Details

This 1967 Chevelle has undergone a no-expense-spared, professional frame-off rotisserie restoration with attention to detail in every aspect of the car. It's finished in Pearl Electric Blue over a custom tan leather interior with suede inserts and adorned with stainless-steel trim. Power comes from a modern, electronically fuel-injected 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine mated to a TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission with hydraulic clutch. Out back is a Ford 9-inch rear end with a Moser aluminum third member configured with 3.55 gears. The engine is cooled by a Griffin aluminum radiator with electronic fans and breathes through an exhaust system consisting of silver ceramic-coated headers routed through stainless-steel pipes and stainless MagnaFlow mufflers. The completely detailed undercarriage with powder-coated frame is fitted with modern suspension upgrades, including a complete QA1 suspension package with tubular upper and lower A-arms, coilovers at all four corners and a 4-link rear end. The bespoke interior features a custom dashboard fitted with Dakota Digital instrumentation and push-button start, a custom center console housing a Pioneer touchscreen stereo, a leather headliner with suede insert and polished stainless-steel tilt steering column. Wilwood disc brakes provide ample stopping power and turning is handled by a Flaming River power rack & pinion steering system. Modern amenities include a Vintage Air heating and cooling system, power windows and power door locks. Other features include Ringbrothers hood hinges, Kindig-It door handles and LED taillights. This Chevelle sits on Foose wheels wrapped in Michelin tires. It was awarded Class Winner and Outstanding Interior Custom at the 2019 Portland Roadster Show and includes a photo diary of the build process.
