INTRODUCTION: This Chevelle checks all the boxes: a 496 stroker big block, 5-speed manual, air conditioning, and a fresh frame-off restoration with less than 25 miles since completion. It's going to draw a crowd and earn compliments wherever it goes, yet it's not so over restored that you'll be afraid to get behind the wheel. This is a muscle car that begs to be driven and enjoyed.
EXTERIOR: This Chevelle makes a stunning first impression. The body is clean, and free of rust or damage, topped with the iconic SS domed hood. It's finished in beautiful LeMans Blue using PPG basecoat/clearcoat, polished to a gloss finish. The fresh vinyl top and correct SS side stripes perfectly complement the paint. All of the chrome, stainless trim, and weatherstrips have been restored or replaced. Even the glass has all been replaced and has a light smoke tint. It rides on a modern 17-inch billet interpretation of the SS wheels, wrapped in performance tires that enhance both the stance and driving experience while maintaining the classic muscle car look.
INTERIOR: It was essentially gutted and restored from scratch. It features an American Autowire wiring harness with a modern fuse panel, all new reproduction door panels and armrests, and recushioned and reupholstered seats. A new center console houses the upgraded 5-speed shifter with a billet handle. The floor is covered in fresh carpet with embroidered mats and a complete set of GM reproduction seat belts. The dash has been restored with a new dash pad, instrument panel, knobs, and vents, then upgraded with a beautiful set of Dakota Digital VHX gauges. A tilt column with a genuine rosewood steering wheel, retro-style stereo, Nu-Relics power windows, new headliner and visors, and working dome lights complete this clean, fresh, and functional interior.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: At the heart of this Chevelle is a big block 454 that's been bored and stroked to 496, producing a healthy 500 horsepower! Built with Mahle pistons, a Comp cam, aluminum heads, an Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake, MSD ignition, and coated headers. The engine is beautifully dressed with chrome accessories, including a mini A/C compressor, modern alternator, billet brackets, and a serpentine pulley system. It also features power steering with a remote reservoir, power brakes, and an Optima battery with spring-clamp cables. It runs cool with a Cold Case aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. The presentation is exceptionally clean, with neatly routed hoses and wiring, fresh painted metal surfaces, a new wiper motor, functional washer squirters, and premium billet hood hinges that complete the detailed, show quality engine compartment.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and inside the jamb are painted as slick as the exterior, complete with new weatherstrips and reproduction decals. Open it up and you'll find a clean, fully boxed and carpeted trunk compartment.
UNDERSIDE: This Chevelle received a body off restoration- the chassis has been completely rebuilt, restored, and detailed, with excellent floors finished in black and a clean, freshly painted frame. It features front coilover adjustable gas shocks, front and rear sway bars, boxed rear control arms, and Bilstein gas shocks in back. The steering and suspension have been completely rebuilt. Stopping power comes from a Wilwood brake system with drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four wheels, along with all new lines, hoses, and emergency brake cables. The fuel system has been replaced, including the tank and a Holley electric fuel pump. A custom stainless steel exhaust with a crossover pipe, Holley electric cutouts, Flowmaster mufflers, and correct SS cowbell tips gives it an aggressive sound. Looking up at the drivetrain, you'll find an extra capacity oil pan, a PowerMaster high-torque starter, and a Tremec TKX 5-speed transmission. A Denny's driveshaft delivers the power to a 12-bolt 3.73 posi rear end with a chrome cover. This undercarriage is exceptionally clean, detailed, and upgraded where it counts.
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: Imagine it's you behind the wheel, shifting through the gears, hearing that 496 stroker growl, and watching heads turn everywhere you go. This Chevelle delivers the looks, the sound, and the driving experience every muscle car enthusiast dreams about!
