1966 Chevrolet Chevelle
View Description
This Chevelle 300 is finished in its original shade of Artesian Turquoise, done in a PPG base coat/clear coat process. It also sports a new interior, done in its original Medium Fawn trim color, using original materials. To improve occupant safety, new three point seat belts have been added. The restoration of the car was completed in 2013, and during the resto process, a new Classic Air A/C system was added, complete with stock controls used to actuate the system; along with new bumpers, door seals, window seals, and trunk seal. The floor was insulated, and the firewall was given double insulation. However basic the above sounds, this Chevelle is not to be trifled with, even though it looks like a nicely restored grocery getter, it drivetrain will get anyone's attention. With less than 1500 miles on the drivetrain, the engine and transmission are barely getting broken in. Starting with a far-from original 383 CID V8 010 Nickel block, this stroker has some premium internals: Eagle crank and rods, SpeedPro 10:1 flat-top pistons (reciprocating assembly has been balanced and clearanced), Dart Iron Eagle Platinum heads with 200cc runners and 70cc chambers, a 223/233 hydraulic cam on a 112 degree lobe centerline...
