While the Chevelle name has been long gone from Chevy's showroom for decades, its legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of muscle car enthusiasts everywhere. One look at this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS3 Restomod, and it's easy to see why this car has been so lusted after. Fully repainted in a beautiful gloss-black finish, complete with dual full-length racing stripes, this Chevelle showcases its classic lines while not-so-subtly hinting at its modern technology with its aggressive stance and huge Ridler wheels.
Inside, we find an incredibly inviting and customized interior. The storage/armrest center console features a single cupholder, separating a pair of plush, supportive bucket seats that have been reupholstered with red contrast stitching. A chrome-and-padded, power-assisted Billet Specialties wheel sits ahead of a seven-pod gauge cluster, featuring a 7,000-rpm tachometer and a 120-mph speedometer. Power windows and locks, along with a Pioneer touchscreen AM/FM head unit that offers satellite and Bluetooth connectivity, make this restomod far more fun to drive than when it rolled off the assembly line.
Under that expansive hood, we find a late-model 6.2-liter overhead valve LS3 V-8 engine. With a lightweight aluminum block and heads, sequential-port fuel injection, a composite intake manifold, and high-flow injectors, this Gen IV small-block is capable of producing at least 426 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. Tack on heat-wrapped Doug's long-tube headers and a three-inch X-pipe dual exhaust, and those numbers are undoubtedly a bit higher. That output is funneled through a tried-and-true Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission before heading to the 3.73-geared Richmond 12-bolt rear end, which transfers power to the pavement via a set of big 20-inch Ridler wheels shod in 295/30R-20 Toyo low-profile rubber. At the same time, a narrower set of 235/40R-18 Toyo tires handles steering duties up front.
