1965 Chevrolet Chevelle

Ray Evernham Built 1965 Chevelle ZL1 427ci V8 LGT 5-Spd Detroit Speed Upgrades /// Owned by NASCAR Hall of Famer Ray Evernham, this 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle was built as a modern interpretation of the car he owned during his high school years, blending classic Chevrolet muscle car styling with substantially upgraded performance and drivability. Finished in deep black paint, the car features a subtle pro-touring stance accented by satin black Billet Specialties Magneto wheels wrapped in 245mm Nitto NT555 Extreme performance tires, along with drilled and slotted disc brakes that reinforce its updated road-going character. Power comes from a rare GM Performance Anniversary Edition 427, an all-aluminum big block produced as part of a limited run of just 427 engines built to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Chevrolet's legendary Mark IV big block. Utilizing forged internals, a hydraulic roller camshaft, and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, the engine delivers a factory-rated 430 horsepower through a Legend Gear & Transmission 5-speed manual, carbon fiber driveshaft, and Detroit Speed 9" rear axle assembly featuring Moser components, 3.70 gearing, and a limited-slip differential. Detroit Speed suspension hardware, coilover shocks, Baer four-wheel disc brakes, and upgraded power steering further modernize the driving experience. Inside, the restored-style black interior incorporates a Hurst shifter, upgraded instrumentation, Vintage Air climate controls, RetroSound AM/FM/Aux audio, modern kick panel speakers, and Detroit Speed Selecta-Speed wipers. Combining rare GM Performance power with carefully selected modern components and impressive build quality throughout, this Malibu SS represents a highly refined and collectible interpretation of Chevrolet's mid-'60s muscle car formula.
