BODY OVERVIEW:
This Chevelle captures everything that made the early ’70s muscle car era unforgettable. The stance is aggressive, the body lines are crisp, and the cowl induction hood and hood pins hint that this is not your average weekend cruiser. The chrome bumpers, trim, and brightwork all complement the blue finish perfectly, giving the car a look that’s both timeless and intimidating.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The “Blue Me Away” metallic paint absolutely lives up to its name — deep, glossy, and full of shimmer in the sunlight. White stripes complete that classic Chevelle look. The paint is stunning and extremely well-preserved, but it wasn’t done yesterday. That said, it is showing only minor imperfections here and there that do little to detract from its impressive presentation. Overall, it’s a true showstopper that turns heads from every angle!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The interior combines muscle car simplicity with modern comfort. The black bucket seats, center console, and Dakota Digital gauge cluster give the cabin a refined yet performance-oriented feel. The Retro-Modern stereo and Vintage Air A/C ensure comfort and convenience on every drive. Everything from the trim to the upholstery is in great condition, showing only light use since the car’s build. Even the trunk is finished–a detail often overlooked during a custom build. Most importantly, though this is a restomod, it still retains that ‘70s muscle look and feel!
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood is a 454ci big block V8 that defines American muscle. The FiTech fuel injection system ensures easy starts and smooth idles, while the TruTrac serpentine setup, aluminum radiator, and electric fans keep things running smoothly. The 5-speed manual transmission transforms this Chevelle from a boulevard bruiser into a true driver’s car. Suspension and braking are equally dialed in: CPP tubular control arms, front coilovers, Wilwood drilled & slotted rotors, and power steering make it as confident on backroads as it is rumbling through town. The dual Flowmaster exhaust with Hedman Hedders provides the perfect soundtrack: pure muscle with a refined edge.
WHAT YOU’LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:

WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
• You’ll attract attention everywhere you go. Definitely no stealth mode here!
• The clutch and big-block power demand a driver who enjoys engagement
• Minor paint imperfections remind you this isn’t a trailer queen, it’s a car meant to be driven!
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?
• This Chevelle is turn-key and ready to enjoy.
• Owing to the transmission swap, the reverse lights do not work
