Description
Lot #1100 - This 1970 Chevelle, with less than 1,550 since completion, is an excellent example of a well-executed Resto-Mod. This car really comes alive under the hood, with a massive 572ci Chevy big-block engine pushing 620hp backed by a programmable TCI 6-speed automatic transmission. Helping put the power to the ground is a Pro-Touring-style suspension with coilovers, a custom X-pipe exhaust and Wilwood disc brakes to bring everything to a stop. This high-quality restoration spared no expense, with custom body modifications that include shaved roof drip rails, new outer door panels, new quarter panels, new rear quarter panels, flush-mounted front and rear glass, and a cowl-induction hood. An expertly applied recent base coat/clear coat paint refinish on the high-quality high-gloss black paint and silver SS-style stripes makes this Chevelle standout. The bumpers have been painted to match, the rear taillight lenses were smoked, and the car rides on a set of 20” Asanti 3-piece wheels to complete the menacing look of the exterior. On the inside, a handmade custom dash and console highlight a unique interior complete with custom door panels, a Flaming River steering wheel and modified GTO seats. For comfort, a Vintage Air system was added, complete with billet control knobs, in the center console. Additionally, a set of AutoMeter gauges has been added, along with a high-level stereo featuring a JVC head unit with backup camera, navigation and Bluetooth. Dynamat sound-deadener was applied throughout the interior, as the onboard audio system includes Hertz Mille 10” subwoofers, Audison AV Uno amplifier, Audison AV Quattro amplifier, Hertz Mille two-way speakers and Hertz Energy 6x9” speakers. The attention to detail continues with the underside and engine bay, which have the same high-gloss black finish as the exterior, and a set of billet hood hinges were added to match the accessory drive. Details like push-button start, keyless entry, GPS tracking and a Passport 9500CI radar detector have been added to cap off this impressive build. This one-of-a-kind car will be featured as part of the Barrett-Jackson Car Pack in Microsoft’s award-winning games: Forza Motorsport 7 and Forza Horizon 4, and comes out of the personal collection of Barrett-Jackson EVP/General Manger, Nick Cardinale.
