS
badging, a new windshield, weatherstripping, custom headlights and
smoked taillights. This car is finished with high-gloss black PPG
paint accented by SS-style red stripes along the hood and decklid.
Ringbrothers billet door handles and side mirrors were added, along
with a set of custom black-and-chrome 20-inch U.S. Mags Rambler
wheels wrapped in Nitto Invo tires. The entire top was replaced
with a new power top setup, including shocks, hydraulic lines and a
motor, along with a black Stayfast convertible top.
