Details

This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle convertible is a true custom Pro-Touring Resto-Mod built by Hot Rod Service Company. It underwent an extensive 3-year, concours rotisserie nut-and-bolt full-body frame-off restoration. It's powered by a brand-new GM Performance LSX376-B15 crate engine with upgrades, pushing out 817hp and 777 ft/lbs of torque, thanks to a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger mounted to it (both professionally tuned). The engine is mated to a 4L80E 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission with a 3-clutch converter. Engine cooling is managed by a new Be Cool aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. It's built on a new modified Speedtech chassis support kit and includes a Currie Fab 9-inch rear end with a center section Truetrac, armed with an adjustable RideTech complete coilover suspension system for both front and rear. Stopping power comes from a Wilwood 4-wheel master cylinder kit with 6-piston brake calipers and 14-inch rotors in the front and rear. It features white leather TMI Pro-Series Universal Double Diamond low-back bucket seats, matching rear seating, door panels, quarter panels, floor mats, premium carpet kit, fitted Sport Trunk Kit, custom center console, 3-spoke Billet Specialties steering wheel on an Ididit tilt steering column, and a custom Sport dash pad with a Dakota Digital HDX complete gauge package with programmable instrumentation. Modern advancements include automatic keyless push-button start, proximity detection, power windows, power locks, a USB charging port, Billet Specialties interior door handles, Ringbrothers hood pins, billet hinges and a full set of Morris Classic Concepts Clear Shot V2 rectangular side mirrors. Further interior amenity enhancements consist of a Vintage Air climate-control system, as well as insulating the heat and sound with full Dynamat installed under the carpet to keep the climate comfortable and the roaring engine sound low for occupants. The retro stereo features an AM/FM/SiriusXM Bluetooth head unit connected to a complete JL Audio system, including an amplifier, two 10-inch subwoofers, and four 6-inch cabin component speakers in the front and rear. For safety, Dapper Lighting LED headlights and taillights have been installed. The car's exterior paintwork is Bentley Kingfisher Blue laid over a laser-straight body. It's accented by Pearl White SS Rally stripes along the cowl-induction hood and decklid. Completing the look, the car rides on Avant Garde 3-piece alloy wheels measuring 20x9 inches in the front and 20x11.5 inches at the rear, all wrapped in Nitto tires. The entire top has been replaced with a new power top setup, including shocks, hydraulic lines and a motor, along with a new white convertible vinyl top with a rear glass window. This is a completely new no-expense-spared build with only 25 test miles since completion.
