Roadster Shop's 70 Chevelle - Back in Black

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:

whats up with the bubbletop on the lift ?

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

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

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!

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.

I'm really digging the black with red.

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