Roadster Shop Built Chevelle Restomod 635hp 7.0L LS V8 6-speed Leather A/C
A full custom build by the Roadster Shop in Mundelein, Illinois, this fully custom 1970 Chevelle is the brainchild of a dedicated car enthusiast in pursuit of the baddest Chevelle on street. The search came to an end when he commissioned Roadster Shop to begin their magic. “They are building the most innovative and highest performance muscle cars around by far. I didn't even call another shop.” There is no improvement to be had for the lines of a 1970 Chevelle, so the goal was to simply make it low, menacing, and a force to be reckoned with
Roadster Shop's Fast Track chassis is a stout unit to say the least and is highly regarded as the best performance chassis money can buy. Designed for strength and performance to exceedingly bring ride and performance into the 21st century while keeping everything underneath just above rocker panel height, ensuring a clean, sanitary look. RS includes tubular control arms, 4-link, a splined 1.25-inch diameter front antisway bar and Penske double-adjustable coil over shocks at each corner. The 'rails are relocated inward to readily receive a massive 345-section tire. Billet C6 spindles (and ZO6 hubs) are directed by a quick-ratio rack steering system. It was the clear winner for this type of build.
Braking is supplied by a set of Wilwood 13-inch discs, six-piston calipers in front and 12-inch, four-caliper units in the rear. The tires and wheels are Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, 305/30 and 345/30, on Lexani forged 19x10 & 20x13.
In the matter of acceleration, a 427-cubic-inch LS3 from Turn Key Engine Supply was selected. The bottom end spins a 4340 crankshaft and forged H-beam connecting rods, and Mahle forged pistons fitted to 70cc LS3 heads, yielding a compression ratio of 10.7:1. Specs for the hydraulic roller cam are proprietary, but the system maintains 5/16-inch pushrods, a 1.7:1 rocker arm ratio, double valve springs, and chromoly retainers.
Induction is composed of an Edelbrock intake manifold and a FAST injector drawing through a mechanical 90mm throttle body. The system is fed by a Rick's/Vaporworks CTS-V fuel pump and dressed with Wegner Motorsports billet rocker covers and billet serpentine accessory drive system. RS fabricated exhaust with stainless-coated 1 7/8-inch primaries plumbed into 3-inch stainless steel pipes and Borla XR-1 mufflers. The exhaust terminates at the center-exit in the custom-built bumper. Cooling is handled by a Ron Davis aluminum radiator and Vintage Air HVAC system. To contain the output of the 7.0-liter engine, a complete Centerforce system—flywheel, Dual Friction 10.5-inch discs, and pressure plate—and a Tremec T-56 Magnum stuck to a Quick Time bellhousing were chosen. An estimated 635 hp and 580 lb-ft of torque ends up at the Strange Engineering 9-inch, which was fitted with a Truetrac differential and 3.90:1 gears.
Inside, the fully custom approach continues with modern styled bucket seats, a sleek, fluid console; and a rear bench seat that matches the fronts—all of it swathed in leather. The headliner is expertly stretched in suede-like Alcantara. A completely overhauled dash hangs a full color gauge display, a touch screen stereo, and trick perimeter lighting. All that black silence is shattered by a Jenson head unit, an Alpine amplifier, and Alpine SPS 6-inch speakers in front and 6x9s in the rear.
We like the Chevelle's appearance. It doesn't broadcast; it emanates and is something in which the Roadster Shop excels. The basic form is unaltered, enhanced by subtle but meaningful modification. Underneath that hood bulge, RS smoothed the firewall but notched it softly to pocket the windshield wiper motor. They extended the inner fenders to better accommodate the RS upper control arms and to frame the engine.
Up front, Roadster Shop constructed a chin spoiler, tucked the bumper, and filled the center to smooth the expanse to make the car appear wider. In the rear, they narrowed and tucked the bumper and built a custom roll pan to accept the supercar-esque center exhaust exit. The smooth profile is draped in PPG Audi Lava Gray anointed with offset ghost graphics.
