If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a classic muscle car with modern performance, RestoMods is here to make that dream a reality. Their latest giveaway—the 29th to date—is a jaw-dropping 1969 Chevelle that blends old-school charm with cutting-edge performance. This twin-turbo beast is pushing 1300 horsepower on pump fuel and a staggering 1600 horsepower on race fuel, all thanks to a monstrous Nelson Racing Engines 427ci LSX V8.
What Makes This Chevelle Special?
The heart of this machine is a meticulously crafted twin-turbocharged 427ci LSX V8, featuring twin 88mm mirror-image turbochargers and twin intercoolers that ensure maximum power delivery with reliability. Paired with a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission and a Strange 9” rear end with Positraction, this Chevelle is built to lay down serious power while maintaining drivability. It’s not just about raw muscle; the car sits on an Art Morrison chassis, ensuring that all that power translates to a smooth, controlled ride.
Under the hood, you’ll also find an NRE Alien intake manifold, heat-wrapped 3.5” dual exhaust, and an expertly tuned setup to handle the insane power levels. Whether you’re cruising the streets or tearing up the track, this car is ready for it all.
A Frame That’s Built to Handle It
The Chevelle’s 1969 GT Sport Hardtop frame is reinforced with top-tier components like a VETC6 front wheel bearing and hub assembly, a 20:1 power rack and pinion steering setup, and tubular control arms. The triangulated four-bar rear suspension with adjustable coilovers gives it the perfect balance of comfort and performance, ensuring it can handle everything from high-speed runs to tight cornering.
Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes provide the stopping power needed to reign in all that horsepower, making sure this Chevelle is as safe as it is fast. And with mini tubs to accommodate the wide Toyo R888R tires wrapped around 19” American Racing VF552 wheels, the grip levels are nothing short of phenomenal.
Show-Stopping Exterior
Dressed in a deep Nautical Blue paint job, this Chevelle exudes style and attitude. A molded front spoiler, cowl induction hood, and chrome bumpers maintain the classic muscle car look, while modern touches like Dapper Lighting LEDs with halo and billet air intake bring it firmly into the 21st century. A smooth firewall and fender wells give it a clean, seamless appearance under the hood.
The battery has been relocated to the trunk, freeing up space in the engine bay and improving weight distribution for better handling.
Luxurious Interior With Modern Amenities
Step inside, and you’ll find a black leather interior with striking blue stitching that perfectly complements the exterior. Front and rear bucket seats provide a comfortable yet performance-driven feel, while a center leather console with cupholders adds a touch of modern convenience.
The driver’s cockpit is equipped with a GPS speedometer, B&M shifter with a line lock button, and Autometer Pro-Comp instrumentation to keep tabs on everything under the hood. Power windows, seats, and locks offer all the conveniences of a modern ride, while Vintage Air climate control ensures a comfortable drive no matter the weather. RestoMods has even fully upholstered the trunk area, adding a touch of class to the rear storage.
To top it all off, a Pioneer infotainment system paired with a Rockford Fosgate amplifier and subwoofer setup brings high-quality sound to match the car’s high-octane performance.
