1965 Chevrolet Chevelle

Up for sale in our Tampa Showroom is one of the biggest muscle car legends, and the beginning to one of the longest stories in Americana, the 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle 300. The Chevelle was started off the Malibu platform to be an excellent daily driver and a true family car, and was built with a trim package known as the Chevelle. This would later be taken off as a trim and made into its own model in the later 1960's. This Chevelle here is a true work of art, and was restored to look exactly like it would have off the showroom floor in 1965. The engine is a very well running 230 cubic inch inline 6, which although wasn't famous for it's horsepower, it does make up for undeniable reliability. The transmission is your classic column shift called "Three on the Tree", which goes in and out of gear very cleanly and effficiently, making this car a fantastic daily driver. The car has been upgraded where it counts, with tubular control arms in the front suspension, and new shocks all the way around. The interior is a beautiful turquoise vinyl bench seat in both the front and rear, with the classic styling across the dashboard. The good news is, the car was upgraded with a CD player in the glove box, giving you modern sound quality out of the speakers, but hidden away so the style wasn't taken away. The exterior is painted in a stunning turquoise paint job, with a very deep gloss clear coat and accented with custom LED lighting underneath which is hidden away enough to not take away from the originality, but still add a very nice effect at a car show. Options include AM/FM Radio, CD Player, Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior, Radial Tires, Raised White Letters and a numbers matching engine/transmission.
