1966 Chevelle 300 Deluxe 10 Sec Pro Street Race Car 740hp 540 Bbc Nova Camaro on 2040-cars

This auction is for a Pro Street 1966 Chevelle 300 Deluxe that has a chassis that is designed to hold up to the extreme power of the engine. All of the fabrication work was done professionally and when inspected at the track it passes with flying colors. Here is why that is important. This kind of power can accelerate up to 150mph in a 1/4 mile and you cant have any failers at that speed. Anyone, rather driving on the street or racing at the track should have confidence knowing that only the best quality was used in putting together their race/street car. All of the tracks I have been to religiously inspect the cars for "safety" and look for things like the cage being properly designed welded to the frame and fitted, harness attachments propery placed and attached, tire clearance tread and quality, extended lugnut studs, drive shaft loop, transmission shield or blanket, and all external rotating parts are required to be SFI rated. This entire car has all the ingredients to make accelerating, reaching high speeds and slowing down- safe and sound as either a street car or track machine.

There is no way to list all of the insane upgrades to this car. To start, I have had it for 15 years and poured thousands of dollars into it making sure it was done safe and right. This car has always been garaged with a cover on it.The engine, trans and drive trane really only have about 150 tuning/road/break in miles on them (not track). The $18k 540 BBC engine has "all new" top of the line parts including Dart block, AFR heads, Isky red zone lifters, Jesel shaft rockers. The engine was dyno tuned by Rick Waters Racing in Phoenix and produced 740HP 680 torque on pump gas. Engine has different (then below pictures) headers and valve covers that fit better in this car. Here is a site with engine build pictures- https://picasaweb.google.com/tmoble/MoreHoss540PicsUnsorted#.

The car has a 10 point roll cage with driver and passenger cam lock 5 point harnesses. The frame is boxed with roll cage welded to it and the drive shaft tunnel has been fabricated and trussed in 5 locations connecting the body cross members as seen in the pictures. Most tunnels are just half round circles without trussing. The tunnel is tall as seen in the interior pictures so the car can be lowered as much as you want. The transmission also has tons of clearance because the tunnel goes all the way to the front.. The back half is all Chris Alston Chassis works. The rear housing is a 4 link Fab 9 and the Strange Pro nodular center section has a Detroit locker, 35 spline Strange axles with 4:10 ratio. The rear brakes are Wilwood pro street duel piston calipers with extra thick rotors. Both front and back suspension have adjustable coil overs. The rear tires are pretty much the widest Mickey Thompson 15" slick made - I was sick of always loosing traction. The transmission is a professionally built Turbo 400 with Cheeta valve body and is manual shift with a 3500 stall converter. The front end has a manual steering gear box and boxed lower control arms. All of the front bushings and joints have been done and are Moog. The front brakes are duel piston from a Corvette which use huge rotors. There is a transmission cooler in front of aluminum radiator as well as a pusher electric fan that sits behind the grill. The switch for it is where the front license plate bolt is-see pic.

The interior is all black- carpet, headliner, door panels etc. The floor has been sealed, Rhino lined and has pad beneath carpet to reduce noise. The shifter is a hurst pistol grip with trigger that activates the front brake lock for burn outs. I just recently bought a Dakota digital instrument cluster so that this expensive engine has correct readings and you know how fast you are going down the road. Look up Dakota Digital for a 66 Chevelle and you will see that its capabilities are endless- $750 very well spent. There is also an air fuel mixture gauge in the middle of the dash that tells you how perfect this thing is tuned throughout the RPM's.

I have to mention (because its both funny and ridiculous) that this car draws a ton of attention everywhere it goes. All it takes is going to the corner gas station for fuel for people to come out of the woodwork. From trying to pull next to me to ask about it or try to provoke a race from erratic driving - all types of enthusiasts surface when this thing rolls down the road. I have even had the gas station attendant inside the store ask me over the loud speaker "what kind of bitchin car is that and what does it run in the quarter." Even our local Sheriff came over to admire and praise the car. Who knows what would happen if it went out on a regular basis. All of that happened in the three times I took it out in the last 6 months. 

I am pretty sure 1966 is smog exempt so you can drive this on the street with appropriate tires if you choose - even in California.

I am selling because I have to many hobbies, they closed our favorite track and I cant justify doing this instead of spending time with my kids.

To do this car over again would cost at least $50,000 so realize it's listed for half of what I have into it and most everything is like new/barely used.

This car always starts right up, drives straight down the road, is insanely fast and stops easily.

"Body has a few small scratches on right rear tail bezel and on side of hood and paint sag underneath sticker on driver side fender otherwise in great condition. There is no heater or glove box- space is occupied by electronics and shaving unnecessary items from car."

There will be no joy rides, this is a race car and requires someone who has money to maintain it and is responsible.. You can literally be casually driving this thing down the road and stomp on it and boil these huge 33x17x15 slicks on the street.

"Please keep in mind that this is a race car meant to go fast in a straight line and has required maintence and necessity for someone that is mechanically inclined." This car is not set up to drive thousands of miles. It needs to be tweaked regularily and set up for different track conditions so you need to know what you are doing.

This car is sold as is and I assume no responsibiliy for it once it leaves my posession.

I have no ability to ship, buyer has to set up all transport costs and pick up..

Sorry to those interested in my last auction. I ended early because I could not get good picture quality or proper formatting without starting over. I must be doing something wrong with my advertising because I am watching other "muscle car" sellers getting bids on total hack job cars that will blow up or desintrigate the minute you hit the throttle on them.

Good luck!!!
