Sleek, stealth and mysterious are the best words to describe this 1972 Chevy Chevelle. This is the kind of car that lurks in back alleyways or can be seen cruising around back urban roads at 2 AM. Unlike most musclecars, this Chevelle was built to blend in with traffic not to stand out. It was built to not to draw attention while cruising the streets of L.A., while still out run most any car willing to challenge it.

The project began as a burnt out 1972 Chevelle with a faded red paint job, red wheels and a worn tan interior. The stock dash was exchanged for a new dash which has been loaded with high-tech digital gauges. These include a digital speedo, tach, and several others which give the interior a futuristic look.

The rear bench was reupholstered in solid black, while the front bench was exchanged for a pair of leather racing seats. The rest of the tan fabric was thrown out in favor of black, and a racing steering wheel was installed.

Take a good look, this is the only time you will see this car standing still.

The stock small block was ditched and an all aluminum LS1 now sits under the hood. This engine has not only improved the Chevelle’s power but has made the car far more practical for city driving with better MPG (as far as V8s go). The stock hood was replaced with a cowl induction, and the exterior was sanded down and a matte black coat of paint was sprayed giving the car its stealth look.

The car has been sold recently but chances are you can still run into it cruising the streets of L.A. The LS1’s mods are kept discreet, so if you run into the car and are looking for a race be careful as this car is a force to be reckoned with. How do you feel about modern LSX motors in classic muscle cars?

The only angle you will see on the road.
