Details

This custom-built Goodguys award-winning Pro-Touring 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle was the recipient of a frame-off nut-and-bolt restoration that was completed in March 2022. It features custom bodywork, subtle tweaks and Marina Blue paint with Mother of Pearl. Riding on a narrowed, reinforced and fully painted custom chassis, the Chevelle is powered by a 427ci LS7 V8 engine within the custom engine bay. Equipped with upgraded cylinder heads massaged by Frankenstein Engine Dynamics, the LS7 features a Texas Speed Stage 2 cam, BTR trunnion and lifters, Holley Terminator EFI computer, Shaun's custom alloy high-flow intake and a Nick Williams 102mm throttle-body. The custom-built 3-inch stainless dual exhaust includes an X-pipe, baffles and Borla mufflers. Supporting features include the Wagner front accessory drive and billet rocker covers, Fesler custom fuel tank with in-tank pump by Rick's Tanks, all-new Painless wiring, Ron Davis aluminum radiator, dual fans, dry-sump oil tank and an Optima battery. Power delivery is via the fully rebuilt GM 4L80E automatic transmission with a 3,400-rpm stall converter and 4.10 Strange Engineering Dana 60 rear end located by a custom 4-link rear suspension with polished control arms. Other chassis details include adjustable QA1 coilovers, Flaming River rack & pinion steering and incorporating a high-power electric booster, custom stainless lines and 14-inch Wilwood discs with 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers. The fully customized interior features Dynamat insulation, a custom headliner and Eckler's floor mats. Other highlights include billet aluminum interior door handles, stainless cup holders, LED lighting, Dakota Digital HDX gauges and an Ididit steering column, as well as a Vintage Air system. Modern tech includes power windows, USB ports, hands-free Bluetooth, navigation, a backup camera and a Dakota Digital key fob. The audiophile-quality Kenwood/Infinity sound system includes dual amplifiers and a 12-inch subwoofer inside the fully trimmed trunk. Forged GFG Giovanna 3-piece wheels mount Michelin tires measuring 235/35ZR19 up front and 345/30ZR20 under rear mini-tubs.
