The paint, the color of the paint, the interior, the engine and drive train, the undercarriage, all absolutely excellent!
This car was meticulously restored, and upgraded everywhere it counts. So much so, that if you can only have 1 car...This should be it! It's that nice!...Everywhere!
The engine looks as if it's sitting in a jewel box, but make no mistake, the Crate 454 will delight all of the senses once it jumps to life and you're behind the wheel. Right behind the engine is a very fine, strong, smooth shifting 700R4 automatic that just adds to the driving pleasure.

That's pretty much everything we need..Isn't it?
The provenance this Chevelle has is just a bonus as every receipt for the build, the factory build sheet, and the factory window sticker are present and accompany the car.
