This car is flat out rowdy! Detailed body off frame, rotisserie restoration. Done as a Restomod meaning it's restored to look stock, but it has some very nice upgrades. How about a ZZ454 generating 469 horsepower. Add in a 5-speed manual trans and you have the perfect combination for an exhilarating drive. Be the king of the streets in the super quick and super sharp Chevelle. The words naughty and nice perfectly sum this car up!

EXTERIOR: It's nicer than it was in '71, I can tell you that! The body is absolutely straight and fits real nicely. It has the iconic cowl induction hood with the functional flapper door. The paint is smooth all the way down to the rockers and the Nevada Silver metal flake is laid out evenly. The clear coat is polished like glass and the SS stripes are even smooth to the touch. Allthe chrome and stainless is sparkling on the car. The stainless trim around the windows is polished, emblems replaced etc. The weatherstrip, lenses and vinyl top were replaced. The glass has even all been replaced. It is on a set of 15 inch SS wheels and BFGoodrich tires that look new.

INTERIOR: As I sit in this car and look around I can't help to think it looks practically brand new! It's also optioned out very well. Starting at the bottom the carpets look fresh and it has reproduction floor mats. The Hurst shifter looks stock but it's actually a five-speed! It has a complete set of original seat belts front and back and very good shape. The seats and headrests are completely reupholstered. The side panels, armrests, window cranks have all been replaced. In front of me is a pristine looking dash with the full set of gauges including a tachometer, the clock even works. It has a factory AM/FM stereo that works too. The heater control panel and the vents have been replaced. Overhead is a new tight fitting headliner with matching visors, a working dome light and the shoulder belts are in place. The mirror looks new.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: That's a ZZ454 GM performance crate engine making about 465 hp. It has aluminum GM heads and intake, and a dual feed Holley carburetor is hiding under the functional cowl induction air cleaner assembly. It also has headers and HEI ignition. The factory air conditioning system has been fully serviced and updated. It also has power steering and power brakes with a cadmium plated booster. The Delco battery topper with spring clamp cables looks factory. It even has reproduction hoses and clamps, valve covers, stickers and hood insulation. All the metal surfaces are painted smoothly.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Very clean and complete under the trunk lid and in the jamb are painted slick. It has reproduction decals, weatherstrip, and trunk mat. It also has a jack and spare assembly.

UNDERSIDE: Body off frame, rotisserie restored. The frame was powder coated. It has the F-41 suspension, it's been completely rebuilt and includes swaybars front and back and rear box control arms. The steering has also been completely rebuilt. The brake system has been redone including replaced lines, hoses and e-brake cables. Upgraded with disc at all four wheels. The fuel system was also replaced including the tank and lines. It has a custom dual exhaust with crossover pipe, Flowmaster mufflers and SS tips. Looking up at the motor it is spotless Chevy Orange and has a high torque starter. Upgraded with a Tremec 5-speed manual trans and a hydraulic clutch. The rebuilt driveshaft leads back to a 12 bolt rear with 3.73 posi gears. The floors, braces and rockers are clean metal painted a smooth semi-gloss black.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

An absolutely gnarly ride! This knockout car that has been painstakingly restored with original vintage looks and some killer performance upgrades. It is very dialed in and ready to be driven anywhere. Truly an iconic image of American muscle car history!
