With only a fews days of bidding left a ferocious monster raging with horsepower has been spotted on the market. Currently awaiting a new home, is this 1970 Chevelle powered by a twin turbocharged Duramax that has risen from the angry depths with bidding commencing at a mere $159,000.
Currently the Duramax is feeding on a biodiesel set-up and its power is sent through a 2005 Allison 1000 5 speed automatic that has a PPE stage 5 kit. With an estimated horsepower of around 1100, this angry specimen is nothing less than impressive on a number of levels.
This thing is not only a terror on the street, but it is at home on the track as well. Featuring a 10 point roll cage, Corvette C-5 front suspension, and 4 link rear suspension, this thing is able to handle the drag strip or road course. The builder didn’t forget creature comforts either. The Chevelle still has air conditioning.
With over 1,100 horsepower and all the bells and whistles, you would expect this to be a pig on fuel. But the seller reports getting 34 MPG. Gotta love a diesel powered car.
Since this Chevelle was put together, it has been featured in a number of magazines and at quite a few shows. With only 6,400 miles on the odometer, this thing has actually been pampered. The low mileage indicates that this car has a lot of trailer time.
This isn’t the first time we have seen this car on ebay, but we are sure it won’t be up much longer. Rides like this don’t come around too often and when they do, they go for a lot of money. With that said, would you pay $159,000 for this toxic creation if the budget allowed? Â For more info on this find or to place a bid stop be sure to visit Ebay.
