Details

A fresh restoration with test miles only this 1970 Pro-Touring Chevelle received a high-dollar custom build with modern technology throughout. Power comes from a modern electronically fuel-injected Chevy LS2 V8 engine mated to a TREMEC TKX 5-speed manual transmission linked to a custom-made 3-inch driveshaft and a Currie 9-inch rear end fitted with 3.50 posi-traction gears. The LS2 has been enhanced with a Holley Performance Low-Ram intake manifold, Holley Performance fuel rails with 42-pound injectors, Holley Performance 102mm throttle body and a Holley Performance Mid-Mount complete accessory drive system. The fuel system consists of a Scott's Hot Rods custom made fuel tank with an in-tank fuel pump and Fore Innovations fuel lines and connectors. Spent gases exit through a set of Hooker high-performance exhaust manifolds connected to a full stainless-steel custom exhaust. Cooled by a Cold Case radiator system with fan shroud. Controlling everything is a Holley Performance Terminator X stand-alone engine management system. This Chevelle is set up for Pro-Touring with Viking coilovers front and rear, QMI sway bars and QMI tubular control arms. It has also been mini-tubbed with a modified chassis to accommodate the fatter rear wheel/tire setup. Braking is courtesy of Wilwood 6-piston Forged DynaPro 6 big brake kit up front and Wilwood Forged Dynalite brakes in the rear. Aiding the already ample stopping power is a Wilwood master cylinder. The inside features a full TMI interior with sport buckets and matching rear seat, Sport R door panels, rear panels, and center console. It also has a Dakota Digital dash, TMI suede-style headliner and visors, and a TMI full-bound carpet kit completes the interior. It is stunningly finished in Destroyer Gray with black stripes, has color-matched bumpers and trim along with a Ringbrothers outside mirror. Other niceties include Vintage Air, LED Halo headlamps and taillamps, a Raingear hidden wiper system mounted on a smoothed firewall, and shaved front and rear marker lights. This Chevelle rides on Rocket Racing wheels wrapped in Nitto tires measuring 18 inches up front and 20 inches in the rear.
