Vehicle Description
This is the kind of muscle car recipe you love to see. Take a 1966
Chevrolet Chevelle hardtop, add big block power, four-on-the-floor,
a custom A/C interior, and wrap it all in a slick silver paint with
Super Sport badging. And when the build is so fresh that there's
less than 50 miles on it, well then, you know you have a
winner.
The impressiveness of this classic starts with the respray of the
factory-correct Chateau Slate silver. It's a daring color on a '60s
classic because it has to compete with the chrome for all that
shine. It means a serious investment in the deep clearcoat and very
straight panels. That way, when the sunlight hits this coupe,
there's a seamless shine that flows over the whole body, and
connects this car to its iconic wide chrome bumpers. But the other
reason for this shine is to hide some of this car's aggression.
Without such great paint, you'd instantly notice how large the Coys
wheels are - especially the 20-inch rear ones that tuck so cleanly
under the Coke bottle rear fenders. It's a clear indication that
there's a lot invested in the drivertrain...but more on that in a
moment.
While this is an aggressive classic, it also has a premium side.
That's why the black vinyl roof on the exterior is a nice preview
of the interior color. There have been plenty of investments to
keep the door panels, dash, headliner, and insignia bucket seats
feeling quite fresh. And because this has plenty of room for family
and friends, you'll be glad to have features to keep them
comfortable. This includes the retro-style AM/FM stereo with modern
iPod connection, and air conditioning blowing cold with modern
R134a. But this is also very much a driver's machine. You'll slip
behind the classic Chevy sports steering wheel, and this will give
you a clear view of the full upgraded gauge panel that includes a
large speedo and tach. Plus, the stick shift in the center console
is just calling out for your right hand.
The engine bay looks like it could win awards all on its own. This
fresh build has a butter-smooth firewall and slick inner fender
walls that funnel your attention to the motor. And this V8 is the
perfect mix of shine, bold paint, and an overall tidy setup. The
air topper might say 396, but this is actually a larger 454
cubic-inch big block V8. And not only do you get more displacement,
but also there are plenty of go-fast goodies, such as a Demon
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, MSD ignition, Kar House
large aluminum radiator, and Hooker Super Comp headers. You have
complete control over this powerhouse and its thunderous soundtrack
thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. If this sounds like a
terrific performance classic, then you'll also love the suspension
upgrades like the four-link rear w/adjustable coilovers, power
steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and modern performance tires.
This classic Chevelle hardtop is an enduring icon that has been
freshly restored and upgraded to be a true stunner. That's why we
know this deal will be leaving here soon. Call today!!!
