It’s Chevrolet Month here at autoevolution, so these days we’re trying to showcase the best work of the GM brand, and this includes not only cars that owners have left abandoned in the middle of nowhere and that are ready to get back on the road, but also fully restored examples worth using as desktop backgrounds.
The Chevelle that we’re highlighting today is a restomod built by Undercover Restorations, and it uses a custom Dark Silver metallic paint job done by Tim Ford. The restomod chassis comes from Street Rod Garage, according to the garage that’s now trying to sell the Chevrolet online.

Because yes, this Chevelle restomod can be yours today at a price that few can actually afford, though a simple look at the pictures in the gallery here is living proof the car is totally worth it.

For example, the interior has been customized with red leather and grey ostrich inserts, while the air conditioning system is a modern Vintage Air unit. The instrument panel has been upgraded with a Dakota Digital RTX gauge cluster, while the sound experience relies on a custom radio with Bluetooth connected to Pioneer speakers and a subwoofer.

The part that’s the most existing is the engine, which is a 6.2-liter GM LSA supercharged unit developing no more, no less than 600 horsepower. The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The Chevrolet looks, feels, and drives just like a new car, and it’s no wonder given all of the above. Furthermore, the odometer indicates just 100 miles (160 km), so you’ll be one of the first out there to be able to drive it.

If you can afford the car, that is, as considering all these customizations that the Chevelle has received as part of the restomod treatment, it’s pretty clear it can’t come cheap. And it doesn’t. The Chevelle is available today with a $195,000 price tag.
