1966 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE CUSTOM COUPE

Details

Over five years went into this painstaking frame-off restoration. It features a 396ci 4-bolt main engine from a 1970 Chevelle professionally assembled with ARP bolts. It has COMP cams 280 Magnum cam with all-matching valve train. The 1969 427/390hp heads were professionally gone through and set up for the cam. With 10.4:1 compression, it runs great on premium pump gas. It's equipped with an MSD box, distributor and plug wires. The 1-3/4' headers going through Pypes X-pipe exhaust and MagnaFlow

mufflers sounds amazing. The M21 4-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly. Original 12-bolt rear with 3:42 gears has all-new bearings and axles. With CPP C5 front brakes with tall spindles and all-new drums in back, the car stops extremely well with a dual-diaphragm brake booster. It has all-black Energy Suspension bushings and body mounts, and a powder-coated, quick-ratio steering box yields a driver's feel. It rides on Ridler wheels wrapped in Continental Contact DW tires. The body was stripped and painted with high-quality paint and clear, all rust was addressed and it has new one-piece trunk pan. The bottom of the floor was painted with gloss black POR-15. Frame was sandblasted and painted with satin-black POR-15, which provides a really nice contrast to the floor. The paint was wet-sanded and polished with all 3M products. The glass is original (except the windshield), and the trim shines brightly. The interior is all new down to the cushions and features FatMat sound insulation on the floor and ceiling. It's fitted with an updated American Autowire harness. The interior also has a custom Autosound radio that plays through a smartphone with Pioneer kick-panel speakers, insulated custom package tray speakers, and professionally done headliner and sail panels.
