RestoMods 1,600 Horsepower 1969 Chevelle Beast On Wheels

RestoMods latest giveaway features a jaw-dropping 1969 Chevelle, a beast on wheels that promises both style and substance. While headlines inevitably focus on its monstrous 427ci LSX engine, which produces a staggering 1,300 horsepower on pump fuel and over 1,600 horsepower on race fuel, the real magic lies beneath its sleek exterior—the Art Morrison chassis.

This Chevelle is all about precision engineering, and that’s where the Art Morrison chassis comes into play. Known for revolutionizing the restomod world, AME’s GT Sport hardtop chassis transforms classic cars into modern masterpieces. The chassis is crafted with angular frame rails that fit snugly under the car’s body (notice how you can’t see the frame rails underneath the car), providing both extra ground clearance and a lower stance. This design not only enhances the vehicle’s aesthetics but also significantly improves its torsional rigidity, ensuring a smoother, more controlled ride.

The chassis supports a host of advanced mechanical features. At the front, you’ll find the highly acclaimed AME Sport C6 Independent Front Suspension (IFS), complete with tubular control arms and adjustable coilovers, offering sports car-like handling. The rear is no less impressive, featuring a triangulated four-link suspension setup. This car is a symphony of engineering excellence.

Complementing its robust performance capabilities, the Chevelle’s exterior is finished in stunning Nautical Blue paint, set off by 19-inch American Racing wheels. The aggressive stance is further highlighted by a cowl induction hood and molded front spoiler, while chrome bumpers and tinted windows add a touch of elegance. It’s a seamless blend of classic design with modern flair.

Inside, the Chevelle offers a luxurious experience with black leather upholstery accented by blue stitching. Comfort meets technology with power windows, seats, and locks, along with a Pioneer infotainment system enhanced by Rockford Fosgate audio components. The fully upholstered trunk and Vintage Air climate control ensure that every journey is as enjoyable as it is thrilling.

While the Nelson Racing Engines twin-turbo 427ci and 4L80E transmission are the heart of this machine, the Art Morrison chassis is its backbone. It’s the unsung hero that allows this 1969 Chevelle to harness and handle its immense power. Whether you’re cruising the highway or tearing up the track, the chassis ensures that every drive is nothing short of exhilarating.
