And once again we have found a beautiful Restomod vehicle that we can not withhold from you. The basis in this case is a Chevrolet Chevelle Cabriolet from 1972, which can currently be auctioned on Ebay via "Beach Corvette" under item number 274542137823. However, you should have at least $ 195.000 on the high edge. The estimates that in Merritt Island (Florida, United States) based company, namely for the classic. But then there is an absolutely unique piece that the team from Undercover Restorations (Merritt Island, FL) was built.

Of course, the vehicle has been completely restored and rebuilt. The Chevy is wrapped in a metallic paint finish in dark silver made by Tim Ford, has a Restomod chassis from Street Rod Garage and there were many components from the present that can only be seen at second glance. For example the ultra-modern headlights. They are equipped with modern daytime running lights and enable significantly better illumination of the road compared to the standard headlights. The same applies to the rear lights, which are equipped with modern LED technology. The clean body has been freed of unnecessary ornamentation and received a filigree forged wheel set as a visual highlight. And one with quite powerful dimensions, which differ on the front and rear axles.

19 x 9,5 inches at the front and 19 x 11 inches at the back

While the 19 x 9,5 inch format is installed on the front axle, the rear axle has a mighty 19 x 11 inch. The wheel set is equipped with Hankook tires all around. For the chassis, there was a combination of Mustang II components at the front including the steering, there were adjustable QA1 shock absorbers and when you look through the spokes of the aluminum you can also see a large sports brake system. Namely one from Wilwood with perforated brake discs and saddles painted in red. And of course there is a reason. And that sits impressively under the long bonnet. Undercover Restorations installed a 6.2-liter GM LSA-V8 with supercharger, which sends an enormous 600 hp to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission (6L90E). And finally, we would like to briefly discuss the interior of the Chevelle Cabriolet.

Leather interior in red and gray

It comes with a completely new leather interior in red and gray, there is a vintage air conditioning system, new Dakota digital RTX displays and for a contemporary sound experience there was a new sound system with Bluetooth function, Pioneer speakers and a subwoofer. Everything is covered by a Black Stay Fast convertible top. In addition, the odometer shows only 160 miles since the restoration. Everyone has to know for themselves whether that justifies the price of 195.000 US dollars. If we get more information, there is of course an update for this report.
