Vehicle Description
First-generation Chevy IIs were an instant hit on the racing scene
because it was the best way to drop the largest V8 powerplants into
the smallest package. It's what made the car a sleeper legend, and
today this 1965 Chevrolet Chevy II is a modern interpretation of
that speedy icon. After all, once you look past the great paint and
A/C interior, you'll find a fuel-injected LS1 Chevy heart.
Chevrolet made these cars sleepers from the factory, and that
attitude has served it well right into modern times. Rendered in
extremely slick and fashionable two-tone white and orange, this is
the product of a quality restoration that really made sure the
paint looked nice and the panels were at their best. And while
everything was being looked at, it was also made sure that the
bright bumpers and grille remained mirror-like. But we have a
feeling that there was not too much serious work needed on this
car. The coupe started out as a low mileage (28K) example, before
being transformed into something a bit more wild 21K miles ago.
Today it certainly looks more aggressive with features like the
black b-pillars that match the tinted new windows, chrome fuel cell
filler cap, and 15-inch Billet Specialties polished alloy
wheels.
Inside, the fresh seat covers, matching door panels, new headliner,
and plush carpeting are all great investments for any classic. But
then you sit behind chrome and carbon fiber steering wheel, and you
instantly realize this is far from stock. The original dash panel
now has space for great upgrades such as the AM/FM/CD stereo with a
USB input to interface with the most modern devices. Plus, the
R134a air conditioning is a great way to stay cool while looking
cool in this Chevy II. As you look over the full set of Dolphin
gauges, you get the feeling there's something special in the engine
bay even before you twist the key and hear it roar.
When you open the hood, everyone will instantly start asking
questions about the much more modern V8 that fills the engine bay.
You're looking at a 5.7-liter fuel-injected LS1 V8. This is far
more modern than anything from the '60s, and when it was the top
motor in cars like the fourth-generation Camaro, it developed well
over 300 horsepower. That makes this Chevy II a hot little number.
But power is nothing without control. That's why you have an
upgraded front suspension with tubular A-arms, a sway bar, and
four-wheel disc brakes. But more than just a pure performance
machine, this has great anytime driving features such as power
steering and a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive.
That's why the thoughtful build also has an aluminum radiator with
a large electric fan - the car wants to make sure it stays cool no
matter if it's on a performance run or just sitting in traffic with
the A/C running.
Here's a turnkey classic that looks this good and is ready for
everything you are. An ideal mix like this is usually not this
obtainable, so hurry and call today!!!
