INTRODUCTION: There are other Chevelles out there, but they aren't
this one! I'm telling you, go look at a hundred- or even a thousand
of them and this car will rank right at the top. The workmanship is
exceptional, the performance is exhilarating, and the fit and
finish are simply astounding.
EXTERIOR: This one is absolutely phenomenal! Watch the video and
you'll hear the enthusiasm in my voice because this car genuinely
impressed me. Every square inch of the body is laser straight. The
panels fit beautifully, and the doors close with the solid feel of
a new car. For a more aggressive look, it has been fitted with a
steel cowl induction hood, while the side emblems were
intentionally omitted to give the body a cleaner, smoother
appearance. Refinished in Marina Blue without a vinyl top, the
paintwork is outstanding. The metallic is laid out evenly and the
finish has been polished to a literal mirror shine. From the
rockers to the roof, I couldn't find a dimple, pimple wave, or
flaw. Both the windshield and rear window have been replaced, along
with all of the weatherstrips. The chrome and trim moldings have
been replaced, and up front the grille features gray finished trim
that compliments the wheels. A matching billet set of door handles
and mirrors adds a custom touch. It's sitting on a set of Forgeline
wheels measuring 19x9 up front and 20x10 in the rear, wrapped in
performance tires that perfectly fill the wheel openings and give
this Chevelle a powerful, modern presence.
INTERIOR: The interior is just as impressive as the rest of the
car. Up front, you'll settle into a pair of custom Recaro sport
seats that provide excellent comfort and support, especially when
paired with the three point retractable seat belts that keep you
securely in place. The cabin features reproduction door panels and
matching rear upholstery, along with upgraded carpeting and
matching floor mats. A custom center console runs between the seats
and houses a touchscreen stereo with hands free capability, a
billet shifter, cup holders, and power window switches. The
instrument panel has been completely customized and fitted with a
full set of Pro-Comp gauges, providing all the information you need
at a glance. Mounted to the tilt steering column is a deluxe
removable steering wheel, similar to what you'd find in a race car,
adding both style and function. Additional custom touches include
upgraded pedals, neatly integrated air conditioning controls, and a
premium sound system featuring custom speakers with built-in
tweeters in the doors and additional speakers mounted in the rear
package shelf.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Powering this Chevelle is a supercharged LSA
that produces over 600 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque! The
6.2-liter aluminum V8 is an impressive piece of engineering,
featuring a forged steel crankshaft, powdered metal connecting
rods, aluminum pistons, a performance camshaft, sequential fuel
injection, an Eaton supercharger, and an intercooler. It's also
been upgraded with a smaller supercharger pulley to squeeze out
even more horsepower. What makes this engine especially impressive
is its dual personality. It will sit and idle smoothly and quietly,
but the moment you put your foot into it, the supercharger comes
alive and the engine sounds like an Indy race car charging down the
straightaway. Stainless steel headers help it breathe freely and
add to the incredible soundtrack. It features a custom front runner
accessory drive system with serpentine belt setup, modern
alternator, power steering, and air conditioning. It also features
power brakes. Other improvements include Aeromotive fuel delivery
system, a remote catch can and upgraded wiper motor. The air
conditioning lines are routed behind the fenders for a cleaner
appearance, and the smooth firewall creates an uncluttered
backdrop. Keeping temperatures under control is a custom aluminum
radiator and shroud assembly with dual electric fans. The engine
compartment itself is very neatly painted and detailed throughout,
and the hood is supported by a beautiful set of billet hinges.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Just like the rest of the car, the trunk
compartment is awesome. Under the deck lid and the jamb is slick, a
set of billet hinges really enhances it. Open it up and you'll find
the trunk completely boxed, upholstered, and finished with a
carpeted floor for a clean custom appearance. An access panel opens
to reveal an Optima battery secured with a billet hold down, along
with some integrated stereo equipment.
UNDERSIDE: The underside of this car is every bit as impressive as
the top. Up front, it's upgraded with fat tubular control arms, a
performance sway bar, Viking double adjustable coilover gas shocks,
and a completely rebuilt steering system. Out back is a Hotchkis
Sport Suspension setup featuring Viking double adjustable coilover
gas shocks, a swaybar, and boxed control arms with reinforcement
supports for exceptional handling and stability. A custom TIG
welded stainless exhaust system with an X-pipe and MagnaFlow
mufflers runs neatly underneath, delivering both performance and a
great sound. The brake system has been fully upgraded with Baer
disc brakes at all four wheels along with a custom e-brake
assembly. It also features a custom fuel system designed for fuel
injection, complete with a stainless steel fuel tank. Looking up at
the drivetrain, the aluminum motor is clean and detailed, equipped
with a high torque starter. Behind it is a Tremec 6-speed manual
transmission using a hydraulic clutch setup, followed by a custom
driveshaft leading back to a heavy duty Currie 9-inch rear end with
an aluminum center section and 3.73 posi gears. The floors are
immaculate- dry as a chalkboard and the chassis is equally clean,
all finished in a smooth black paint that gives the underside a
professional appearance.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every
vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for
sale.
CONCLUSION: This is the kind of build that impresses you in
pictures, but absolutely blows you away when you see it in person.
Take my sincere advice, if you don't but this one, you will be
settling for a lesser car!
