The 1968 Chevelle – A Blend of Modern and Classic

This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle is a modern restomod from a passionate enthusiast. The owner constructed the entire powerhouse himself nearly 20 years ago from scratch. The massive V8 engine was entirely hand-built and modified to fit in the engine bay of the car.

Modern restomods are great because they are open and honest about what they are to the general public. In the past, some people have attempted to hide the performance of the vehicle with stock-appearing designs and by retaining the factory lighting. However, most of the vehicles we’ve seen on shows like Autotopia LA in recent years are proud of their blend of modern and classic and display it on their exteriors like a badge of honor. This specific car is a great illustration of why the newest generation of car enthusiasts find these incredible restomods to be so appealing.

A massive V8 engine hidden beneath the hood of this incredible beast will shock any purist to their very core. This is due to the fact that the engine was entirely hand-built and modified to fit in the engine bay of the Chevelle. The fact that the owner of this car constructed the entire powerhouse himself nearly 20 years ago from scratch is actually really cool, as this is something you hardly ever see anymore. Today, the engine generates about 650 horsepower using a 383 cubic inch displacement, a thoroughly cleaned block, and a small amount of forced induction.

A Procharger, which uses its centrifugal design to deliver the instant power of a supercharger with a distinctive sound and tons of power, is that induction technique. Additionally, the exterior shines much more brilliantly than the original, especially with the new wheels. This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle’s incredible upgrading and stabilizing work is explained by the wide centerpieces that make the car turn faster than it was ever designed to from the factory. Overall, this is a fantastic build from a passionate enthusiast, and he is highly regarded for it.
