So it turns out that the devil is a street racer and seems to prefer Chevelles. This astounding 1967 Chevelle SS tribute makes no bones about its take-no-prisoners attitude and if you're a fan of black nothing on four wheels has ever worn it so well. Every square inch of the Chevelle's sleek body was straightened smoothed blocked and buffed before that miles-deep black paint went on. Realistic-looking flames were artfully airbrushed over the front fenders doors and quarters then the whole thing was polished to a show-stopping shine. There was no pretense of making it factory-correct although it isn't an original SS and it does wear SS badges today but does it even matter? A cowl-induction hood was installed after having a massive hole cut in it but that's the only non-stock panel on the exterior of the car and again it doesn't really have much to do with the quality of the car which is simply off-the-charts. Most of the trim including the grille bumpers and window surrounds has been painted black to blend in with the bodywork giving the car an insanely sinister look that definitely gets noticed never mind the giant engine hanging out of the hood or the cackling side pipes. This sucker just looks nasty. It's a street car of course but the race-quality gear inside speaks of this Chevelle's performance potential which is considerable. Supportive bucket seats are trimmed in black and hold you in place like their surfaces are covered in Velcro. A 6-point cage is there for safety and structural strength yet doesn't really get in the way of the doors thanks to sloping side bars. RCI harnesses help with the performance feel and might be necessary at the track and it's nice to see that the original back seat is still there just in case you have some nimble friends who want to come along. The original dash is augmented by a few Auto Meter instruments and a monster tach and the leather wrappers on the Grant GT wheel reinforce the performance vibe. Hurst supplied the 4-speed shifter and cue ball knob which is the primary source of entertainment since there is no radio (do you really need one in a car like this?). The Chevelle's ample trunk has been filled with a fuel cell and battery box plus the down bars for the cage all helping it work better when it matters. The heart of the beast is a 383 cubic inch stroker to which a Weiand blower and dual quads were added. The dream was to build an outrageous monster whose engine would tower over the roof and they've certainly succeeded. But if you look closer the thing is just beautifully built. First off everything under the hood is either black or carbon fiber including the twin Edelbrock carburetors and the blower itself. An Edelbrock intake is one of the few shiny bits under the hood and the valve covers have been painted to match the bodywork flames and all. Long-tube headers dump into those brutal black side pipes and the 4-speed spins a 12-bolt with its own flamed cover. The suspension is fairly stock but it has a nasty rake and sits just right on those 20-inch Valente wheels (in black naturally) which wear 235/35/20 front and 285/40/20 rear performance radials. No this car isn't for everyone but if a subtle kind of overkill is your thing cars like this just don't come along all that often. Call today!
