CHEVELLE L79 m.y 1968

Frank shows us with true pride of passionate a "must", a 1968 Chevelle L79, a lot of work and a lot of effort to bring back to life what he considers one of the best Chevelle. The car was found during one of his research looking for an SS, the particularity but he took over and here the decision to restore this L79.

The engine was in good condition and only a good starting point was enough to make its 350 hp still roar. Frank has overhauled the gearbox that boasts the 4-speed option! And to complete it all, he has a Hurst lever that stands out in the middle of the bench-seat. Complete the work the original exhaust that appears curved from under the bumper.
 

Externally the Chevy was not set very well (‘cause cloned SS), Frank wanted to prepare it by having to dismantle it all. First thing was to mount its original hood without the air scoop crowning, eliminated the chrome moldings of the SS proceeded to prepare the bodywork and give it the original color that was a very special two tone: Teal Blue (lower) and Island blue (upper) a fantastic color that gives a sense of peace (like a duck in a pond) get at that car that give few sense of  peace. Changed the grid with an original chrome not black (ss).
 

Set orange turn lights instead of the white ones (SS option), removed from the rear of the black band leaving the body color on the plate where the long badge was added. Frank has put the original rims as simple and colorful as the bodywork, tires with red line make it so sporty. A simple car without too many frills with a latent charm of those who only love the Chevelle can appreciate.

The car internally was well set up, bench-seat, deluxe interiors that are recognized by the panels with chrome and satin finish line, black and gray for the upholstery fabrics. Dashboard complete with standard central rev counter, seat belts, radio and air conditioning.
Hurst lever that stands out in the middle of the bench-seat. Complete the work the original exhaust that appears curved from under the bumper. 

For Frank the best Chevelle ever made.
