Wrench Report

By Chris Esparza

RestoMods Head Mechanic. 20 year classic car mechanic & builder.

This Chevelle feels like a well-sorted pro-touring build designed to be driven and enjoyed, not just shown off. The combination of the 400 small block, overdrive transmission, upgraded suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes should make it feel far more refined and comfortable than a typical mid-'60s A-body, especially on longer drives. The shaved firewall, updated electrical system, Dynamat insulation, and full custom interior all point toward a build that focused on drivability and overall finish quality, not just performance. The bright orange paint and larger wheel package give it a bold look while still keeping the classic Chevelle character intact. I'd still want to see detailed undercarriage and engine bay photos to really judge the craftsmanship, but overall this comes across as a clean, modernized restomod with the kind of balance that makes you want to get in and drive it anywhere.

Description

The 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle has been modified with a 400ci small-block Chevrolet V8 paired with a 700R4 automatic transmission. The build includes upgraded suspension, braking, electrical, climate control, and audio systems along with a full custom leather interior and extensive sound insulation throughout the cabin. The orange exterior was refinished several years ago, and the seller reports fewer than 1,200 miles have been accumulated since completion of the build. Located in Oak Hills, CA, this Chevelle is being offered by the private seller with a clean California title.

The body is finished in Dodge Neon Orange and fitted with newer glass along with replacement exterior trim and bumpers. The firewall has been shaved for a cleaner engine bay appearance, and the car rides on 18-inch US Mags wheels. Exterior details include chrome brightwork, updated weather sealing, and a restored coupe body configuration.

Power comes from a carbureted 400ci small-block Chevrolet V8 paired with a 700R4 automatic transmission. Cooling is supported by electric radiator fans as well as dedicated electric fans for the air-conditioning condenser. The electrical system throughout the vehicle has reportedly been replaced during the build process. Power is routed to a Ford 9-inch rear axle housed within a Currie four-link rear suspension system.

The chassis has been upgraded with a Heidts front suspension system equipped with adjustable coilovers along with a Currie four-link rear suspension and adjustable rear coilovers. Braking is handled through Wilwood disc brakes at all four corners. The cabin and body have been insulated with Dynamat material extending from the firewall to the tail panel area. Additional steering specifications and exhaust routing details were not disclosed.

The interior features a full custom leather upholstery treatment extending from the dashboard through the seating surfaces and into the trunk compartment. Additional interior modifications include updated wiring, custom trim work, and integrated audio equipment.

Power windows and Vintage Air climate control have been installed, and the car is equipped with an Arc Audio stereo system incorporating subwoofers and separate speaker components. Dash is custom with autometer gauges.
