A professionally restored 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle restomod, built with a focus on modern drivability and show-level presentation, is now listed for $169,900. The two-door hardtop combines the bold lines of Chevrolet’s late-1960s muscle era with a comprehensive performance overhaul, anchored by a 502-cubic-inch big-block V8 and a fully upgraded chassis.
The exterior sets the tone for the build, finished in deep black paint that highlights straight bodywork and polished bright trim. A vinyl top adds period character, while a cowl hood and clean chrome details emphasize the car’s muscle-car roots. The stance showcases the custom underpinnings: mini tubs accommodate wide rear Pirelli P Zero tires, and 18-inch Billet Specialties wheels fill the wheel wells with a purposeful look. From the rear three-quarter view, the wider rubber and narrowed axle become more apparent, reinforcing the car’s performance-first intentions.
Under the hood, the Chevelle features a built 502ci V8 equipped with Terminator EFI and a Mike Heinz–spec camshaft. The combination is estimated to deliver around 600 horsepower, supported by ceramic-coated headers and an aluminum radiator paired with dual electric fans. The engine bay is finished cleanly, with smoothed inner panels and tidy component routing that highlight the powerplant as the centerpiece.
Power routes through a 4L80E automatic transmission, chosen for durability and street-friendly manners, to a 12-bolt rear axle fitted with 3.73 gears and Positraction. The chassis reflects the same level of attention: a narrowed Fatman front suspension sits ahead of a four-bar rear setup, with QA1 coilovers at all four corners and sway bars at both ends. Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes handle stopping duties, giving the car a balanced mix of power and control.
Inside, the cabin maintains a classic Chevrolet layout enhanced with custom touches. Black upholstery with textured inserts updates the original design without losing its vintage feel. Bucket seats flank a center console housing the shifter for the 4L80E transmission. Dakota Digital gauges provide modern readability, while Vintage Air climate control and a Retrosound audio system with Bluetooth integration bring contemporary comfort and convenience.
With only 226 miles showing since completion, the Chevelle presents as a fresh build aimed at drivers who want a classic silhouette backed by modern capability. The combination of careful restoration, chassis engineering and big-block power positions the car as a high-end restomod ready for both cruising and spirited driving.
