INTRODUCTION: Body off frame restored with many upgrades! This Yenko inspired Chevelle has features like air conditioning, Hotchkis suspension system and much more that really makes it a far superior car than what it was new!

EXTERIOR: It has a very impressive body that is absolutely straight and all the panels fit very nicely. Upgraded with a metal cowl induction hood and repainted its beautiful original LeMans blue color without a vinyl top. All the metallic is laid out evenly and it has a clear coat that's polished smooth like glass! It has extremely faint ghost stripes on the hood and trunk, the more obvious stripes are the white Yenko decals down the sides. The glass has all been replaced and they are the fastest power windows I've ever seen! All of the chrome and trim has been replaced and shines like it's brand new: the window moldings, rain gutters, door handles, mirrors, wheel well moldings, marker lights, bumpers, taillight bezels, emblems etc. I just noticed it has real cool LED sequintial taillights! It is sitting on vintage style 15 inch Torque Thrust wheels that were often used on Yenkos back in the day. They are wrapped in BFGoodrich tires, extra wide in the back.

INTERIOR: The parchment looks beautiful against the LeMans blue. It has sound deadener on the floor before the carpet was installed. The seats were reupholstered and the door panels, armrests, headliner and visors were replaced. The dash pad and instrument panel has been replaced. It has a full set of factory gauges including a tachometer and working clock. The climate controls were updated with Vintage Air electric slides. It also has a tilt column with a real sharp looking custom steering wheel. Complete with GM seat belts front and back.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: That's a GM Performance ZZ427-480hp crate motor with GM aluminum heads and intake, HEI ignition, Holley Sniper fuel injection and coated headers. Dressed real nice with cast aluminum valve covers. The front runner system includes a modern alternator and power steering, air conditioning and a serpentine belt system. Upgraded aluminum radiator with dual electric fans helps keep it cool. It has power brakes, new wiper motor and horns, and a fuel regulator. All the metal surfaces are smooth and painted semi-gloss black. The battery has a disconnect switch.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jambs are painted real slick, inside is spatter painted. It has a reproduction mat and weatherstrip. It includes a rally wheel spare.

UNDERSIDE: Body off frame restored, the floors are sprayed in a color matched chip guard. Complete Hotchkiss front and rear Sport Suspension upgrade with tubular control arms, fat swaybars, and coilover adjustable gas shocks. The steering is all new as well. Custom exhaust with x-pipe and stainless mufflers. Upgraded with disc brakes at all four wheels. The fuel system was replaced including the tank. Looking up at the motor it is clean and has a high torque starter. The trans is a 700R4 overdrive automatic. In back is a 9 inch rear end with 4.10 gears.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

CONCLUSION: It has the 427, Torque Thrust wheels and Stripes just like the Yenko, but it has oh so much more!
