Roadster Shop's 70 Chevelle - Back in Black

[Roadster Shop]

Well, we have decided to send our 70 Chevelle through Barrett-Jackson to find its new owner and let some one else have as much fun with it as we have had. While it is definitely sad to see this one go, we have to make room for the next build for the 2011 season featuring our new Fast Track Chassis and Suspension system. It looks like we have a prime time spot Saturday night so bid early and bid often! ;-)

We decided to freshen everything up on the car including the color. While the bright green was definitely recognizable and did it's job, it simply was not for everyone. After much debate, we have decided on a color that is more mainstream and will appeal to a wider audience.

Here is the revised rendering. There will be a few minor changes from the rendering, but this should give you the idea. (The wheels will most likely have brushed hoops w/o pinstriping and we are trying to decide on painting the bumpers matte or gloss to match the body.)

Now that i like! Sure wish i had a pocket full of gold.:thumbsup:

[kennyd]

whats up with the bubbletop on the lift ?

[tones2SS]

:drool: :drool:
I liked the green, but the black and that paint scheme is KILLER! Very nice.:thumbsup:
GLWS.:cheers:

[Northeast Rod Run]

I never did like the green, but it did stand out as a marketing tool. that black set-up looks awesome!

[GregWeld]

So much better!

Now forget the red/orange stripping - just let it be a Chevelle - black and nasty to the max... :D

I like the mat on the bumpers - and maybe a couple other places - hood etc but without the pin stripping.

BJ will be "interesting" this year.... we'll all get a tell on where prices are headed... flat - up - or down. My hope is up a bit!

[GregWeld]

Forgot to finish my "thoughts"....

It's easy for someone to ADD stripping - or colors/mats etc.... but at an auction --- you want to appeal to the widest possible audience you can. Sometimes that means less is more.

[XcYZ]

I'm really digging the black with red.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Very wise move. The green was very "personalized". Swing for the fence!

[waynieZ]

The black looks great.

[MarkM66]

Very cool car, probably one of the best pro touring '70 Chevelles around.

The dash and interior is really well done. :hail:

I agree with Greg, and keep the red pinstripes off, especially on the wheels. I'd like inner fenders too. :cheers:

Good luck. :thumbsup:

[RPM HOTRODS]

Kenny don't you worry about the Bubbletop!!!!!!! Hey Jer nice lines on the Chevelle!!!!!! Looks Bitchin

[c10addict]

Yeah Jer... Reminds of one I've seen before!!

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn89/c10addict/DSC00412.jpg

[awr68]

Loving the black! Why change the wheels? I would just brush the outer hoops.

[youthpastor]

whats up with the bubbletop on the lift ?

that's exactly what I was thinking:D

[Roadster Shop]

Yeah Jer... Reminds of one I've seen before!!

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn89/c10addict/DSC00412.jpg


Yeah, it is going to be like that.... but nice! :lol: (j/k, that thing is bad a$$)


I saw how well the Firebird did and figured that black cars bring the big bucks :lol:

[The WidowMaker]

damn, id love to be able to afford a quality paint job, let alone a quality reshoot. looks good!

[RPM HOTRODS]

Why is everyone worried about the bubbletop when the mystery machine is in the background.

[kennyd]

how did i miss that in the background , WTF ?

[HRBS]

That van was the first thing I saw.... doesnt say much about me huh ? :lol:
Anyway.... Phil, the black version will be killer !

[RPM HOTRODS]

Phil, is that Dean in there with red hair?

[protour73]

Personally I love the red pinstripe with the black, Phil.

Maybe it's just the lack of some details in the rendering but I detect an absence of door handles? Are you shaving them?

The matte on the hood and bumpers is a nice touch too. You guys do some incredible work in that shop. I will have to drive the Camaro up there in the spring since you guys are so close to me.

Scott

[Camaroguy]

Do you think that the repaint will hurt the price of the car? The only reason I say that is because the buyers will know it is not the original paint and it was a reshoot over another paint job. Unless you did it differently than I am thinking.

[garickman]

I don't think anything the Roadster Shop does would hurt the price of a car.

[conekiller13]

I very much like the black.......it's the best color option......that's why my cars are black, my bike is black, my guitar is black.....:cheering:


Anyway, they only way I can the respray hurting the value is because the car was a bit iconic in the green.....love it or hate it the green stood out. If your a potential buyer thinking "I want that car I saw in the Magazines!" then you may be a bit disappointed. However if your the guy thinking man I want that car but that color.....ughhh......well than it's perfect.

I think the stripes are understated enough to be attractive with out being obnoxious.

[Roadster Shop]

how did i miss that in the background , WTF ?

Kenny, don't worry about that one either!!!

I said we were going to build something new for 2011... meet "The Vandal". Pro-touring 66 Econoline parts van and shop truck.

Well, we did not do the Maco scuff-and-shoot approach on this car, so I don't think the color change will have any negative effect on the price. We are getting close to 400 hours in the paint job to make sure that it is absolutely perfect.

I don't think anything the Roadster Shop does would hurt the price of a car.

Thanks man! We were a little concerned about losing the iconic value of the car, but it was such a love it or hate it color that we felt leaving it green might hurt the sale of the car more than it would help.

Door handles are staying. While a cleen black Chevelle does look good, this just is not that car. If it had stock bumpers/trim, stockish interior... I would definitely say straight black would be the way to go. With everything done to the car, I think a straight black paint job would look like we left something out. It definitely needs the matte finnishes and red accents.

Eric just emailed me a revised version with the brushed hoops.

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss79/RS-Perf/c2a6385f.jpg

[clill]

Do you have a version with shiney center ? Shiney wheels look good up on stage.

[clill]

And I really like that van...

[RPM HOTRODS]

That damn thing was the green from the mystery machine. I can't believe I never put the two together...... Now that it is black whats next Bat Mobile or Night Rider. You guys are always on top of your game!!!!

[1badchevelle]

Im loving the grill. Will that be made in house or is someone making them already.

[Flash68]

We are getting close to 400 hours in the paint job to make sure that it is absolutely perfect.


How many hours will you be into the new paint/body when it's done with the changes?

Killer car in black or green! :thumbsup:

[Roadster Shop]

Yeah black definitely can't be beat when it is clean....

We were thinking a red stripe to match the calipers. It shows up red on the original rendering, but looks more orange when posted here???

[214Chevy]

Yeah, black is so gangster looking. You know....like a villian. :rockin: But, you guys are right, you can wipe on it all day long. By the time you back out of the driveway, it is back dirty again. :censored: But, I love it.

[larknut]

Is it just me or does the green lip wheels look good with the new color on the car? I know it isn't for mass appeal, but I kinda like it.

Did you guys powdercoat the rear bumper, what color? it looks great!!

[RPM HOTRODS]

Got to say the f#$%er is killer in black...... In my mirror!!!!!! But really, its always hard to change up a car that you put so much in the first time around and still make it better the second time!!!! GREAT JOB, Glad to see you guys can get something done!!!!!!

[speedshftr]

bone crusher your rite its cleaner than our hospital:wow:

[Roadster Shop]

..... In my mirror!!!!!! GREAT JOB, Glad to see you guys can get something done!!!!!!

Haha, that is hilarious. On the next car we are adding a large 3rd brake light just so you can see it from the back of the pack.

Although maybe if you weren't looking in your mirror so much you could keep it on the paved section of the track!:lol: I've heard that's faster!

I better get back to work before you start yelling at me,

[RPM HOTRODS]

TEXAS, You did beat me on the autoX. But outside the track I really think you got you ass handed to ya a few times that night. I do believe your brother was riding with me that night. Goolsby you better get back to work too.... Don't you have stuff to get done!!!! These young guys!!!! What are we going to do with them? Phil post some more pictures already. I got to go see ya.

[ht turbo monaro]

The car looks so cool you guys are the best around thats for sure,can i ask are the wheels being pulled apart to be brushed and pianted.

[BaddestBuick]

X2 where are these from?

Im pretty sure theyre BMW E32/E34 EURO headlights

[groovyjay]

Super :cool: work again!

[RPM HOTRODS]

I know on my next paint job I'm working in the tire theme but I was thinking on the the Chevelle Jer could do the fence theme for you Phil.

OUCH!!


ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[silver63c10]

I saw this thing on the road before the Goodguys show at Texas Motor Speedway, definitely stood out in the green.

It would be pretty cool to include a bit of that color somewhere on it as an homage, maybe instead of the red for the pinstripes or something in the interior. Looks like you could swim in that new black, though, good stuff.

I would say have the painter sign the car in that green on the under side......

[jake72ss]

it would be great if there were some more pics of this car especially of the interior.

We are just finishing up the stripes on the car and should have some pictures of the completed product late tonight or tomorrow.

We ended up painting the wheels matte black centers with gloss hoops after all. The Forgeline wheels look great in this color combo!

You said it Dan. If ever there was a Chevelle blueprint w those seats that'd be it!

[The WidowMaker]

looks good. i too would love to hear what the finish was on the bumpers. i may have missed it somewhere though.

[mild2wild]

Looks awesome. Should attract some buyers at BJ.

[Roadster Shop]

Thanks again to everyone for the positive comments. The car is just about to come out of the booth so I'll have some updated pics before the end of the day.

WidowMaker - the bumpers are a flat clear

[Van B]

I have lusted this car since I first saw it at Motorstate in 2009. The only things I would change are to give it inner fenders and to fab up a tube for the intake so the filter wasn't hanging off the throttle body.

Good luck at Scottsdale. I see the gray Mopar was listed too.

[The WidowMaker]

WidowMaker - the bumpers are a flat clear

copy. they look amazing! i love all the work on the "body kit". ive thrown around the idea for years to do the same to mine, but i dont have the tools or the talent. you guys do some amazing work.

[Vegas69]

I dig it but I'll be interested to see how it goes over with the Barrett Jackson crowd. I've often thought if I ever decide to sell my car that I would go back to a brushed or polished wheel. Looks killer!

[214Chevy]

I dig it but I'll be interested to see how it goes over with the Barrett Jackson crowd.

I'm with you on the Barrett Jackson ordeal. I know that's where alot of big money guys are and the potential to sell a car there for a great sum of money is high. But, I wouldn't trust Barrett Jackson as far as I can see him.

[rjsjea]

nicest Chevelle ever....period!

X2!!:yes:

[69x22]

Man the change on the car is awesome but I can't get over the shop you guys have and how clean it is, hell you even have projects "stacked up".

[Roadster Shop]

Thanks guys! Were are really happy with the way the car turned out. Hopefully a few guys in Scottsdale will feel the same way. It is definitely a gamble and we've definitely lost some sleep over the decision. But, it has a prime spot Saturday night and I think the new look will attract a few bidders. The car has definitely done its job from a marketing standpoint, sold several turn key builds, and has proven the performance of our chassis line. It has definitely paid for itself already. It is sad to see it go, but now it is time to free up some capital for the next project car....

There is a lot of effort that goes into keeping the shop looking good but it has to stay on par with the cars that we are building.

We ran out of floor space as new projects came in, so up they went. The Mustang is our car that will begin after Barrett-Jackson. The '36 3-window is on hold as we finish the same customer's other car, The Nova is waiting until the end of January before it starts up again. The 53 Doge wagon on the floor is a car that we just completed a custom chassis for. Since there are no aftermarket suspension components for it, the customer came to us to build a complete chassis to fit the original body.

The Chevelle looks awesome !!! I know there was a lot of discussion over what to do about the color of the car after the altercation with the big black cone in Texas. Don't second guess your decision, I think the new color looks great and it will do well down at Barrett. We'll be watching.
Hope you guys have a great trip.

Phil, Jeremy the car looks great, I really like the red pinstipe. I hope you have a great turn out at Barret Jackson!:thumbsup:

Hey, what did you do with the old tires? I know your a little lite footed, so you didn't use them up all the way. But anyways it looks sick!!!!! Killer job on the makeover. I just hope it gets what you want out of it.

[Nick.V70]

Lovin it!!!:hail:

[Roadster Shop]

Marty - Stay focused here! One car at a time... you are always looking in the background... look at the big car taking up 3/4's of the picture!:lol: :lol: That is a 71 we are doing for a guy out of Cali. It has our complete chassis under it and is getting a twin turbo LS shortly! Details to come.

Chris - thanks... We are confident with the car, just have to wait and see where the bid goes:_paranoid I was out in your neck of the woods today. Did your 9" come back yet?

Randy - Thanks, the red definitely sets it off nicely.

Curt - I still have the old tires if you are looking to make a launch ramp, I'll ship them over. Your 69 Camaro conv't is looking killer!

Brans - Maybe if it was the right one. Everyone wants to trade their left one. I have a feeling the rights may be worth more since they are so rarely traded. :lol:

Everyone else - thanks again for the compliments on the car. The storage rack came by way of the mother of all invention... necessity. We were running out of floor space and had several racks where we stacked chassis waiting to ship. We figured if they can hold 10 chassis, 3 cars shouldn't be a problem.

[nvr2fst]

WOW Phil.
That turned out killer, concidering Im partial to green. You need to do another track car with a vibrant color so you guys can stand out on the course from the rest of the crowd again. Yellow?

[RPM HOTRODS]

Don't worry about shipping them. Just stack them in the parking lot next to your fence usually about 4 high, I nose right into them when I get there. Thanks Phil.

[conekiller13]

Are you guys concerned at all about the lack a of a reserve at BJ? I remember a not so impressive showing for the G-force Cuda (not impressive based on build cost for the car) a few years ago......:_paranoid

We finally have the car all wrapped up and ready to roll out to Arizona.

These look like Penske 8300s :-)
How do you like them and what springs are you running?

They are Bimmer lights with projectors and halo's.

Thanks for the response, what kind of additional electronics did you have to add to make them work?

Also, what about the Penske 8300s in the second pic. Are you happy with them and what springs are you running?

The kid that posted that is literally a kid, not even 18 years old yet.

I deleted his post as it's obvious that he only joined to smear. We don't play that game here.

[frojoe]

Would anyone care to give a mild summary of what "the kid" said? I missed it and just don't understand how anyone could hate on the craftsmanship and finished quality of this sexy, sexy car.

Alright, lets get back to how badass that car looks in black!:thumbsup:

[GregWeld]

Whoa whoa whoa guys!!!!!!!! Calm down! Now lets get things straight! First of all, I do NOT hate this car, it is my most favorite 70 chevelle and I want to build my chevelle just like it! I got to ride in this car with Phil Gerber driving in the autocross and it was amazing!!!!

Now about my post, I did not mean to offend anyone, I just thought y'all wanted to see those pictures because no one else has them, I guess what I said wasn't well thought out. But, think about it, if Phil Gerber didn't wreck the car then what would be the point in spending all that time and money on a different design? But anyways, like you guys said i'm just a stupid 17 year old kid so i'm just gonna get out of y'alls way...



I didn't see your original post... so can't comment... but I will say that we were all young once. What you should remember is that this is a COMMUNITY not just plain white space floating in somewhere cyberville... The other end of your post is read by PEOPLE. People have feelings. If you have to apologize about what you've written... then it probably shouldn't have been written. This community - and some of us have become very good friends and never met - and some have gone out of their way to meet - is about POSITIVE reinforcement and helpful comments and sharing of valuable information. It's NOT a flame place. If you read comments directed at one or the other - if you hang here long enough - you'll see that these people are friends - some quite close to each other although separated by many states. This forum is our collective garage. We come here to hang out - banter - share - help - harass - learn - and just generally to be together. It's a great place to hang out. You can watch tv with one eye and peck away on the keyboard should you read something you feel you'd like to be a part of. Come hang out... say something when you have something to add... you'll like this place and we'll like you. So start over.... WELCOME! :cheers:

Amazing job on the car! I like the fact that it has double adjustable penske shock on it!

So at $150k that had to be a loss.....

I would have valued that car at least $75k higher.

[93Polo]

Don't know that I've ever seen whole cars kept in stock on shelves before.....

I'll take a blk 70 Chevelle to go with a side of 67 Chevy II :lol:

I'm really digging the black with red.

Agreed and I own a green '70.

Are there any plans to produce the hood or front air dam? :cool:

[214Chevy]

So what did the car sell for??:question:

So what did the car sell for??:question:

I was thinking the same thing this weekend. I watched it on TV on and off, but never saw the car.
