Vehicle Description
Burgundy and Black work real well on the classic lines of this
Chevelle. It's also been built real well with an attention to
detail and quality of workmanship that shines through on the
outside, inside and even underneath.
It looks like the very idea of a vinyl roof was created for this
particular car. The chrome tracing the side window frames from the
top of the windshield to the point where it reverses direction
arcing up and over the rear fender highlights the smooth flow of
the lower body from front to rear. The rich Burgundy color is
perfect and is complimented by a black pinstripe down the side. Up
front an SS 396 badge leads the way in the center of a black grill
with three chrome bars and quad headlights underlined by nice
chrome bumper. The hood flows back into twin power bulges with
grills at the base of the windshield. Chrome trims out the wheel
wells and there is a blacked-out panel between the taillights with
another SS 396 badge, underlined by another sharp looking bumper
with a couple exhaust tips peeking out from underneath it.
Open the door and you will find a pretty simple Black interior that
is in very good condition. The door panel has a pattern of
horizontal lines embossed into it with thin chrome piping edging
things out and an SS 396 at the center top. The bucket seats are
sweet reupholstered in vertical pleats and two textures of vinyl
with 396 Super Sport embroidered into the headrest. That same look
as well as the embroidery is echoed in the back seat as well. A
wrapped three-spoke wheel has racing flags on the center button and
sits on a tilt column in front of a stock dash. The center console
holds the horseshoe shifter for the automatic transmission as well
as having a bit of handy storage. One more SS 396 appears
discreetly on the dash in front of the passenger with a tight
headliner and sharp carpets tying the look together nicely.
Open the hood and you will find a healthy 396 motor nestled down in
a neat and clean engine bay. There is a chrome Edelbrock air filter
assembly as well as chrome valve covers and alternator adding their
splash of flash to this engine. Under that air filter is a single
plane intake manifold that mounts a Holley 4-barrel carb on an
angle in order to get a more even mixture to the cylinders. Nice.
Long tube headers wind out the bottom to Flowmaster mufflers which
gives this car a really great sound. Power flows back through a
3-speed automatic to the rear wheels sitting on coil springs and
located by trailing arms. Up front, control arms and coil springs
work with the power steering and a beefy sway bar to help this car
handle well. Power front disc brakes assure that you can haul this
thing back down from speed if you decide to let the horses run, and
the rubber meets the road through 275/60R15s in the back and
215/75R15s in the front mounted on those sweet looking chrome
Torque Thrust wheels.
Good looking, great sounding, and fun to drive. Come on down and
check out this quality build presented in awesome colors.
