Body-off, rotisserie restoration that spared absolutely no expense, It was completed just over 10 years ago, this stunning Chevy features detailed, all-American aesthetics that mix traditional, mirrored accents with glossy, wet-looking 2-stage. The build began when Muscoda, Wisconsin's Ken's Klassics stripped the car's fuselage all the way to bare metal. Once that mostly-solid facade was fitted with small quarter panel patches, all body gaps and style lines were carefully massaged to uniformity. When that razor-sharp profile was fully prepped, fresh and decidedly intricate trim was augmented with modern headlights, factory mirrors, tinted glass and dual factory antennas.
Under the Hood is a LS3, thanks to the pros at Schwartz Performance, looks ALMOST as good as it runs! GM Powertrain invested a great deal of time and research into getting the most out of its Gen IV V8, and it definitely shows. Changes started with a 20% stronger casting, featuring an increased bore of 103.25mm. Focus then shifted to flow efficiency, resulting in the use of an all-new intake manifold and L92 rectangle-port heads; which Schwartz further improved with upgraded dual valve springs. Factor in ARP bolts, a new piston design, LS7 injectors, and a Schwartz-installed custom-grind cam and you get one very potent commuter that creates a stout 520 horsepower.
The well-mannered motor twists a beefy Tremec T56 Magnum, which is sandwiched between a custom steel driveshaft and hydraulic, LS7-spec clutch. That awesome gearbox spins a tough Moser 9-inch that's fitted with 3.70 gears, a proven Truetrac differential and beefy, 31-spline axles. That Ford-inspired pumpkin is an integral part of a sturdy Schwartz Performance G-Machine chassis, which backs splined, racing-style sway bars with adjustable Ridetech coil-overs. Modern power rack-and-pinion steering provides tracking. Quick stops are a cinch thanks to Baer 6-piston calipers, which utilize a quality Wilwood master cylinder to squeeze 14-inch Baer Pro+ rotors. Coated, Mandrel-bent exhaust pipes route spent gases through an X-shaped crossover and coated turbo mufflers.
Inside you'll find a custom leather cockpit that was installed by Steve Holcomb of Knoxville, Tennessee's Pro Auto Interior. Top dead center, a matte-finished dash frames slick carbon fiber-look telemetry. Opposite that dash, '64 Impala buckets frame a custom console that balances a familiar Hurst shifter between full power windows, Vintage Air climate control and Kenwood Excelon infotainment. Beneath that console, clean California Carpet floats piped and color-keyed floor mats beneath custom side panels and a custom package tray. In front of the driver, a tilting Ididit column spins a traditional Impala wheel. Behind the passengers, a leather-lined trunk hides the car's relocated battery. And, in addition to being wrapped in quality Dynamat insulation, the attractive cab features GPS and a full security system.
