Ground pounder! Claimed to have $140,000 invested in this beauty! Detailed body off frame restoration. If you need some excitement in your life this one will deliver, with a 649 horsepower 509 Blueprint engine. It has a stack of receipts and the Dyno sheet to document everything. On top of that, she is pretty too, with custom Gunmetal paint, smoked glass and a cowl induction hood providing a unique and tough look, on top of the all the neck snapping power! Not every Chevelle needs to be an SS clone.
EXTERIOR: Stunning! The Gunmetal Grey paint is beautifully laid out with great detail then polished to a glass like finish. Looking down the side of the body it is straight as an arrow with smooth contours and crisp lines. The smoked glass is all new with fresh rubber seals and fuzzy strips too. All the panels are square and flush with excellent alignment and gaps. The cowl induction hood really enhances the profile. The front grille, headlights and taillights are in excellent shape. The bumpers have been rechromed and the remaining trim all has a glorious shine. A set of bowtie mirrors and cross flag emblems decorate each side. It is rolling on a set of American Racing Torque Thrust II chrome wheels that are 17x7s up front and 18x9s in the rear. They are wrapped in performance tires.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Damn! A 509 Blueprint crate engine will definitely hurt some feelings on the street! Said to have about 1100 miles since new, it is Dyno tuned at 649 horsepower, 622 lbs of torque, and runs strong! All that power plus some turnkey reliability with the Holley Sniper fuel injection system is a killer combination.
