A true Pro-Touring Chevelle, this 1970 custom coupe underwent a complete nut-and-bolt frame-off restoration and has too many upgrades to list. It was professionally restored and updated with a supercharged 6.2-liter LS3 Chevrolet crate engine mated to a GM 4L60 4-speed automatic transmission. The high-torque starter, Wegner alternator, Speartech engine wiring harness and Painless Performance chassis wiring harness help keep it all running. Helping put the power to the ground is a Six States driveshaft, 12-bolt rear end, and Yukon Gear and Axle posi-traction differential. The chassis was powder-coated and fitted with a Flowmaster custom dual exhaust and stainless-steel headers. The suspension was upgraded and power-assisted rack & pinion steering was added along with a Wilwood brake system that includes a dual master cylinder, 6-piston red calipers over 15-inch rotors up front and 4-piston red calipers mounted over 14-inch rotors in back. CPP spindles and upper and lower control arms are fitted, along with front and rear sway bars. Keeping the V8 cool is a custom radiator with a SPAL electric fan, and the electric fuel pump keeps the gas flowing from the custom fuel tank and stainless-steel fuel line. A Vintage Air climate-control system along with full Dynamat installed under the custom carpet, insulating the heat and sound to keep the climate comfortable and the roaring engine sound low for occupants. Outside, the goal was to keep the car's body lines as close to original as possible, but this high-quality restoration spared no expense with subtle modifications, like tightened bumpers painted to match the body, billet hood hinges, custom SS badging, tinted windows, LED headlights, LED taillights, and smoked taillight lenses and turn signals. It is finished with expertly applied high-quality high-gloss black paint, accented by SS-style Rally Red stripes along the hood and decklid. The grille and Billet Specialties door handles are also painted black to keep the color scheme. Completing the ideal look is a set of custom black 19- and 20-inch staggered Intro wheels wrapped in Nitto Invo tires. Inside, it is trimmed with a custom red interior that extends to the headliner, door panels, dash pad and trunk panel. Includes custom SS seat badges, three-spoke Billet Specialties steering wheel and a matching red Ididit tilt steering column. Additional modern upgrades include power windows, power door locks, black door handles, Viper alarm system and custom-fabricated dash with sinister black and red Dakota Digital VHX gauges. The stereo features an AM/FM radio with a Bluetooth head unit with a full KICKER sound system that includes amp, 10-inch subwoofer and four cabin speakers. This well-executed Resto-Mod has less than 3,000 miles since completion. Includes build records and comes out of the personal collection of Barrett-Jackson COO Nick Cardinale.
