Achieve Pro-Touring Nirvana With This Chevrolet Chevelle

We’ve covered plenty of Chevrolet Chevelles, both stock and modified. And this Pro-Touring ’66 Chevelle stands as one of the better examples we’ve seen yet.

The seller claims the car spent over 1,200 hours (!) in paint and body shops. You’ll find a plethora of subtle yet tasty modifications like custom body work, shaved door handles, drip rails and LED rear lights. The exterior is perfectly finished by a custom front grill and custom-machined three-piece aluminum deep-dish 19 and 20-inch ceramic-coated wheels wrapped in fresh Nitto rubber.

As you’d probably guess, this resto-mod is a lot more than just paint and body. Pop the machined billet hood hinges and you’ll find an LS6 with AFR heads, a Holley 750 carburetor, MSD ignition, Edelbrock intake manifold, custom-ground cam, ceramic-coated headers, and custom exhaust with electrical cutouts, and it’s all mated to a trusty Borg-Warner T-56 transmission. All in, you’re looking at 500 hp at the wheels. Induce heavy breathing.

Sift through the photos and you’ll find this Chevelle is littered with modifications:

  • Hydraulic clutch unit from a Corvette Z06.
  • Steel driveshaft.
  • Complete Hotchkis suspension with fully adjustable coilovers.
  • TCI 4-Link system with Moser 12-Bolt Rear with Posi-Trac and 3.73 gears.
  • TCI tubular front upper and lower control arms.
  • Rear and front NASCAR sway bars.
  • Vented and cross-drilled Baer brakes on all 4 Corners.
  • Willwood brake booster.
  • Custom red leather sport seats and matching rear benches.
  • Unique custom fabricated dash and gauges.
  • New door panels, headliner, sail panels, kick panels, dash pad and carpet.
  • Polished Billet Aluminum and Leather Wheel.

The best bit? This eBay-listed Chevelle can act as a racer or a daily driver. So whether you’re lining up at the next Optima Challenge or hittin’ the street, it would be more than eager to do so.

A far-too-tall Ontarian who likes to focus on the business end of the auto industry, in part because he's too tall to safely swap cogs in a Corvette Stingray.
