INTRODUCTION: This Super Chevy magazine feature car received a
complete high end body-off-frame, show quality restoration built
with one goal in mind: winning trophies while still being able to
hit the streets and enjoy. The builder was at a car show
contemplating his next project when he overheard someone say, "You
can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Camaro." Right then and
there, he decided he wanted to build something different and he
absolutely did.
EXTERIOR: What a unique and amazing looking car- there's simply not
another one like it! Those giant body panels have been worked
absolutely smooth and laser straight. The emblems, trim, marker
lights, door handles, and even the trunk lock have all been shaved
for an ultra clean look. Without a vinyl top, the body becomes one
giant red mirror, and the paint is polished like glass. Of course,
the bumpers were rechromed, and the doors open remotely for an
extra custom touch. The jambs are slick, the weatherstrips were
replaced, and the doors shut with the feel of a new car. Thanks to
the air ride suspension and digital controller inside, you can dial
in the stance exactly how you want it. It's all sitting on a
fantastic looking set of Devious wheels; 18s in front and 20s in
back wrapped in performance Pirelli tires that complete the look
perfectly.
INTERIOR: Stitch by Stitch did an incredible job creating this
custom interior. Not only is the design outstanding, but the
workmanship is equally impressive. They claim only the highest
quality cowhides were used, and they must have gone through several
because just about everything is wrapped in soft leather. The
seats, side panels, even the plastic seat back and lower covers are
upholstered in leather. They even wrapped the seat belt retractor
covers in leather. The custom sculpted door panels are fully
leather wrapped, and the dash pad is upholstered to match. The
seats are extremely comfortable, each featuring folding armrest
cushions, and the front seat is power operated. Down on the floor
is premium German weave carpet with matching mats. And don't let
the big shifter sticking through the floor fool you- that's an
automatic, not a stick shift. The stereo system is fully integrated
with speakers molded into the door panels and rear shelf, along
with tweeters blended throughout the interior. It also features a
deluxe steering wheel on a tilt column. First class, baby!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Right here is something very special: a Larry
Mollicone built 530 big block (look him up) pumping out an
incredible 709 horsepower and 685 lbs of torque! Built to perform,
it features 4-bolt mains, a stroked Kings crankshaft, Comp solid
lifter cam, roller rockers, Dart aluminum heads, a smoothed
aluminum intake, giant dual-feed carburetor, electronic ignition,
and coated headers. It's also loaded with premium features
including air conditioning, power steering, and a Hydroboost power
brake system with a Wilwood master cylinder. An upgraded Newport
Engineering wiper motor has been installed along with a remote oil
filter, and a Powermaster alternator. It runs cool thanks to an
aluminum radiator paired with a polished overflow bottle. The
engine bay itself is beautifully detailed with a smoothed firewall
and slick red paint on all the metal surfaces and polished hardware
throughout. It's a beauty and a beast!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Whoa, look what we have here! The trunk
compartment is completely boxed and upholstered with a big emphasis
on showcasing the custom stereo system. It features massive Kicker
subwoofers with color matched grilles, along with matching Kicker
amplifiers mounted neatly into the floor. Open the forward
compartment and you'll find the stereo unit and CD changer tucked
away cleanly inside. Each side compartment houses a gel battery
along with additional stereo equipment. Under the trunk lid and in
the jamb, the paint is just as slick and glossy as the rest of the
car. Even the trunk itself opens remotely from the key fob, adding
another custom touch to this impressive setup.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame during the restoration, and
the underside was fully rebuilt, detailed, and upgraded. The clean,
solid metal floors are painted gloss red, while the chassis and
suspension components are finished in black for a sharp contrast.
Up front, it has reinforced control arms, rebuilt steering, gas
shocks, and an Air Ride Technologies air ride system. In back, it
is also upgraded with air ride, gas shocks, a Panhard bar, rear
sway bar, and disc brakes at all four wheels. It has a fully custom
SpinTech stainless exhaust system with 3-inch oval pipes tucked up
neatly, exiting through turned-down tips. The fuel system was
replaced and includes a sump, fuel pump, and inline filter. Looking
up at the motor, it has a high-torque starter, extra capacity
finned oil pan, and a skid plate for protection. It also has a
matching finned flywheel cover, Turbo 400 automatic, custom 4-inch
aluminum driveshaft, and a 12-bolt rear end with 3.36 posi gears
and a finned aluminum cover.
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 service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: Anybody who looks closely at this car will immediately
recognize this is not a cost cutting or sloppy build. It's
refinement and craftsmanship in every aspect. I think most
enthusiasts- especially the ones who truly know these cars- would
agree it would cost at least double, maybe triple, what we're
asking to duplicate it today. Here's your chance to own an
exceptional build at a great value, and best of all, it's ready to
enjoy right now!
