BUILT FOR SHOW, 350 TPI L98, ALUMINUM HEADS, CUSTOM PAINT/INTERIOR, BUDNIKS!!

Description

If you've been dreaming of building yourself the ultimate Chevelle, DO NOT start until you've had a good, long look at this '67. Built on an ultra-clean, stripped-down 2-door post coupe, the specifications read like a high-end parts catalog, including a fuel injected small block and custom paint, and it all combines to create one of the finest custom Chevelles we've ever featured.Refinished in tasteful purple over tan, there was just no point in trying to be subtle. Most of the original sheetmetal was retained, but in the quest for perfection, everything was smoothed and straightened so that the custom work would really stand out. The trim was all shaved to give it a sleeker look and a cowl-induction hood was installed simply because nothing looks better on an early A-body. The de-badging was thorough, and the most interesting detail on the car is now a simple graphic that creates a side molding on the rear quarters. The two-stage urethane paint looks so spectacular that onlookers might think it's still wet and it's obvious that a lot of late nights went into getting all the panels aligned just right. It's a few years old now, so it's got a few signs of work, but there's no denying that a lot of money went into the build. There's no chrome or stainless left, but the bumpers were tucked in close to the body and the window frames were expertly painted to match the body, adding a very monochromatic look that's quite appealing.There's not much stock Chevelle equipment remaining inside. Low-back buckets have beautiful tan cloth upholstery that is a lot more supple and comfortable than the hardy, shiny GM stuff. Custom door panels and carpets with custom floor mats add to the illusion that this is no ordinary Chevelle. The original dash has been extensively reworked; turn the key and it lights up with an instrument panel full of Dakota Digital instruments flanked by a leather-wrapped Budnik steering wheel on a custom tilt column. A custom center console adds a dose of style and practicality, and houses the shifter for the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission underneath. A powerful AM/FM/CD stereo with separate amplifiers in the trunk provides the soundtrack and there are power window and lock switches neatly integrated into the design. In the trunk, you'll find more gorgeous custom work that's more than up to the standards set by the interior design.Mechanically, this car is a wolf in, well, wolf's clothing. The 350 cubic inch L98 is topped by aluminum heads and fed by a factory Tuned Port fuel injection system that makes it start quickly, idle like a modern car, and pull like a freight train. Everything under the hood has been painted to match the body, the firewall and inner fenders have been smoothed, and a few splashes of machined aluminum add contrast. A BeCool aluminum radiator with a giant electric fan keeps it cool no matter what, and you're in good hands with power steering and front disc brakes. Out back there's a 12-bolt rear end hanging on upgraded trailing arms. Everything underneath has also been painted to match and remains in excellent condition with only minor signs of use. Finally, big 16-inch Budnik wheels wear right-sized 225/50/16 front and 255/50/16 rear BFGoodrich performance radials.With work by Rad Rods by Troy, you know this is a special car.
