INTRODUCTION: This car is absolutely incredible! I say that about a
lot of cars, but this one takes it to another level. The mirror
finish black with white stripes and interior along with the big
chrome wheels and redline tires, makes for a stunning combination.
It was recently given a body off frame, rotisserie restoration.
EXTERIOR: It has an aggressive stance with an upscale look that's
guaranteed to turn heads. Looking closer, the quality is just as
impressive. The California body is laser beam straight with
outstanding panel fit, and the doors shut like new. There isn't a
pimple, dimple, or ripple to be found. The paint is polished like
glass- I swear you could read a phone book in its reflection. The
white SS stripes are painted on and smooth to the touch, and even
the door jambs are finished to the same slick, glossy standard. The
weatherstrips, window seals, and vinyl top have all been replaced,
while the tinted glass adds to the sleek appearance. It appears
that most, if not all, of the chrome and trim has been replaced or
restored. A neatly integrated front spoiler gives it a subtle
performance look, and the staggered polished wheels really complete
the package. It rides on what appear to be 18 inch wheels up front
and 20 inch wheels in back, wrapped in performance tires with
custom redlines that perfectly complement the car's appearance.
INTERIOR: The white interior really pops against the black
exterior! The seats have been recushioned and reupholstered, and
they're finished with new headrests. The door panels, window
cranks, handles, armrests, and ashtrays have been replaced. The
dash has been completely restored and tastefully upgraded with
modern gauges, electronic slide Vintage Air controls, and a retro
style stereo. Up above, the crisp white headliner and sun visors
look excellent, complemented by a new rearview mirror and a working
dome light. Down below, it features a reproduction center console,
fresh, fresh carpet, embroidered Chevelle floor mats, and a tilt
steering column topped with a great looking Billet Specialties
steering wheel.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine compartment is purposefully upgraded
around a completely rebuilt 396 V8, bored .030 over for added
performance. It features a high-rise aluminum intake, dual-feed
Holley carburetor, HEI ignition, and a set of coated headers for
improved power and reliability. The front of the engine is
outfitted with a serpentine belt system using billet brackets and
pulleys, along with polished air conditioning compressor and
alternator. It also has power steering and power brakes for
effortless driving. An aluminum radiator with dual electric fans
keeps temperatures in check, while tasteful finishing touches like
tall aluminum valve covers and billet hood hinges give the engine
bay a clean appearance.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and in the jamb, the finish
is just as glossy as the black exterior. A new weatherstrip
provides a tight seal. Inside, the metal is exceptionally clean and
finished with the correct spatter paint. The battery has been
relocated to the trunk, giving the engine a less cluttered
look.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame and placed on a
rotisserie, allowing the clean California sheet metal to be prepped
and finished in glossy black. The suspension was completely rebuilt
with several performance upgrades. Up front are tubular upper and
lower control arms, a larger sway bar, and all new springs, shocks,
bushings, and ball joints. In back, it features heavy duty lower
control arms, adjustable upper control arms, a larger rear sway
bar, and new shocks for improved handling. The entire brake system
has been replaced and upgraded with four wheel disc brakes, along
with a new emergency brake assembly, brake lines, and hoses. A
stainless steel dual exhaust system with an X-pipe and Flowmaster
mufflers delivers a deep, aggressive sound. The entire fuel system
has also been replaced. Looking up at the drivetrain, you'll find
an extra capacity oil pan and a high torque starter on the engine,
a Turbo 400 automatic transmission fitted with a TCI finned
aluminum extra capacity pan, a rebuilt driveshaft, and a 12-bolt
rear end.

CONCLUSION: Warning: If you don't like compliments or attention,
don't buy this car! Everywhere it goes, people are going to notice.
Whether you're filling up at the gas station, pulling into a local
cruise night, or parking at an ice cream shop, this Chevelle is
going to steal the spotlight. If that's the kind of ownership
experience you're after, this one delivers in a big way.
