Vehicle Description
This 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible was given a full
restoration that really was a transformation. Today it's a drop-top
performance restomod with an upgraded suspension, five-speed
stick-shift, four-wheel disc brakes, and a performance-built 502ci
V8 under the hood. And you get to enjoy it all from the comfort of
the A/C interior.
This makes a nice first impression. The bold red paint is a more
modern application and a great choice for a street machine. There
are hints at the upgraded power with the SS-style hood, 15-inch
polished American Racing Torq Thrust wheels, and wide Mickey
Thompson rear tires for an aggressive stance. Plus, the '67
Chevelle was the right place to start when making a powerful
classic. They had an aggressive front overhang and shapely creased
lines that looked like they were out to own the road. Form-fitting
bright chrome bumpers, good-looking trim, doors that shut with
confidence, and a nice black folding top means this is an
all-around solid cruiser. This was given a full body-off
restoration in the 2000s but there is less than 8,500 miles on it
since completion. So while this is a big power restomod, it also
has really only lived a life of responsible enjoyment and garage
care.
The black roof has a timeless appeal against the red paint, and
that same appeal happens when you take it down, too. This feels
quite inviting from the right investments, including the headliner,
carpeting, dash pad, and door panels. Even the bucket seats look
crisp/clean, right down to the correct trim on the seatbacks. Plus,
the exterior-matching red on the dash, door tops, and steering
wheel give this a coordinated look inside and out of a thoughtful
restoration. It's built to be a fun driver, and so you get an AM/FM
radio for better driving music. And cold-blowing R134a air
conditioning is always welcomed in a drop-top. This is built for
performance, too, with a large AutoMeter tach and Sunpro auxiliary
readouts under the dash. And have you counted the gears on the
Hurst shifter yet?
We hinted at the big power earlier, and so do the racing flags on
the front fenders. And the engine bay loves to put it on full
display. The smooth inner walls funnel all your attention to the
big 502 cubic-inch V8. While the monster displacement is usually
plenty of displacement for most of us, this one also has plenty of
power upgrades. It's built right with an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, a Chevy high rise intake, March serpentine belt setup,
and Hooker headers feeding into the rumbling dual exhaust. The
upgraded Tremec TKO500 five-speed manual transmission gives you
full control over the big power package. This feeds a stout 12-bolt
rear end on its way to those grippy sport tires. An upgraded rear
suspension and a four-wheel power disc brake upgrade are terrific
for all-around control.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, build receipts,
maintenance records, and restoration photos. This is the Chevelle
drop-top that provides slick distinction, extra comfort, and
serious power. So don't miss this deal. Call today!!!
