408Chevelle's 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle

Factory Options:

Exterior Modifications:

From the factory my Chevelle was Champagne Gold, but it was primed when I bought it. When it was time for paint and body work, it was stripped to bare metal and sprayed Fathom Blue, an original Chevy color from 1970. Other than the paint job, shaved fender emblems and wheels, it's all stock appearing.

Interior Modifications:

From the factory it had a dark green vinyl bench seat interior. It is now all black with bucket seats. The only non-original appearing parts are the Kenwood speakers and Hurst Quarterstick. I've also converted from a Malibu sweep dash to a SS dash.
