He usually is not the really big star in the Chevrolet model range, but can skillfully put itself in the limelight when it comes to competing with the more well-known models called Camaro and Corvette. The Chevelle of ring Brothers, a duo of the brothers Jim and Mike Ring, who work as management consultants in everyday life, causes a lot of attention, and not only at the 2014 SEMA in Las Vegas. But it wouldn't be the absolute highlight of the Ringbrothers in theirs Restomod careerif the project is not considered by GM himself Show car of the year would have been awarded. The Chevelle is not only forgotten by the Ringbrothers community, but also by various tuning fans around the world who are interested in US cars.

Built up oldie for the big show.

As it stands now, it was of course not always in good shape, since the model is complete rebuilt and restored has been. Self a Custom chassis from Roadster shop was installed in order to achieve a particularly sporty driving behavior. The front one Independent suspension comes from a Corvette C5, and on the rear axle was a Four-link suspension installed. In addition, still found Suspension shocks from AFCO the way to the Chevelle. Furthermore, various Carbon Parts, Ringbrothers hood lifter, Clear glass headlights, Custom exterior mirrors with carbon caps and a paint job in the BASF paint called "Storm" attached ".

Other goodies include Metal door handles, Custom taillights from AM Hot Rod Glass and one Replay XD 1080 mini camera on the left exterior mirror. This ensures that the blind spot is always visible and serves as a Blind spot warning. For a sporty look, there were also three-part HRE Wheels Recoil forged rims installed, which have the dimensions 9 × 19 inches on the front axle and 13 × 20 inches on the rear axle. In our opinion, the crowning glory is the mighty ones 275/35 ZR19 tires from Michelin on the front axle, and the huge ones 345/30 ZR20 rollers on the rear axle, which also come from the French tire company.

The tires build up so much traction that it shouldn't be a problem to drive a drag race with the bullet, although the classic is, to be honest, far too good for that. Last but not least, there is one more on the car Baer brake system with perforated discs and Baer 6R six-piston calipers all around. This also guarantees optimal deceleration values ​​from higher speeds.

Everything in the interior has been completely redesigned.

The entire cockpit was handcrafted from sheet metal, and that Dashboard in body color with carbon accents and a gray decorative panel with "Recoil" lettering designed. Digital Racepak instruments, which were set in a Ringbrothers metal holder and a HRE / Ringbrothers three-spoke sports steering wheel complete the custom cockpit. A Air conditioning from Vintage Air, as well as rotary controls for the operation of the electric windows provide a little comfort in the classic Chevelle.

Furthermore were still Custom metal seats, five-point racing harnesses and a Boost Gauge installed on the center console. For an optimal sound there was also a Pioneer sound system with kicker speakers and subwoofer installed in the rear. Additional kicker amplifiers ensure an incomparable sound experience from the stereo system.

A 6,8 liter LS7 V8 petrol engine provides power.

The one with one compressors equipped 6,8-liter V8 petrol engine generates an incredible performance of about 993 PS , and a four-digit torque, which we unfortunately do not know in detail. The performance is likely to be from another planet, and many hypercars green with envy. However, the one-off project is too bad to measure yourself on the quarter mile, because wear and tear only reduces the value of the dreamy classic.
