Vehicle Description
Known as, "Overlord," this unbelievable 1967 Chevelle custom coupe
was built by The Custom Shop and sits on a Roadster Shop chassis.
It debuted at SEMA in 2019 and was displayed in the SONY booth. It
was a Goodguys 2021 PPG Street Machine of the Year Contender and a
Goodguys Autocross competition participant. This is documented in
the November 2021 issue of Goodguys magazine that is included.
Command Sergeant Major David Vreeland, the owner at the time of
build, nicknamed the car in memory of his father, who was part of
the D-Day invasion force landing in Normandy, France, in June 1944
- code name "Operation Overlord." This Chevelle is truly a
one-a-kind. Some exterior custom features include shaved drip
rails, cowl hood with billet vents, dual sport mirrors with turn
signals, front grille with single headlights, front bumper with
lower grille, chin spoiler, LED light strips and intercooler inlet,
lower rocker panels with removable ground effects, lower rear
quarter exhaust cutouts, rear billet spoilers, rear bumper with
lower diffuser and roll pan. The body was finished in Pure White
with Charcoal Gray accents and blue pinstriping with a 3D edge. The
show-quality paint appears wet with a deep finish. All of the glass
is new and tinted 30 percent. All of the trim is finished in satin
black. The car has the perfect stance on Cor wheels that have a
brushed finish with a satin gray center. The front wheels are 19x8
with 235-35-19 Toyo tires. The rear was mini-tubbed for the 20x12
wheels with 315-25-20 tires. The completely custom interior is
truly remarkable with its unique design. The custom panels were
covered in Enduratex materials and faux leather. Some of the

subwoofers throughout the entire vehicle. The trunk compartment is
boxed and upholstered with windows to display the sound system and
Odyssey batteries with LED lights. The engine compartment is highly
detailed throughout with many custom features, including LED

clear the Procharger and wheels. Everything, including the custom
engine cover and radiator support panel, was finished in gray to
match the exterior color. It's equipped with Eddie Motorsports

Procharger D1X Supercharged LQ9 V8 engine with over 700hp. It
dynoed with 620rwhp on 13 pounds of boost, and the dyno sheet is

coupled to a TREMEC TR6060 6-speed manual transmission. It's
equipped with a Hays Dragon Claw dual-disc clutch. The power is
transferred to a Fab 9-inch posi-traction rear end. The
undercarriage is also highly detailed with many custom features
throughout. The Roadster Shop chassis was powder-coated Prismatic
