If the idea of a beautifully conceived and executed Chevelle Resto Mod appeals to you, look no further: this 1965 Super Sport convertible has it all. A true 138-code car with a power convertible top, it has received a body-off rotisserie Resto build-up incorporating choice components and show-quality workmanship by His Place Inc. in Emmitsburg, Maryland. After comprehensive metal prep that included smoothing the firewall, the Chevelle’s body was finished in Mist Blue base/clear coat and polished inside and out. The interior was finished in matching upholstery with Dark Blue Turquoise accents on the Glyde Engineering buckets and back seats, and the original factory gauges used along with a Flaming River tilt column, wood-rimmed Chevrolet Sport steering wheel and floor-mounted shifter. A brand new LS3 Corvette crate engine spins a Vintage Air compressor through a Street and Performance front pulley system while driving 400-plus horses through a 5-speed Tremec transmission with hydraulic clutch to a new 12-bolt 3.73 Positraction rear end. The car’s ride is kept tight via Global West front and rear suspension with negative roll front spindles, heavy duty front and rear sway bars, quick ratio power steering and 4-wheel disc brakes. Capped with a snappy White power soft top and rolling on American Racing Torque Thrusts with Cooper tires, this Resto Mod Chevelle SS convertible is perfect for top-down cruising and the weekend Show-n-Shine.
