Muscle car enthusiasts will have their eyes on Mecum’s Houston 2025 auction, where three stunning Chevrolet Chevelles are set to cross the block on Saturday, April 5. These Chevelles, spanning two model years and featuring both custom and factory-original configurations, showcase the best of Chevrolet’s muscle car legacy.
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Custom Convertible (Lot S262)
Leading the trio is a custom-built 1970 Chevelle Convertible, blending classic styling with modern performance. Under the hood sits a 6.2L LS3 V-8 delivering 525 horsepower, paired with a 4L75E automatic transmission. The car’s Dark Gray exterior is accented with custom black stripes, complementing the TMI custom interior. Performance upgrades include long-tube headers, Hotchkis suspension, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, and Flaming River rack and pinion steering. This build offers a seamless fusion of vintage looks and contemporary muscle.
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Coupe (Lot S237)
For those favoring classic restorations with enhanced performance, this Black Cherry 1970 Chevelle features a newly built GM 454 CI V-8 engine and a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. A recent frame-off restoration added a cowl hood, SS badges, ceramic-coated long tube headers, and dual exhaust. The custom interior boasts Dakota Digital gauges, an upgraded Autosound radio, and a premium Kenwood rear speaker system. Rolling on Polished American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with staggered Yokohama and Nitto tires, this Chevelle is built for both show and street performance.
1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Coupe (Lot S268)
This 1971 Chevelle SS Coupe retains its factory Z15 SS package and packs a 402 CI Turbo Jet LS3 big-block V-8 under its cowl induction hood. A four-speed manual transmission makes it a true driver’s machine, while Holley Sniper fuel injection modernizes performance. The black exterior with white stripes gives it a menacing presence, while the comprehensive interior restoration includes black bucket seats with Houndstooth accents. Equipped with QA1 suspension, power steering, and classic SS wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires, this Chevelle offers a perfect balance of factory originality and drivability.
