INTRODUCTION: Professionally built from the frame up by Creative
Restomods in California, this is one impressive pro-touring
Chevelle! I'm extremely impressed with the fit, finish, and
function of this car. I think it's absolutely gorgeous, and
everything about it just feels right. It's obviously going to turn
heads wherever it goes, but the real enjoyment comes from getting
behind the wheel.
EXTERIOR: Absolutely excellent body! It is arrow straight. I
couldn't find a dimple, pimple, dent, or wave anywhere from the
rockers to the roof. The body is exceptionally smooth, all the gaps
are square and flush, and the doors shut like a new car. Painted in
beautiful Cortez Silver, the metallic is laid out evenly and the
clear coat has been polished to a smooth, high gloss finish. Even
the black stripes are smooth to the touch. It looks like all the
chrome and stainless trim have been replaced, and everything is
shiny and straight. It features original-style T3 headlights. The
windshield was replaced, along with all the weatherstrips and
seals. It looks fantastic sitting on a new set of polished 18-inch
Alloy Creations wheels wrapped in performance tires, a little wider
in back for that perfect muscle car stance.
INTERIOR: Man, not only is it attractive, but it's comfortable too!
Custom sport bucket seats are power operated on both sides, and the
rear seat is upholstered to match. So are the custom door panels.
The dash has been reupholstered, along with the visors and
headliner, giving the entire interior a beautifully coordinated
look. The custom fabricated rear shelf houses speakers, with
additional speakers built into the custom center console. The
console also features a factory style horseshoe shifter, cup
holder, and touchscreen infotainment system with a microphone for
hands-free use. A Billet Specialties steering wheel complements the
completely custom instrument panel, featuring a great looking set
of gauges that illuminate red. It also has electric slide Vintage
Air climate controls, deluxe red carpeting, all new seat belts, and
billet handles.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It's powered by a potent 6.0-liter LS2 V8,
bored .030 over and upgraded with an Edelbrock Pro-Flo XT injection
and Doug Thorley headers. The result is over 400hp! A blacked out
serpentine front runner system includes a mini A/C compressor,
modern alternator, and power steering. It also features power
brakes with a polished master cylinder. An aluminum radiator with
dual electric fans keeps things cool, while a custom polished
cold-air intake adds some eye appeal. The coil pack covers
complement the Edelbrock intake and front filler panel for a
coordinated look. The custom firewall gives the engine bay a
smooth, clean appearance. All the surfaces are neatly painted, with
wiring and components thoughtfully hidden. A very clean,
uncluttered engine compartment that looks as impressive as the rest
of the car!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the lid and in the jamb, it's painted
slick and glossy like the exterior, with replaced weatherstripping.
Inside is completely boxed and upholstered in red with contrasting
black side panels that open for additional storage. The trunk was
first lined with sound deadener and finished with a neatly carpeted
floor. A sharp, thoughtfully designed trunk compartment that
complements the custom interior!
UNDERSIDE: Just as impressive underneath! The frame has been powder
coated Viper Red, creating a sharp contrast against the clean metal
floors, neatly painted black. The suspension has been extensively
upgraded for modern handling and performance. Up front, it features
QA1 adjustable coilover gas shocks, tubular control arms, a
heavy-duty sway bar, and a quick-ratio steering box. In back, it
has QA1 adjustable gas shocks, 2-inch lowering springs, UMI control
arms, and a sway bar. The braking system has been upgraded with CPP
drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four wheels, including a
functional emergency brake. A custom dual exhaust with Wicked Flow
stainless mufflers delivers an aggressive sound. The fuel system
has been upgraded to accommodate the electronic fuel injection.
Looking up at the motor, it's clean and features a Holley oil pan
and high-torque starter. The 4L70E overdrive automatic transmission
sends power to a 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gears, a Truetrac
differential, and a Moser girdle cover. A beautifully detailed
underside with serious upgrades to back up those great looks!
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: Remember, I look at an awful lot of cars, especially
pro-touring builds, and I think this one is exceptional! I'm
genuinely impressed with the quality, fit, finish, and overall
execution. The next owner should be very excited and proud to own
it. With its modern performance, handling, and comfort, this is a
classic you can proudly show off and thoroughly enjoy driving!
