1972 Chevy Chevelle Restomod

The old-school Chevelle is a forever reigning king when it comes to the muscle car era. When one thinks back to those golden days, it’s a car that likely comes to mind first. Considered a powerhouse from the factory, here we have an incredible 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle that has strayed far from its factory roots. Better than ever, this new version would smoke the old one out of the water in regards to performance.

Nothing grabs the attention of show going car folks like a paint finish that more closely resembles melted glass than acrylic lacquer, and that just is the first of many features that draw a crowd around this stunning 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Resto Mod.

This Chevelle restomod is powered by a naturally aspirated 468-ci (7.7-liter) V8 engine and a Tremec six-speed manual transmission – which is pretty standard fare for a modern-day Chevy restomod. This car was worthy of its own AutotopiaLA episode, however, so naturally, the Small Block in question is far from stock. Upgrades include a ported heads, a Brian Tooley Racing Stage 4 camshaft, Hooker Black Heart headers, a three-inch exhaust and Borla Attack mufflers. The engine produces more than 600 hp, and on top of that, there’s also a 200 hp nitrous oxide system with a remote tank opener.

So if you like the custom Magic Blue Metallic paint and everything else that went into making this old Chevy truly remarkable. Just like the exterior, the interior keeps its classic style while giving you an upgraded experience. This starts with the seats. Both the front buckets and rear bench have a factory-style pattern. But they have been restored with fresh padding and a cool black that goes with the custom coupe’s aggressive nature. The door panels, carpeting, headliner, and dash are all done in a deep black for a terrific look.

The Chevrolet Chevelle is one of those timeless designs that looks good no matter how the car is built. Stock, modified, race, pro-touring, whatever; the clean lines and balanced stance on these tough looking muscle cars create a modern look with classic swagger that is an excellent platform for major modifications. If you’re ready to stand out with an iconic muscle car that brings a menacing presence and pro-touring attitude packed with modern technology, this 1972 Chevelle is your kind of car.
