Chevrolet Chevelle Slammer
GM’s bow-tie brand has prepped an
old-school stanced study for SEMA, the Chevelle Slammer.
This 1969 Chevelle
runs on GM’s all-new LT376/535 crate engine based on the same V8 powering the
Camaro SS and Corvette Stingray, but with a unique camshaft-and-heads package
to help it gain another 75 horses for a total of 535 hp.
The V8 is mated to Chevrolet’s new SuperMatic 4L75-E
electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission with a torque
capacity of 650 lb.-ft. As you may have already figured out, the Slammer was
made to advertise GM’s new crate engine and transmission, but in order to get
your attention, Chevy’s designers rejuvenated the ’69 Chevelle with some tasty
mods.
Riding on 18-inch front and 20-inch rear polished
wheels with an air-suspension offering the necessary stance when stationary,
the Chevelle also gets a 6th gen-Camaro performance braking system. The deep
black exterior paint is contrasted by a red interior.
Inside, the Slammer
gained front seats from a 2016 Camaro and custom gauges in the instrument
panel.
