1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible

INTRODUCTION: Talk about the ultimate sleeper! This Chevelle 300 post coupe looks like a stripped down grandma grocery getter, but don't let the innocent appearance fool you. Underneath is some serious muscle- a 427, 4-speed and 4.10 posi. Better yet, it's been treated to a meticulous nut and bolt, body off frame restoration. EXTERIOR: This post coupe is the definition of a sleeper. Looking at it, there's virtually nothing to indicate the muscle lurking under the hood. The body is absolutely straight and pristine, with gaps that are about as good as they get. From the rockers to the roof, every surface is straight, smooth and polished. The metallic is laid out evenly and the clear coat has a super glossy finish. The stainless trim and chrome has been replaced or restored, and it even has the correct style bowtie mirror.along with the weatherstrips and seals. The glass is crystal clear and along the weatherstrips and seals have been replaced. Completing the sleeper look are 15-inch painted poverty wheels with poverty dog dish hubcaps, wrapped in BFGoodrich tires with custom redlines. INTERIOR: The turquoise interior is restored like brand new from the carpet to the headliner. The floor has 300 Deluxe embroidered carpeted mats and the correct 4-speed shifter for the bench seat. The upholstery, door panels, armrests, visors, and headliner have all been replaced. The dash features a 160-mph speedometer, tachometer, and gauges, along with radio and heater delete, although it does have the optional padded dash. The steering wheel is restored, the window cranks and handles were replaced, and seat belts have been added. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Built by R&R Racing, the 427 is making 425+ hp! Starting with a 454 block it was built as a 427, topped with aluminum heads, a Bowtie aluminum intake, dual-feed 750 Holley carb with electric choke, HEI ignition, and coated headers. It runs cool with an aluminum radiator and water pump, factory shroud, and clutch fan. Everything looks fresh and proper, including the fuel pump, alternator, brackets, and pulleys. It also has power steering with a remote reservoir and an upgraded dual-reservoir master cylinder. The engine bay is exceptionally clean and detailed, with smooth painted metal surfaces throughout. Cast aluminum Motion valve covers finish it off nicely. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside is spotless and complete. Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted as slick as the exterior. Inside is clean metal with a neatly applied spatter finish. It's complete with the jack assembly, a matching new BFGoodrich tire on a painted rim, reproduction mat, correct stickers, and fresh weatherstrip. UNDERSIDE: Underneath, this '65 Chevelle is immaculate! It's literally a nut and bolt, body off frame restoration. Every part of the suspension looks new, including CPP springs, UMI rear control arms, and front and rear sway bars. The brake system was upgraded with front discs, and all the lines and e-brake assembly were replaced. It has a neatly installed dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers that sounds great. The fuel system was replaced, including the tank. Looking up at the motor, it is spotless and features a high-torque starter, backed by a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. A new driveshaft leads back to a 12-bolt rear end with 4.10 posi gears. All the metal underneath, including the chassis, is smooth- not even pitted. The floors are dry, clean, and solid, all painted black. Everything underneath still looks fresh and detailed. SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation.
