What does a $200K Chevelle look like? Probably like this Big Block ’66 from Pro-Touring.com, Currently for sale, the buyer of a high end build like this usually comes out smellin’ like a rose as the car rarely returns what it cost to restore.
Located in Escondido, CA, seller states many mods to body including smoothed firewall, shaved drip rail moldings and smoothed hood with custom raised center. After every panel was deemed laser straight, the body was sprayed out in a fetching Fusion Orange.
Inside, this Chevelle is sportin’ a Conejo stitched, two tone, pumpkin and charcoal leather interior with a custom console and custom dash with AutoMeter gauges.
The running gear has been completely modernized as well. The frame was taken down to bare metal and rebuilt with Hotchkis upper and lower rear suspension, Global West upper front control arms, Air Ride Technologies hydraulics and a 9” Ford rear end.
Motivation is provided by a ported 572 GM crate motor, 950 Holley carb, and ceramic coated headers and exhaust system. Putting power to the rear wheels is a Bowtie Overdrives 765R4 Stage 3 transmission with FTI 2800 stall converter.
The car originally came on market at $125K and is currently offered in a no reserve auction on eBay starting at $80K. That’s still steep, but with only 1500 miles on the clock since completion, this Chevelle might suddenly be a good buy. Now all it needs is a good home.
