Transforming an Icon: WhippleD Chevelle's Grand Unveiling
Prepare to be impressed by the exciting world premiere of the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, affectionately known as "WhippleD." This spectacular vehicle, powered by CTEK, will grace the stage at the SEMA Show, promising to be one of the highlights of the event.
Experience Innovation at the CTEK Booth
This custom build takes center stage in CTEK's booth, celebrated for its expertise in battery charging and power management. The unveiling is set for a specific date at the show, where automotive enthusiasts and industry professionals will witness the remarkable craftsmanship and advanced technology behind WhippleD.
Power and Performance Redefined
WhippleD is not your average Chevelle. Initially designed as a classic big-block muscle car, it has undergone an incredible transformation under the vision of Omar Schmitt, the owner of a well-known international restaurant chain. He envisioned this high-performance machine equipped with a CTEK CS FREE adaptive booster system and a formidable Supercharged LSX 408 engine paired with a Whipple 3.0 supercharger.
This custom build ensures that performance meets cutting-edge technology through a Holley Terminator engine management system and a Tremec T56 transmission, which provides seamless shifts for an exhilarating driving experience.
Striking Aesthetic and Superior Interior
The Chevelle's aesthetics are equally innovative. Its eye-catching Valspar paint will surely command attention, complemented by Budnik Spiders wheels and high-performance Toyo tires. Inside, the vehicle boasts luxurious denim blue leather upholstery and a premium sound system featuring Focal yellow carbon fiber speakers, making it just as impressive on the inside as its powerful exterior.
Engineering Excellence Behind the Build
The technical specifications of WhippleD reveal a commitment to excellence. Featuring a custom NHR one-off chassis, it comes equipped with a Watts 4-link rear suspension and an independent tubular front suspension. Additionally, Shock Wave air suspension from Air Ride Technologies raises the bar on performance, ensuring that this vehicle is not just a showpiece but also track-ready.
Dustin Hacker, owner of Nostalgia Hot Rods, reflects on the project by stating, "This build is all about going big and making a statement. The CTEK booth, where performance meets innovation, is the perfect place for such a powerful reveal." This showcase will highlight how modern automotive technology integrates seamlessly with classic designs.
Building on Previous Success
The partnership between Schmitt and Nostalgia Hot Rods has already produced significant acclaim with their previous project— a 1946 Willys Jeepster that turned heads at the past SEMA Show. This earlier project set the stage for WhippleD, as both the builder and the client sought to push boundaries and make a substantial impact at this premier event.
