1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Restomod Hardtop 540 V8 5 Speed Manual Classic Vintag

Description

Looking for unrivaled power and vintage automotive charm with an assortment of modern conveniences close at hand? This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Restomod has you covered. It's logged fewer than 3000 since its restoration, which includes the installation of a world class drivetrain anchored by a big block engine whose output has to be experienced to be believed. Luckily, this exceptional classic comes with a dyno sheet as back up for its abilities, as well as build receipts to document... its awesome transformation. The exterior of this Chevelle is clad in Velocity red - as fitting a shade as there could be for a car with so much power on hand, it makes speed second nature. A PPG product, it combines with a strong clearcoat over the top to produce a great "wet" look and the subtle flake in its texture really makes things come alive when this muscle car - in the truest sense of the word - basks in the sun. The pair of broad, rose gold stripes running the lengths of its hood and deck lid really add a special detail, as do the added LED headlights and sequential taillights. The chrome bumpers look great and sit well aligned with their surrounding metal and the array of "SS" badging that denotes this Chevelle's upper class status even as it left the factory decades ago really pops out at you. Rounding things out, the glass surrounding the cabin is also in very good form and the rubber seals entrusted with keeping the elements out all look nice and fresh. Climb inside and you'll see as impressive an example of a muscle car interior dressed out in restomod form as you're likely to come across. This is a very well-planned, comfortable and functional driving environment. The front bucket seats originated in a modern Impala and look great in this setting - combining fresh looking leather surfaces with modern power adjustability. A great looking dash area lies just beyond the steering wheel mounted on its tilt column, featuring a complete assortment of white-faced gauges recessed seamlessly into the instrument cluster and a new-looking dash pad on top. Audio options are plentiful - the AM/FM/CD player at the center of the dash also offers iPod connectivity. Keeping the interior comfortable will be no problem - a Vintage Air system was added recently to ably cool the cabin. The trunk area in back has just the ultra-clean look you'd expect based on the rest of the car, with a spare and jack standing by and a pair of fresh inner wheelhouses in plain view. When you drop a 502 cubic inch crate engine into the bay, you'd rightfully expect some serious power to be at your disposal, but when said engine has been bored out to 540 cubic inches, then armed with Merlin heads and an Edelbrock ProFlow 3 fuel injection system ..."power" takes on a whole new meaning. This exceptional motor churns out 599 horsepower and a full 616 lb. ft. of torque - seemingly astronomical numbers, but ones backed by a dyno sheet. A 5-speed manual Tremec TKO600 - one of the few transmissions that could logically be trusted with handling such an output, sits close behind. Power disc brakes at all four corners provide ample stopping ability, while smooth power steering combines with the 3.55 posi rear end - whose ratio is well suited to the transmission's overdrive gearing - while it sends surefooted power to the pavement. This exceptionally equipped Chevy sits on a set of 20" Legend Series wheels. With its outstanding array of top tier components and modern amenities combined with world class curb appeal, this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Restomod will make some discerning enthusiast very, very happy.
