1970 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE LS6 RE-CREATION CONVERTIBLE

Details

Over a 30 year period, the previous owner began collecting every NOS part, piece and component that would be needed to do a complete restoration on a 1970 LS6 convertible. This beautiful 1970 Chevelle LS6 convertible re-creation underwent a three-year meticulous frame-off, nut-and-bolt, rotisserie restoration and was completed with all of the very rare, hard to find vintage LS6 components collected by the previous owner. The complete body and chassis were disassembled and media blasted in

pieces. Using GM NOS fenders, hood and quarter panels the body was finished in the correct PPG base coat/clear coat Fathom Blue complete with a white top, white stripes, and Pearl White interior. This Chevelle re-creation is powered by a vintage LS6 454ci block engine with 4-bolt mains that was bored 30 over and pre-dates the body by four weeks. It was balance and blueprinted for assembly. The block pad was broach marked and stamped and the cylinder heads are Vintage LS6 square port predating the body by three weeks. Backing the engine is an M-22 4-speed manual transmission that pre-dates the body by eight weeks and is shifted with a Hurst Competition Plus shifter. A 373 rear gear ratio was used for drivability and the carrier housing is dated three months before the body. It features Gardner exhaust with proper crimps and resonators as well as GM NOS exhaust tips and tail pipe clamp and hanger.
