65 Chevelle AFX first look

A little mixed metaphors on this car. No real precedent, "Tiger Too" is close. Today is the first time I rolled it outside to have a look...

 

O HELL YEAH!!! That is one AWESOME Chevelle man. My Dad and I want to do exactly that to a '64 Chevelle post car. Love the BBC with the cross ram. What kind of hood are you going to run? Scoop or holes or???

Sean

 

That is Wicked!!!!

 

I don't know. Kelly Chadwick ran a crossram in his 65 and I think he just had two holes in the hood...

 

*****in dude!

 

Mr. Rich it looks like you have a Pontiac mixed in with the Chevy pics. Looks to be a '65.

 

maybe that was to show how much it looks like the old beswick GTO......

 

Hell Yeah!!! Thats what I'm talking about!!!Looks KIller

 

This is just too cool! Very nice build, man. Can't wait to see it done.

Joel

That is *****in now! We're gonna have to find a new word to describe it when you're done.

I see candy red and gold leaf lettering. What are your plans for color and such?

 

*****in setup... got any ch***is or interior floor shots...? thanks brandon

 

Hell yea! To cool!

 

MRRICH, love the Chevelle. Give us some more specs and plans for the car please. Motor, trans, rearend, gear ratio, ect. Is it going to be streetable or strictly a drag car?

Thanks,
Sean

 

Oh man, a Chevelle 300. Those are hard to come by. Awesome start on an awesome car. Can't wait to see more progress pics.

 

Street car. 9 inch, 3:70 gears, t-10, 502. The cam isn't much, 575 lift, 240 something duration@50. Lever car. lots of low end, should be kind of a handful.

 

Didn't Malcolm Durham drive a 65 like this. The " Strip Teaser "...Not sure

 

Malcolm had a 64 sedan not altered and a 65 hardtop altered a lot. The 65 was cool as ****.

A good friend of mine has owned two of those 65 chevelle 300s for three years. And owns both of them because he has a project like this planned. Hopefully this lights a fire under his ***. YOUR THE AWB MAN RICH!!!!!!!!

Great car. When I was deep into '65 Chevelles - I remember one of the first z16 went to Dan Blocker from Bonanza. "Hoss" would be a cool name on that big block '65.
