1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Drag Racer

So as we mentioned earlier, the Chevelle is one of the most commonly restomodded cars out there and as if to just prove our point here’s another of the same year – 1970. Most Chevy heads will tell you that the 70-71 Chevelle is considered the purest example of Chevy muscle ever made, and they made a lot of them. This example is made for pure straightline speed. Take it straight to the track and start winning pinks, or take it to the show and start collecting trophies. It’s an automatic, but don’t let that fool you. There’s plenty of power under the hood and a rollcage included in case things get sideways.
