SEMA 2009: Wicked Chevelle isn't as fuelish as it seems
1970 Duramax Chevrolet Chevelle custom - Click above for high-res image gallery
The clean exterior of this 1970 Chevelle hides a wicked little secret. If you take a look at the photo above, you'll see what we mean. The bundle of plumbing you see spilling out of the engine bay tells only part of the story. That's no overworked Chevy small block in there, it's a Duramax diesel that has been pushed to new heights via an outrageous custom twin-turbo setup. The stripped-out interior and racing slicks out back show the true purpose of this ride. It was built by Mike Racke and made Popular Hot Rodding's Top Ten Builds this year. We couldn't agree more.

Heh, did this make it to ABG because it has a diesel? Something tells me this car doesn't get a high MPG rating.
