Description
Lot #1326 - This custom 1970 Chevelle convertible recently received a frame-off restoration and only has 100 miles since completion. It is an outstanding example of a well-executed Resto-Mod. This Pro-Touring Chevelle was professionally restored and upgraded with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 LSA Chevy engine and a T56 6-speed manual transmission mated to a custom Hurst shifter. Providing the stance and ride quality is a modified front and independent rear suspension. Outside, the goal was to keep the car’s body lines as close to original as possible, and this high-quality restoration spared no expense with subtle modifications, like tightened bumpers painted to match the body, SS badging and many premium billet parts. It is finished with high-quality, high-gloss graphite black metallic paint, accented by SS-style ghost stripes along the tail and hood. Tucked behind the wheels you will see the shiny black calipers of the Wilwood disc brakes at all four corners. The one-of-a-kind interior features all-custom black leather SS bucket seats with center and back consoles, Grant SS steering wheel, Vintage Air, power windows, power top, billet pedals and custom-fabricated leather dash with blue LED Dakota Digital gauges. The stereo features a RetroSound head unit with built-in color LCD display, Bluetooth/AUX/MP3 playback all powered by a Kenwood amplifier along with Kenwood speakers. Completing the menacing look is a set of custom 20-inch chrome Esajian Viper wheels fitted with Lexani tires. This custom Chevelle convertible has been turned into a modern-day classic with all the greatest technology and is offered from the personal collection of Barrett-Jackson Executive Vice President and General Manager Nick Cardinale.
