1964 Chevrolet Chevelle. The car is very, very solid. The center console is a welcome option, highlighted by the aforementioned 4-speed shifter, and the original gauges in the dash are augmented by a SunPro tachometer mounted on the steering wheel and a triple set of white-face units installed under the dash. An AM/FM/cassette stereo lives in the dash and a glance out back into the spacious trunk reveals a period-correct mat atop the spatter painted finish and a full-size spare. Performance got a nice upgrade as well, thanks to a strong 350 V8 small block under the hood, with the former owner claiming the powertrain to be built and stroked to a healthy 355 cubic inches. Topped with a Quick Fuel 4-barrel carburetor mounted on a Holley Street Dominator intake, it' got plenty of pop, and it starts easily and idles with enough of a lope to let folks know it's no pushover. Bright chrome on the valve covers and open-element air cleaner shines against the Chevy Orange engine enamel and neatly detailed black inner fenders and smoothed blue firewall. Power steering and power brakes enhance the driving experience greatly, and a big aluminum radiator ensures that the block stays nice and cool under any circumstances. The strong small block feeds a quick-shifting 4-speed manual transmission and a robust 10-bolt rear, and long-tube headers exhale through a dual set of Flowmaster-style chambered mufflers for just the right sound. The slightly raked stance is exactly right, not too low but not like mom's grocery-getter, either, and with shiny American Racing wheels and 245/50/16 Cooper radials, it looks fast just sitting still.
