1965 Factory Big Block Mystery Chevelle

1965 Chevelle

This fun project came to our shop in November of 2008 with an intriguing story. Originally this Chevelle was the property of GM and assigned to one of its executives, where it was fitted with a big block motor and became what was commonly called a "test mule." This so called test mule served the executive so well that he later bought the car from GM and passed down through his family where it was eventually sold to a gentleman in Arizona. It was under this ownership that a hot-rodded Chevelle was produced. Springs were cut, custom jet boat style upholstery was installed, and pink and purple paint appeared on various chassis and engine components.

Given the cars rich history and discussions between the owner and our shop, it seemed only fitting that this classic be restored as a Z-16 tribute car. It will primarily feature vintage attributes such as paint, trim, upholstery, and engine dress. Straying from the definition of a clone this car will enjoy aftermarket components such as disc brakes, radial tires, modern audio, while utilizing the 454 that is already there. The end result will be a comfortable driving vehicle that has the factory appearance of a unique and special model.
