1966 Chevrolet Chevelle

1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Custom

The 1966 Chevelle stands as one of the ultimate muscle cars from the era and makes for an outstanding base to create a custom hot rod to meet your taste. This 1966 Chevelle was treated to a multi-year frame off pro-touring-style build by Revolution Speed Shop in Auburn, WA and has been completed to an outstandingly high level.

Although the shape of the car is pure 66 Chevelle, it is clear that considerable work has been carried out to make this look completely unique. The bumpers were tucked and their hardware was shaved, and all of the exterior chrome was either deleted or powder coated black. When paired with the deep metallic gray paint and black Forgeline 18-inch GA3C wheels gives the car an extremely sinister look. A few upgrades on the exterior that might not be noticed on first glance include Ring Brothers mirrors, rear ABC Performance mini-tubs to accommodate 315-section rear tires, and all new lightly smoked glass from Auto City Classics.

The interior is far from original as well - taken down to bare metal and covered in Kill Mat to keep the noise and heat out, all work was completed by Marks Custom Upholstery in Seattle, WA. Building off of European-style square weave carpet, custom leather upholstery wraps the front bucket seats, rear bench, door cards and dashboard. A standard-looking 2-spoke steering wheel frames new Dakota Digital gauges, and a Vintage Air HVAC system keeps the passengers cool. A custom stereo with classic looking head unit and Kenwood speakers has also been installed.

It would be a disservice to have done all this work to the aesthetics and not improved the underpinnings - and they were not skimped on. Powering this Chevelle is a 427ci LS-based stroker V8 that was assembled with Air Flow Research 215 cylinder heads, a Brian Tooley Racing stage-3 cam, forged Eagle rotating assembly and a Holley Sniper low-rise EFI intake. As you would imagine, the car sounds incredible and sends power through a Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels via a Ford 9-Inch rear end with 3.73 gears and a positraction rear differential. The driveline is rated to 900 horsepower so you know it can take whatever you throw at it.

The suspension also received a solid group of upgrades including a rear quadralink setup with RideTech lower brackets and arms. At the front, custom fabrication allows for the use of Corvette C6 spindles, uppers and lowers, along with a power rack and pinion steering setup. The frame was entirely boxed in and powder coated for strength and durability and custom built sway bars have also been installed.

Completing a build to this level is extremely time consuming and pricy - and this example has been driven less than 2,000 miles since its completion in 2023. Offering show-stopping looks, a powerful and robust powertrain, this Chevelle is your ticket to any muscle car show you want to attend this summer.
