INTRODUCTION: This is a high end build with exceptional
craftsmanship, fit, and finish throughout. Every detail was
carefully considered, resulting in a Chevelle that looks every bit
as good as it performs. The custom interior, stunning blue paint,
modern chassis, and premium components all come together to create
a car that commands attention wherever it goes. It can proudly hold
its own at any car show, yet it's built to be enjoyed on the road.
Only 2,230 miles on the body off frame build.
EXTERIOR: The fit and finish of this Chevelle are phenomenal!
Starting with an outstanding California body, it is absolutely
laser straight from end to end with precise fitting panels
throughout. I did not find any rust, bubbles, damage, or signs of
repair. Finished in an opulent shade of blue, the paint has
tremendous depth and richness with a metallic brilliance that comes
alive in the sunlight. It's polished like glass from the rockers to
the roof, creating reflections that seem to go on forever. The
chrome and moldings have been replaced, the weatherstrips are new,
and all of the glass has been replaced with smoked glass for a
sleek custom appearance. The SS hood adds the perfect muscle car
attitude while complementing the modern performance theme of the
build. Finishing off the stance is a set of impressive 18-inch
Forgeline two piece wheels wrapped in high-performance Michelin
Pilot Sport tires, with extra-wide rubber in the rear for an
aggressive planted look.
INTERIOR: The custom interior is nothing short of remarkable! It's
every bit as high end looking as it is comfortable, with a design
that feels both modern and well integrated into the classic
Chevelle. A full length custom center console runs from front to
back, creating a true four passenger environment with four matching
bucket seats. Each seat features contoured sport styling with blue
accent stitching, while the seat backs are wrapped in a carbon
fiber style material that adds a contemporary performance look. The
center console is both functional and stylish, housing cup holders,
a padded armrest, and a Vintage style shifter. The dashboard has
been completely restored and upgraded with Dakota Digital VHX
gauges illuminated in blue, modern electric slide controls operate
the heating and a/c system, while a retro style Bluetooth stereo
head unit provides modern convenience without sacrificing the
classic appearance. The custom audio system features an AutoSound
equalizer, a 3-inch dash speaker pod, Rockford Fosgate 6.5-inch
kick panel speakers with tweeters, 6x9 speakers in the rear, and a
pair of 10-inch subwoofers for deep bass. The sculpted door panels
are beautifully designed and fitted with custom door handles and
integrated power window switches. A custom rear speaker shelf was
designed to match the overall interior theme, and even the
headliner was custom crafted to complement the design. It also
features custom carpet and a deluxe wheel on a tilt column.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is beautifully detailed and packed with high
quality components. At the heart of it is a GM Performance LS3
crate engine, an all aluminum 6.2-liter fuel-injected powerhouse
producing 525 horsepower. The engine has been dressed up with
chrome covers that resemble traditional valve covers, giving it a
refined custom look. The front of the engine is outfitted with
polished accessories including a March Performance front runner
system with serpentine pulleys, brackets, air conditioning
compressor, and alternator. A custom air intake tube and Hooker
Super Competition ceramic coated headers help the LS3 breathe while
adding to the engine bay's impressive appearance. A hydroboost
braking system with braided stainless steel hoses provides both
power steering and power brakes. Cooling is handled by a polished
aluminum radiator complete with an overflow tank and dual electric
fans to keep temperatures in check. The engine bay itself is
finished in the same stunning blue as the exterior, creating a
seamless presentation throughout the car. Additional custom touches
include billet hood hinges, Wilwood master cylinder and a Newport
Engineering wiper motor.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is every bit as impressive as the rest of
this custom Chevelle. It has been professionally boxed,
upholstered, and finished with a modern custom design. Even the
underside of the trunk lid and the hinges have been upholstered.
Blue LED lighting provides a subtle glow that highlights the custom
workmanship and gives it a show car feel. The stereo equipment and
gel battery with a disconnect has been cleverly concealed behind
the custom panels, keeping the installation clean and
uncluttered.
UNDERSIDE: This Chevelle underwent a full body off frame
restoration, and the underside reflects the same level of quality
as the rest of the build. The frame has been powder coated, while
the floors were protected with color matched Raptor liner for
durability and a clean custom appearance. Up front, it features
tubular control arms, adjustable coilover gas shocks, and a custom
sway bar. Out back is a Detroit Speed 4-link system with tubular
lower and adjustable upper control arms, coilover adjustable gas
shocks, and a rear sway bar. The steering has been upgraded with a
quick ratio CPP steering box for a much more responsive feel.
Stopping power comes from a Wilwood brake system featuring massive
6-piston calipers in front, 4-piston calipers in back, and drilled
and slotted rotors at all four corners. It also has a custom
emergency brake assembly. The fuel system was completely replaced
and upgraded to support the fuel-injected drivetrain. A great
sounding dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers runs
underneath the car. Looking up at the aluminum engine, you'll find
an extra capacity oil pan and a high torque starter. Behind it is a
GM crate 4L70E overdrive automatic transmission equipped with a
remote finned aluminum oil cooler. Power is transferred through a
new driveshaft to a powder coated Moser 12-bolt rear end featuring
3.73 posi gears and an aluminum girdle support cover. From front to
back, this chassis is exceptionally well engineered and beautifully
detailed.
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: I really do look at thousands of cars, and this one
ranks among the very best. The quality of the build, attention to
detail, and thoughtful blend of performance, comfort, and style
make it stand out. From its show stopping appearance to its modern
drivability, this Chevelle delivers an ownership experience few
cars can match.
