1970 Chevrolet Chevelle

This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible pairs classic muscle-car styling with a Texas Speed 6.7L V8, a custom chassis and a leather-lined interior. Built by Schwartz Performance of Woodstock, Illinois, the Chevrolet received a complete nut-and-bolt transformation. Tuxedo Black paint and White Super Sport stripes give it a familiar appearance, while the equipment beneath the body brings substantial changes to its performance. Restoration photos and receipts accompany the car. The Tuxedo Black two-stage finish highlights the Chevelle's broad shoulders and sculpted bodywork, accented by White Super Sport stripes and a cowl-induction hood. A stainless-trimmed grille centers an SS emblem between the Chevelle's signature quad headlights, complemented by chrome bumpers and clear front parking lamps. Factory-tinted glass, bright window trim and a white convertible top complement the exterior, joined by factory-style mirrors, traditional door handles and SS badging. And polished 18" Boyds wheels wear Continental ExtremeContact tires measuring 265/40ZR18 up front and 275/40ZR18 at the rear. Power comes from a Texas Speed and Performance 408ci stroker V8 based on GM's 6.0L LQ9, equipped with PRC CNC-ported aluminum cylinder heads and a TSP Stage 2 LS7 camshaft. Electronic fuel injection and a custom intake tube handle induction, while Schwartz long-tube headers feed a stainless dual exhaust system with an H-pipe and polished mufflers. An aluminum Be Cool radiator and dual electric fans handle cooling, and March serpentine accessories include a polished alternator and air-conditioning compressor. An RPM Level VI 4-speed automatic transmission with a 3,500-rpm stall converter sends power to a Moser 9" rear axle equipped with 3.70 gears and a Truetrac limited-slip differential. The Schwartz Performance G-Machine chassis features boxed and tubular bracing, satin-black powder coating and custom suspension with RideTech coilovers. Power rack-and-pinion steering and power-assisted Baer four-wheel disc brakes with six-piston calipers and drilled and slotted rotors round out the mechanical package. Inside, custom leather upholstery covers upgraded front bucket seats and a factory rear bench, complemented by custom side panels and plush aftermarket carpet. Dakota Digital instruments update the factory-style dashboard, which also houses modern air-conditioning controls and a RetroSound head unit with Bluetooth and SiriusXM capability. Focal kick-panel speakers and power windows add convenience, while a factory center console retains the familiar horseshoe shifter. The trunk carries the custom treatment further with fitted upholstered panels, a carpeted floor and a JL Audio enclosure housing dual 8" subwoofers for powerful audio. Schwartz Performance's comprehensive approach gives this Chevelle the hardware to match its appearance. The convertible body and SS styling preserve its muscle-car appeal, while the chassis, drivetrain and cabin upgrades make it an inviting choice for an enthusiast who wants to spend more time driving. Accompanied by restoration photos and receipts, this Chevrolet offers a finished restomod with the comfort and capability to enjoy beyond the show field.
