This 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS has been the subject of a comprehensive custom restoration and performance build, completed with attention to drivability, reliability, and modern performance upgrades. Power comes from Chevrolet Performance's economical big-block 454ci V8, featuring a cast-iron block with four-bolt mains, forged steel crankshaft and rods, forged aluminum pistons, and a hydraulic roller camshaft with .510/.540-inch lift. Induction is handled by a Chevrolet Performance intake manifold, while exhaust exits through ceramic-coated Hooker competition headers and a 3-inch ceramic exhaust system.

Power is delivered through a TH400 automatic transmission paired with a Gear Vendors under/overdrive, effectively providing six forward gear ratios for improved highway cruising. A Currie Ford 9-inch rear end completes the drivetrain. Cooling and accessory upgrades include an oversized radiator, Edelbrock Victor Series aluminum water pump, chrome high-amp alternator, and power steering.

Stopping power is supplied by Wilwood disc brakes, supported by a Leed chrome brake master cylinder and booster setup. Suspension upgrades include 1901R lowering coil springs, coilover front shocks, and a four-link rear suspension for improved handling and stance.

The exterior is finished in Viper Red, complemented by a fresh black interior featuring a horseshoe shifter, Ididit tilt steering column, Flaming River steering wheel, custom stereo system, and a Vintage Air system discreetly hidden behind the dash and firewall. Rolling stock consists of Billet Specialties Fast Lane wheels, sized 17 inches in front and 18 inches in the rear, giving the car a modern yet period-appropriate presence.
