1970 Chevelle "Cheap Street" Car Craft
Magazine project car
by Lane Exact Detail
 |
Description:
Car Craft Magazine has long been a haven for fans of American
muscle cars,
as well as a source for hardcore DIY types who like to spin the
wrenches
on their own cars. In keeping with these themes and as a means of
showing readers that cool cars can be built on basic budgets, Car Craft
launched Project Cheap Street Chevelle in the fall of 1994.
The basic
premise was to locate the right car - something from the muscle
ear of the
late '60s/early '70s - and then fix it up gradually, all while sticking
to a
budget. To keep the initial cost down, the car would be in need of
some
renovations, but the end result would be the type of street machine
any Car
Crafter would be proud to own. After continuous use as a text mule
and
surviving grand-theft auto, the Cheap Street Chevelle became the
grand prize
drawing for the 2003 Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour. The car
was treated to
another makeover by Steve Strope at Pure Vision Design
and awarded to a
lucky Power Tour participant.
Model features include
fully detailed big
block engine, simulated side body moulding, standard
Malibu (non-padded)
rear bumper, Weld Racing wheels, low profile tires
, bench seat, four speed
on the floor, working hood flapper,
and custom simulated vinyl top.
