Meet the pride of the fleet - a magnificently restored  1966 Chevelle Pro-street - blown 502.

Note: Shown below on this page are the principal photos of the Chevelle.
Additional photos can be seen at this link: Community Webshots Photo Album of 66 Chevelle

 

This car is FAST and a lot of fun to drive. We show the car 6 to 10 times a year, and she is a prize winner!

  • This pro-street is wicked and not for the weak-hearted.

  • Paint is Garnet Red Pearl Sikkens paint with clear coats.

(A very special thanks goes to ace mechanic Steve Henle of "The Shop" in Stevensville, Montana (406-777-1485) for putting up with me through the years and for being a good friend...Thanks for all the help.) (Also, a thousand thanks to web designer Dick Cunningham (MOPAR forever!) who also has to put up with an incredible amount of nonsense from me.)
