Fresh Ground Up Built Chevelle Restomod LS3/530hp V8 5-speed A/C Coilovers
As you can probably tell from our high resolution photos, this Chevelle is only double-digit miles out of a detailed, frame-off restoration that involved a full strip of its body and complete disassembly and blasting of its frame. And today, this Chevy wraps wet-looking Tuxedo Black and Antique White 2-stage around fresh trim, a functional Cowl Induction Hood and era-correct Super Sport branding. You know, the aesthetic differences between 1970 and 1971 Chevelles are minor, but we can't help but think that the latter has a bit more street fighter swagger.
CHEVROLET MUSCLE WITH CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE
For many enthusiasts, one of the most enjoyable aspects of owning 1971-1973 muscle is having people consistently underestimate your car. To be fair, the early '70s were the days when factory offerings started to bleed horsepower. But therein lies the true beauty of a first-class resto-mod like this surly Chevelle! You just MIGHT be able to see the other person's jaw drop as this Chevy's 530 horsepower LS3 crate engine comes alive under your right foot. The vaunted LS376/530 that was sourced directly from BluePrint Engines. At the front of the block, a remote Spectre filter element feeds a polished air tube, which funnels wind in to a proven GM throttle body that fronts a composite GM intake. That air meets spark in rectangular-port L92-style heads, which ride under familiar Corvette fuel rail covers. A nodular crank, powdered connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons compress that volatile union. A racing-inspired ASA cam maximizes intake efficiency through better breathing. Speaking of breathing, that smooth valvetrain funnels spent gases through coated long-tube headers. There's a lightweight aluminum radiator that's paired with a polished cap, a polished support plate, a polished expansion tank and dual electric puller fans. And, aesthetically, the car's engine bay is clean and very well sorted.
BEAUTY BELOW THE SURFACE
Part of the reason that LS3 was test-fitted multiple times was to ensure this Chevelle could be comfortably equipped with its proven Tremec TKO 5-speed. That tough gearbox is kicked by a hydraulic McLeod clutch on its way to spinning a 3.5-inch aluminum driveshaft. On the other end of that driveshaft, a trusty Ford 9-inch uses friendly, 3.50 gears to push an adjustable 4-link rear-clip. That clip, equipped with Pure Muscle control arms, a beefy sway bar and QA-1 coil-over-shocks, pushes an upgraded front-half that's finished with tubular control arms, a second large sway bar and two more QA-1 coil-overs. Power-assisted stops are provided by Wilwood, with four red calipers squeezing a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. Turns come courtesy of power-assisted steering. Great sounds emanate from large-diameter, true-dual pipes, which center throaty Pypes Street Pro mufflers between an X-shaped crossover and polished stainless tips. And everything rolls on chrome 18 & 20 inch wheels.
MODERN AMENITIES, TRADITIONAL FEEL
Check the car's Super Sport-spec interior and you'll find a familiar muscle car aesthetic that's had modern convenience integrated where it counts. The front seats are heavily bolstered units that were sourced directly from TMI, and the rear seat has been covered and stitched to match. Front and center, a monochromatic dash founds updated gauges above Bluetooth-capable RetroSound audio and components for Vintage Air conditioning. The driver enjoys the car's power through a short Hurst shifter and a reproduction Rally Wheel. And the passenger's stow essentials in a fully carpeted trunk.
When it comes to muscle cars, it's hard to go wrong with ANY classic that's named Chevelle. But how many chances do you get to purchase a Chevelle that's freshly-built, wisely modded AND genuinely unique? This cool coupe is your 530 horsepower chance to stand out in the crowd of Chevrolet royalty. Call, click or visit www.RKMotors.com for more information!
