  • We met Ricardo at SEMA 2019 and knew right away that we had to shoot his Chevelle. His styling choices are very cool and its a very tasteful build overall. We love the color choices and the interior is simply beautiful.
    And with an LS swap you know it makes good reliable power so sit back and enjoy the ride...

      If you ever watch the movie "Faster", the Chevelle in there has a '70 front and a '71-'72 rear. Its like they made the Chevelle that should have been.
