1966 Chevelle asking $45k, bo.......
I am the fourth owner of this true southern Belle. This car spent its entire life in Tennessee up until September of 2015. Between 2009 and 2011 it went through a full photo documented rotisserie restoration.
This car, with its style, looks and thundering big block has a hard time with being categorized. Is it a Hot Rod? Muscle Car? Pro Touring? RestoMod? Street Machine? Street Cruiser? It fits many categories doesn’t it?
Starting with a 454 that was bored .030 to bring the cubes up to 468, the engine includes SPP Flat Top Pistons, 1969 Corvette Square Port Heads, Weiand Intake, heads and intake have been professionally ported and polished to match. An 850 AED carb tops the intake. The four bolt main motor is using a steel crank. Exhaust runs through HPC coated Sanderson Headers into custom bent exhaust. It fits tight to the body with no rattles and doesn’t hang low or out of place. Ignition is all MSD, Dizzy, 6AL box and coil. The engine dyno’d at around 550hp, and yet it still runs on pump gas. All that power, and yet it cruises down the road nicely. But stomp on it, and hang on! A huge aluminum radiator keeps everything in check, this one runs cool No overheating problems here.
Power goes into the Muncie Rock Crusher M22 by way of a GM Nodular 12lb flywheel that has been balanced to the engine. An Organic Zoom clutch is rated at 700hp. The trans has a blowshield as well. A custom 3” driveshaft with large U joints is also balanced and feeds the power into a new Posi 12 bolt Moser rear with 3:55 gears. The Muncie is very tight, no sloppy shifts here.
The front suspension is all new with new bushings, tyrods etc. All new front disc brakes and QA1 adjustable coilovers. The rear has all new drum brakes and RideTech coilovers as well as an adjustable 4 Link system. Billet Specialties Bonneville G rims are at all four corners, 18x8 front and 20x8.5 rears. The car sits right and handles very nicely.
Everything under the car is new and well done. Fuel lines, brake lines, Emergency brake cables etc, etc. Even the gas tank is new also. The floors on this car are 100% original and are perfect. Painted chassis black, there are no areas that have been fixed or repaired. This is by far the most solid Chevelle I have ever had the pleasure of owning.
The body is straight, and the paint is flat and shiny. The rear quarters are the original ones to this car. No patch panels or replacement. The doors and fenders as well as the stock flat hood are in incredible shape as well. The car has been painted back to its original color of Mist Blue Metallic. I was told it was painted using DuPont Chromabase. The paint is flat having been sanded and buffed to a nice gloss. There are a few chips and minor imperfections though. She’s a driver, not a trailer queen. I would rate the paint as a high 7-8, although I am really fussy, you may think it is better and rate it higher.
All trim fits really nicely; all weatherstrips are new as are the door fuzzies. All the glass is new as well and is factory tint glass. The interior is also new and again is in the factory original color. This one still has the factory bench seat and four speed as it was born with. The dash has been upgraded with the factory style gauges instead of “Idiot” lights. All are in working order and seem accurate. The only gauge hanging under the dash is the “Knee Knocker” Tach. There is an aftermarket stereo, factory looking though.
Are you are looking for a bad to the bone hot rod Chevelle, but also something that has not been cut up, then this is the car for you. Adjust the coilovers up and put stock wheels on it and you would think it was a fully restored car. Until you cranked the key that is!
If you have any questions then please reach out to me. I will answer everything I can as honestly as possible. I am a true car guy, I am not a dealer trying to put something over on anyone. I’m just moving onto another toy so this one has to go.
