Take a look at this 1,600HP Twin-Turbo Chevelle Restomod: A Modern Monster in a Classic Suit!
Discover the insane 1,600HP twin-turbo Chevelle restomod from RestoMods. Packed with Nelson Racing Engines power, Art Morrison chassis, and stunning detail, this classic beast blends street style with supercar performance.
The Classic Muscle Car Reimagined
When old-school muscle meets modern innovation, magic happens—and the latest Chevelle restomod from RestoMods is the perfect example. This stunning build isn’t just a visual masterpiece, it’s a street-legal monster pumping out up to 1,600 horsepower thanks to a twin-turbo Nelson Racing Engines 427 under the hood.
This Chevelle is not a trailer queen—it’s fully dialed in, streetable, and giveaway-ready, offering one lucky fan the ride of a lifetime.
Built for Power, Styled for the Street
RestoMods started with a fully functional restomod purchased on Bring a Trailer and took it to the next level. They corrected awkward styling elements, refined the exterior with forged American Racing VF552 wheels, Dapper LED lighting, and rebranded the front with a classic blue Chevy bowtie emblem—true to the 1969 aesthetic.
The Nautical Blue paint paired with chrome trim, mirrors, and handles make this car a showstopper even before you pop the hood.
A Turbocharged Heart: Nelson Racing Engines 427
The crown jewel of this beast is the LS-based 427ci engine built by Nelson Racing Engines, featuring twin mirror-image 88mm turbos, billet internals, and all the cooling and fueling tech needed for high-boost reliability.
-
1,250HP on pump gas
-
1,600HP on race fuel (110 octane)
-
Seamless dual-fuel system with a split fuel tank and computer-controlled injector management
-
Custom Art Morrison chassis for unmatched handling and strength
This isn’t just a drag-strip car—it’s engineered to be daily drivable at insane power levels.
Drivetrain & Handling Built for the Street
A fully built 4L80 automatic transmission with billet internals and external cooling handles the brutal torque, transferring power to a 9-inch Ford rear end. The suspension features adjustable Strange coilovers, rack-and-pinion steering, and Corvette big brakes for a modern sports car feel.
Despite the aggressive setup, the ride is surprisingly comfortable and planted—even under boost.
Interior: Modern Comfort, Classic Vibe
Inside, the Chevelle features leather-upholstered modern GTO seats, a full suite of AutoMeter gauges, vintage A/C, power windows, and a custom center console running front to back. A Momo steering wheel, Apple CarPlay-ready Pioneer head unit, and a line lock-equipped B&M shifter bring tech and track-readiness together in style.
Even with no roll cage, the car balances performance with comfort, focusing on real-world drivability without losing muscle car soul.
Giveaway-Ready & Road-Tested
With 6,000 miles already logged, this car isn’t a fantasy—it’s fully sorted. The RestoMods crew has ensured every detail is proven, from burnouts to highway cruises. It’s a car you can win and drive home the same day, as previous giveaway winners have.
This is more than just horsepower—it’s reliability, driveability, and killer style, packed into one incredible restomod.
