1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible Restomod
When it comes to blending classic charm with modern muscle, this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible Restomod takes center stage. Built by Metal Works Speed Shop of Eugene, OR, this iconic beauty is a rolling testament to timeless design and cutting-edge innovation. Wrapped in a custom Blue metallic paint that shimmers like a gem under the sun, the Chevelle radiates sophistication. The gray denim-like cloth folding top adds a unique contrast, while updated headlights and taillights deliver a subtle modern touch. With its aggressive yet refined stance on staggered 19-inch and 20-inch Boze alloy wheels wrapped in Continental Extreme tires, this Chevelle commands attention.
Under the hood lies the heart of a beast: a 6.0L 364ci Chevrolet Performance crate engine that delivers an impressive 452 horsepower. Featuring an Edelbrock EFI system, LS6 hydraulic roller camshaft, and aluminum LS3 rectangular port cylinder heads, this powerhouse provides relentless performance. Polished aluminum valve covers and an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans enhance both form and function. Flowmaster long tube headers and a dual Flowmaster exhaust system amplify the Chevelle's aggressive growl, while the 4L60E automatic overdrive transmission and Ford 9-inch rear with 3.70 limited-slip gearing create smooth yet spirited driving dynamics.
To match its powerhouse engine, the Chevelle's handling has been elevated with an upgraded suspension. Ridetech front control arms, coil-over shocks, and oversized anti-sway bars provide excellent balance and control, while tubular rear control arms add rigidity. Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes with polished calipers and a Wilwood master cylinder deliver stopping power as impressive as the car's acceleration.
Step inside, and you'll find a cabin that redefines luxury. The custom blue leather interior is an artful blend of detail and comfort, featuring reclining bucket seats, a full-length custom center console with integrated rear speakers, and hand-fabricated door panels with bespoke speaker enclosures. Contrasting square weave carpet and a leather-wrapped dash pad add a touch of vintage elegance, while modern amenities like power windows, Vintage Air climate control, and upgraded retro-look Dakota Digital gauges make every journey a pleasure. The leather-wrapped steering wheel atop a tilt steering column enhances driver comfort, while the power convertible top invites effortless open-air cruising.
Built for both show and go, this Chevelle is as functional as it is beautiful. The power steering and oversized Wilwood brakes make it a joy to drive, while custom fabrication throughout the build showcases meticulous attention to detail. From its high-performance drivetrain to its luxurious interior, this restomod is a perfect example of what happens when classic style meets modern engineering.
