Seller's comments about 1966' Chevrolet Chevelle

This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle 300 Deluxe feels like a pursuit special to us. After all, a big block with a big four-barrel carburetor is something pretty hard to outrun. But look at all the details of this police car tribute because there was a lot of time and money invested to make sure this law machine is going to steal some car show trophies. The first thing you notice is the paint. We love black on the outlaws, but this police machine wears it with extra dignity. Like a patrolmans uniform, its crisp and sharp, and the gloss has as much luster as a rookies shoes on his first day. Thats because youre looking at a solid investment in creating a comprehensively correct machine. The dog dish hubcaps, clean grille, and shining chrome bumpers give it good fundamentals. And the full-length trim really helps highlight some good-looking sheet metal. It was all part of a comprehensive restoration that also added all the police features youre going to love. The red lights in the grille up front, a complementing set on the rear deck, and theres a CB radio antenna that comes with the sale. The Detroit Police livery is era-correct, but they are decals in case you want to change it to a different municipality. Inside, this one retains its original-style fawn interior. The carpeting, headliner, door panels, and cool two-tone seat covers were all part of the restoration investment. So while the rear seat of a cruiser was usually reserved for the offender, no one will feel penalized for sitting in the back. In fact, since we doubt youll be carting around any criminals, the spacious rear seat is a comfortable place for family and friends when its parade time. Everything feels authentic, and all the right pieces received attention during restoration. So the steering wheel has a nice grip, the wide speedometer is smooth, and the turn signal lever is crisp. Plus, the center of the dash has controls for your lights and siren. Theres even a display-piece classic CB radio right in the center. When you look under the hood, the big V8 is like a glowing beacon of power within the gloss black engine bay. While everything looks like a period-correct restoration, the investments in this one also give you some subtle upgrades. For example, the air topper might say 396 cubic inches to be period-correct, but its actually a larger 454ci V8. It inhales deeply with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and the stainless dual exhaust really has a nice V8 tune. But this is far from just a big power machine. There are plenty of thoughtful touches. For example, the radiator might be painted black, but its an upgraded unit to help make sure the V8 runs cool. Plus, the whole package was tuned to be an excellent cruiser. This includes the stout TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a 12-bolt Positraction rear end with highway-friendly gears. Even the brakes were rebuilt during the restoration. So look over this whole package carefully, because it was built to be both clean and period-correct. Complete with title documentation, this much authoritative style and big block fun shouldnt be legal. But if you hurry, you can steal away in this cool cop car replica. Call today!!!
