SPEC Chevelle
SPEC Chevelle: The most technologically advanced and high performance classic Chevelle ever built. Each car is coach built by hand with luxury car quality and materials, supercar performance and is fully modernized while still retaining the unmistakable pedigree of the classic Chevelle. Heartland Customs has proven itself as one of the top custom car builders in the world. Over the years we have realized that the one of a kind custom automobile and its "time and materials" process that it takes to own one is not for everyone. With this in mind, we wanted to create a classic Chevelle with modern supercar performance and amenitites that we could offer to customers at a set price. We've found that most of the stress of having a one of a kind custom car built is the unknown final cost.
Since Heartland Customs opened, we have had the opportunity to build some of the nicest custom cars ever built and have earned the reputation for being the top custom builders in the world. From our experience, we know Chevelle enthusiasts love the looks and style of the classic Chevelle, but demand modern performance and comforts. We have spent years designing and engineering a line of custom, classic Chevelle's that are built to perform at the 2016 supercar level, with the comforts and reliability that a driver in todays modern automobiles are accustomed to. These vehicles are known as SPEC Chevelle's.
These aren't thrown together cars with a hodge podge of off the shelf hot rod parts bolted on like you see so many shops turning out. These are fully engineered and tested modern supercars. Thousands of hours have gone into the design and engineering of these cars to insure they are the absolutely finest modernized classic Chevelle's on the road.
These vehicles are available in the 1966-1972 coupe and convertible models with performance levels and available options so that the customer can tailor the vehicle to their wants and needs. This gives the customer who wants a fixed price the opportunity to own a Heartland Customs Supercar.
These vehicles are priced to include everything out the door except the donor Chevelle. Some customers have their own Chevelle they want to use or we can locate a donor car for you. if you are supplying the Chevelle, it doesn't need to be running but must be a complete car. You may incur extra charges if the body is in very poor condition or missing pieces. Cars will be evaluated on a case by case basis when they arrive at our facility.
All SPEC Chevelle's are available in coupe and convertible configurations. Convertible models feature a modern cloth material convertible top instead of the original vinyl.
What sets SPEC Chevelle's apart from all of the other "Restomod" classic cars?
Most companies feel that dropping in a fuel injection system and more modern air conditioning is enough to call a vehicle modernized. At Heartland Customs, when we call it modernized, we mean it. The SPEC cars are designed to give you performance that will rival today's supercars while giving you comforts and amenities that will make you think you are driving a modern luxury vehicle.
We have kept all of the things that make a classic Chevelle what it is and updated all the outdated technology. These vehicles sit on a custom built chassis with todays supercar performance parts and drivetrains so you feel like you are driving an exotic car whether you are on a Sunday cruise or at the track. These cars are also equipped with a modern electrical system that will give you the true feeling of a modern vehicle. Just a few examples of this are these cars have theatre dimming cabin lighting, the headlights will automatically turn on at night and off during the day and stay on for 30 seconds after you turn off the ignition in order to light your way to the door of your house.
Call us today to place your order for the vehicle that everyone is talking about!
What is the process of ordering a SPEC Chevelle?
The first step is for you to place a call or email to Heartland Customs outlining what SPEC Chevelle you desire to have built. A representative will walk you through the process of what year and body style you desire and if you want the Base, or SS and what options you want to add to that model.
Heartland Customs will email over a quote showing exactly what you requested and a quotedprice.
Heartland Customs has a brand new design room at their shop in Purcell, OK. You are welcome to fly into Oklahoma City and we will provide transportation from the airport to the shop and back to the airport. In the design room you can come and see first hand the custom chassis, supercar performance parts and high end materials etc. we use in the SPEC Camaro. Our head designer will also set down with you and personally answer any questions you have and assist you in designing your dream car.
Once all design decisions have been made, we will mail you a color and texture board that will show samples or paint, leather, carpet, seatbelt etc. for you to approve.
If you do not have a donor car already, Heartland Customs can locate one for you. This includes location, negotiation and assistance with setting up shipping of the vehicle to our facility.
Once your number comes up the build process begins...
Restoration:
Your car is completely disassembled down to the bare body and all the years of paint, fillers, undercoating etc. are stripped from the steel.
All damage and rust is repaired properly
The body is completely reconditioned and all door gaps and panel gaps are adjusted for even spacing
All body panels are hung and panel to panel sanding is performed to ensure that each panel flows perfectly to the next. This allows the car to have a perfect flow and all body lines to match up exactly.
The body is primed and blocked to an exquisite finish and made ready for paint
All stainless steel trim is completely refurbished with dings and scratches removed and fully polished
All chrome is either replaced or refinished and rechromed with a triple chrome finish
All new hardware and emblems are used throughout the car
All new DOT approved clear glass is installed
Every nut, bolt and screw in your car will be brand new. We only reuse the body and some of the original trim pieces that are not available to replace.
Paint:
After the color is chosen by the customer, it is mixed in the highest level of PPG basecoat paint. An extremely labor intensive process is used to apply the color and clearcoats to the vehicle.
Once the car rolls out of the paintbooth we begin the long and very skilled job of color sanding and buffing each vehicle by hand to remove the orange peel and imperfections in the clearcoat finish to reveal a finish that we have won numerous national paint awards for.
Chassis:
To sum it up, it is the most high performance chassis ever designed for the classic Chevelle with performance levels that rivals current supercars. Each chassis is built with grade 8 hardware and powder coated for great looks and durability.
Stance:
All SPEC cars have a low and level high performance stance. However this is fully adjustable and can be set to the owners preference.
Interior:
We wanted to keep the interior looking original, but wanted to update it to luxury car specs. The interior now is completely done in the highest quality European leather available in a large range of colors to suit your taste. Special attention was taken to create door panels that look completely original, but correctly fit the door and dont show screws or fasteners.
The cabins are completely insulated to provide a more solid and quiet and vibration free ride. This insulation process is applied to the inner cabin and also under the car.
Gauges:
All SPEC cars come with an extremely high end set of custom gauges that are made by the finest craftsmen in the business and bear the SPEC logos. The gauges are designed to give you that classic Chevelle style but are completely electronic and calibrated to work with the SPEC Chevelle's modern electronics and drivetrain. They also feature a modern check engine light to warn you of problems with your modern LS engine and customizable information center for modern functionality.
HVAC:
The heat, dehumidified defrost and air conditioning has been brought up to 2016 standards and is designed to use the original controls in order the maintain a completely nostalgic look.
Audio:
Depending on what level of SPEC car you choose, will decide how powerful the stereo system is. However even the Base model has a custom designed stereo system that mimics the look of the original and introduces a high end audio environment to the car. No plastic cheap speakers here, only the highest grade audio equipment is used. The stereo head units are designed to look like the originals with modern performance and digital tuning, as well as IPhone hookup and bluetooth hands free calling and music. We also use a power antenna in year models that had exterior antennas in order to improve the looks of the exterior of the car while still retaining a great working antenna.
Electronics:
What modern car would be complete without power door locks and power windows. SPEC cars feature all of the modern electrical features that a modern luxury car has including automatic locking doors and light sensitive, timed delay headlights., all while keeping the completely original looks of the interior.
Modernization:
We have fully modernized the entire electrical system with a state of the art system that gives the vehicle 2016 capabilities and functions.
The chassis is built to enable these vehicles to be a touring car for nice drives in the country on Sunday and eat a modern sports car for lunch on Monday. These chassis are designed from the ground up, not just a modernized subframe bolted in.
The drivetrains are completely modern with LS engines up to 650 hp while still maintaining 25-30 MPG fuel economy
All SPEC cars come standard with modern delay wiper systems
Modern halogen headlights and LED taillights
Wheels and tires:
There are many aluminum wheel choices in different finishes that are included in the price of the vehicle. Other wheel choices are available if requested. Also we offer custom machined wheels that look like the original rally wheels, SS Rally wheels, and Atlas Mags, but are made to modern sizes and specs for the customer that wants the nostalgic look but modern performance.
We offer Michelin high performance tires in black wall, skinny white wall and red line tires.
