For one, t's got a thundering 427 cubic inch V8, big block that's backed by an upgraded suspension, -wheel disc brakes, nd some pretty cool rolling stock. No, his isn't your garden-variety Chevelle.We'll admit that painting it bright red wasn't the best way to keep a low profile, ut when the car looks this good, ho's complaining? It's probably a bit brighter than anything Chevy was using back in the '60s, nd thanks to modern paint technology, t'll look great for years to come. None of the Chevelle's awesome original styling was altered, o you get flying buttresses, hose cool hood inserts, nd a few well-placed SS badges just to make a point. They wisely left off any indicators of what lives under the hood, ecause even in red you don't need to beat people over the head with your horsepower superiority, nd they'll be too busy admiring the great bodywork to worry about it until it's too late. Both doors fit well, he hood and deck lid close without a lot of effort, nd clearly someone invested heavily in the chrome and stainless trim, ecause it looks fantastic. A black vinyl top adds a bit of sophistication and has also been replaced so it looks like new.The black bucket seat is likewise beautifully restored and updated in only the most subtle ways. Upscale-looking seat covers wrap around the front and rear seats, nd with a center console equipped with a built-in clock, t looks very grown-up inside. The steering wheel is a correct-looking 3-spoke OEM unit that frames the original gauges, hich amount to a wide speedometer and a fuel gauge, nd the bright chrome shifter is linked to a Richmond 4-speed, ust as the General intended. New carpets, oor panels, nd other soft parts give it an almost new vibe inside, nd it's been upgraded with modern A/C components to keep it cool and an AM/FM/iPod stereo for easy cruising. The trunk area is pretty bare bones, ut then again, spare tire only adds weight, nd after you see what's under the hood you'll understand better.The aforementioned big block is a genuine 4-bolt 3855270 casting used on the legendary L88 and L72 and it's been built for combat. With all forged internals, set of 3931063 heads, n LS6 intake manifold, nd a big Holley up top, t makes some pretty serious horsepower figures. Rebuilt about 300 miles ago, t runs superbly and is only just broken in, o it's ready to prowl the streets next Friday. There's an aluminum pulley system up front, pair of Hedman headers, Griffin 4-core radiator, nd a big 160 amp alternator, o you'll never really have to worry about standing on it in combat. The Super T10 4-speed powers a 12-bolt rear with 3.55 gears and Moser axles inside, o it won't even blink at the major torque churning through the driveline. A full Hotchkiss suspension makes this vintage A-body feel a lot more athletic than you'd expect and lowers it by 1.5 inches, o it looks wicked just sitting still. Massive 6-piston Wilwood discs live behind each of those 17-inch Budnik wheels, hich are cleverly designed to look like vintage Rallys and carry low-profile performance rubber.This resto-mod Chevelle was built for crusing or combat. If you want to rule the streets and take home some awards at the local crusie nights, ick up the phone and do something about it. Call today!
