Sporting beautiful burgundy metallic paint and a multitude of modern upgrades, it seamlessly blends classic style with contemporary performance.

Yes, that's right! This is a 1968 Chevelle that will drive and handle like a new car with a factory warranty! How can we offer this? Because all of the components are brand-new, making you feel like you're driving a classic piece of automotive history with many of the creature comforts, conveniences, and reliability of the best muscle cars of today. This Chevelle is part of our Build-It-Your-Way custom series but is one of our Fast-Track builds, ensuring delivery of the completed vehicle within just 120 days after purchase. It will be built using our proven formula, with some options selected by you, including the choice to upgrade to an automatic transmission or change the rear-end gear ratio.

At the heart of this beast lies a brand-new naturally-aspirated GM LS3 525 horsepower crate motor with Borla 8-Stack fuel injection, pairing retro looks with modern performance and adding an additional 50 horsepower for a total of 575 HP. The motor is mated to a beefy GM 6L80E 6 speed automatic transmission or a Tremec TKX 5 speed manual transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end with posi-traction, ensuring it can handle the power.

Every aspect of this Chevelle has been meticulously engineered and thought out in order to create the ultimate driver; a car that can effortlessly and comfortably drive cross-country while still having the power and handling to scare anyone in the passenger seat. The entire chassis has been removed, stripped, sandblasted, reinforced, and painted. In addition to being boxed, it now includes our performance frame bracing kit, which provides significantly-greater stiffness compared to the factory setup while being lighter than an aftermarket chassis. Upgrades include QA1 tubular upper and lower control arms, QA1 coil-over double-adjustable shocks and springs, QA1 front and rear sway bars, 12" Wilwood 6-piston front and 4-piston rear power disk brakes, and power rack and pinion steering. One prominent and unique feature is our adjustable rear shock angle mounts, allowing for 6 different mounting angles to choose from depending on the type of driving you are doing. A significant amount of new parts have been engineered and fabricated in-house to be superior to other aftermarket pieces on the market, and endless custom bracketry has been designed to ensure every component is mounted cleanly and sturdily.

This car includes several features never before seen in a vintage Chevelle, such as the available option of three different vacuum-operated exhaust modes: Sport Mode, Trailer Park Mode, and Stealth Mode. In Sport Mode, the exhaust opens up only under heavy acceleration. Trailer Park Mode keeps the exhaust constantly open and loud. Stealth Mode remains closed and quiet to avoid disturbing the neighbors. All three of these modes can be controlled via push button on the dash.
This Chevelle is equipped with Crager 15x8 rear wheels and 15x7 front wheels, offering a more classic appearance compared to most restomods. Often, restomods feature large rims and thin tires for a more modern and sporty look. However, this wheel and tire setup has been selected to provide more sidewall flex and greater comfort on rough roads, while also giving the car a meatier look combined with its aggressive, lowered stance.

Moving onto the interior, a slew of modern features and creature comforts can be found, all integrated without straying too far from the stock look. These include a video receiver featuring a backup camera, navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, a Rockford Fosgate sound system, comfortable and supportive Recaro high-back front seats, heat and air conditioning by Vintage Air, new power windows Dakota Digital HDX system gauge pack w/ digital satellite speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure, engine temp, volts, and fuel gauges, Dynamat noise and vibration insulation, extra-large LED-lit cupholders integrated into the center console, new LED Lighting, interior & exterior, Iditit tilt steering column, and magnetic wireless phone charger.

This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle offers exceptional performance and reliability, backed by a comprehensive 3-year, 36,000-mile warranty. With a powerful GM LS3 crate motor, advanced suspension and braking systems, versatile exhaust modes, and a host of modern interior features, this Chevelle provides a driving experience that is both exhilarating and comfortable.
