Details

No expense was spared on this beautiful Chevelle SS 396 that blends old-school looks and modern-day performance. It's powered by a 396ci big-block engine with a brand-new Edelbrock performer carburetor with a fuel pressure gauge. Buttery smooth shifts are achieved through custom-geared, direct-from-Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter. A full hydraulic-clutch setup was added to keep the new ceramic clutch connected to its new SFI-rated fly wheel. The suspension can be adjusted with just a few clicks of a knob from the custom-valved Viking coilovers and struts suspending all four corners. Ride height can be changed easily from a nice track-day forward rake or to dead-level cruiser in just minutes. The Stage 5 UMI performance suspension kit connects all the dots that keep this car planted and straight through any turn. With a new convertible top, it exhibits great paint quality with very few minor defects. The outstanding factory leather interior features new rugs, Dynamat Xtreme throughout, Retro Sound radio with Bluetooth, iPhone, aux connects and pre-outs, Kicker speakers, and Auto Meter custom digital and analog gauges. The raised center console creates an actual armrest feel with great shifting posture. It's equipped with long tube Hooker headers, straight-through mufflers, great chrome everywhere and staggered wheels with new tires. More than $85,000 was invested in parts and labor.
