Win a Roadster Shop-Chassis 1969 Chevelle LSX Restomod + $50,000 Cash

The build: RM34, by the numbers

RestoMods' 34th giveaway car is a 1969 Chevelle built by New England Muscle Cars in Lakeville, MA, and the spec sheet reads like a pro-touring wish list. The foundation is a Roadster Shop SPEC chassis with Ridetech coilovers at all four corners and a 4-link rear. Power comes from a tall-deck 466ci LSX with a Callies Ultra billet crank and rods, Mast 305 Black Label heads, a Comp cam, and LS7 1.8 roller rockers, fed by dual Aeromotive 340 pumps so it can drink E85 or 91 octane. Behind it: a heavy-duty 4L80E with a Reid case and 2800-stall billet converter, a QA1 composite driveshaft, and a Ford 9-inch with 3.70s and an Eaton Truetrac. Wilwood 6-piston front / 4-piston rear brakes with a Bosch iBooster handle the stopping, with Michelin Pilot Sports on staggered 19/20 OG Rally-style wheels. Inside it's a custom black TMI interior with electric buckets, Dakota Digital VHX gauges, Vintage Air, and a Sparc Industries wheel on an Ididit tilt column.

Why it matters

This isn't a crate-motor-in-a-stock-frame job — the SPEC chassis, billet-bottom-end LSX, and truck-grade 4L80E are the combination serious pro-touring shops charge deep six figures to replicate. RestoMods didn't publish a dyno number, and we won't invent one; suffice to say a 466 with Mast 305s won't be shy. The operator pegs the car alone at a $180,000 ARV, with a separate $50,000 check bringing the total grand prize to $230,000. The operator's track record matters too: this is their 34th car, with 33 named winners before it and an independent administrator (Compliance Sweepstakes Services) running the drawing.

The fine print worth knowing

Entries close at 9:00 p.m. PST on August 7, 2026, with the drawing on or about August 17. The cheapest one-time paid entry is the $11 Silver Upgrade (20 entries) — but be aware the entry funnel's default 'Car Club' option is a $12.95/month membership that auto-renews until you cancel, so pick the one you actually want. Entries earned during the July 11-31 window are doubled. No purchase is necessary: there's a mail-in free-entry route — a handwritten card sent to the sweepstakes administrator, worth 50 entries per mail-in — with the exact address and card requirements spelled out in the Official Rules. The sweepstakes is open to residents of the US and Canada, 18+ (19 in a few jurisdictions), with a valid driver's license. And remember a $230k prize comes with a real tax bill — that $50k check exists partly for that reason.
