ULTIMATE RESTOMOD MUSCLE
In the world of vintage American muscle, finding the ideal blend of
classic looks and modern performance is the holy grail. This
stunning 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle 300 Deluxe represents that
ultimate combination - a ground-up Restomod executed to the highest
levels. With its menacing black-over-red color scheme, this
Chevelle makes an undeniable statement. But it's what lies beneath
the laser-straight sheet metal that easily sets this Restomod apart
from the crowd.
THUNDERING 496ci STROKER V8 WITH PERFORMANCE UPGRADES GALORE
Anchoring this unruly beast is an absolute monster of a creation
from the gearheads at Don's Garage in Kenosha, WI. The stout 496ci
V8 was built by stroking the car's existing 454 block. With a slew
of performance upgrades like aluminum heads, 10.5:1 compression to
still run on 93 octane, MSD ignition, Hedman Elite headers, and
much much more, this Chevelle pumps out an estimated 550hp! Other
impressive components include:
• New 2.5" exhaust with Flowmaster 50 series delta flow mufflers
and Hedman Elite Extreme-Duty headers
• Black Summit Racing "Chevrolet" script valve covers to compliment
the sinister dark theme of the car
• MSD ignition
• Vibrant Performance braided flexible race hoses
• New Aluminum radiator with electric cooling fans
• Mini starter / high torque
• Aluminum heads with 10.5:1 compression
• Runs on 93 Octane Gasoline
UPGRADED DRIVELINE AND DEPENDABILITY
Transferring all that V8 power is a dependably fun MDL Modified
Tremec TKX 5-speed manual trans, featuring a beefy Kevlar/Ceramic
clutch, lightweight flywheel, and advanced tri-cone synchronizers
with 8,000 RPM shift capability for smooth and fast shifting. Out
in the back is a 12-bolt rear-end housing with 3:73 gears, a new
gear set, new heavy-duty 3.5" driveshaft including new weld yokes
and u-joints. To ensure the chassis can handle all the power, this
Chevelle received:
• New UMI Performance complete front-end kit - UMI Performance
Front upper and lower tubular control arm kit
• 4-wheel disc brakes with Wilwood Forged Dynalite Big Brake front
brake kit
• Hurst chrome shifter with white 5-speed shift ball
METICULOUSLY RESTORED BEAUTY
The attention to detail on this Chevelle's restoration is
remarkable. The body was laboriously straightened as you can see in
our photos before being refinished in rich black paint that looks
deep and wet from every angle. All chrome and trim were refinished
or replaced for a brilliant shine. The interior received equal
attention in contrasting bright red vinyl including the front
bench, door panels, headliner, and dash that includes a factory
"knee-knocker" tachometer. Creature comforts include a Retrosound
radio with Bluetooth/SiriusXM with Chevelle Logo Pack, paired with
Retrosound 6x9" Speakers with Neodymium Magnets. Other standout
features include a Hurst chrome shifter with a white 5-speed shift
ball as well as a beautifully finished splatter-painted trunk that
includes a full matching redline spare tire and jack.
This 1966 Chevelle restomod combines the absolute best attributes
of vintage Detroit muscle with modern performance upgrades. It's a
meticulous, high-caliber performance build that was restored to be
both shown and driven aggressively. For the collector who demands a
no-compromise American muscle car with incredible V8 power, fun,
and looks to match, this Chevelle is in a class by itself. If
