Details

This custom 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle convertible is powered by a ZZ 502ci 8-cylinder engine fitted with RetroTek fuel injection, a polished aluminum March Performance serpentine belt system, dual Sanderson ceramic-coated headers and 3-inch exhaust tubing that goes to Flowmaster mufflers and exits through stock chrome tips. The engine is paired with a 700R4 Bowtie Overdrives Stage 3 automatic transmission and a 12-bolt rear end with an Auburn limited-slip and 3.73 gears. Stopping power is provided by 4-wheel power disc brakes. Underneath this Chevelle, the frame, rear end, sway bar and undercarriage have been powder-coated in gloss black. The exterior is finished in Cranberry Red with black stripes, and the car rides on U.S. Mags 5-spoke Series 527 17-inch wheels. The exterior of this Chevelle also has a functional cowl-induction hood with a flapper door. Inside the redone vinyl interior, there is an original LS6 tachometer, a GM tilt steering column and a modified center console with overdrive. This frame-off restoration from 2008 includes two Build Sheets and the Protect-O-Plate, showing it was an original SS 396. The car was built to look like it was originally fitted with a 502ci engine, as the emblems reflect the new engine size.
